Hold up! Wait just a minute! Wedding Reception?!?
You might staring at your screen thinking to yourself "but you were married five months ago didn't you have a reception then? Or are you just greedy and want to be the centre attention all over again?!?" For those of you who know my husband and I you know that neither of us enjoy being the centre of attention. I am the epitome of a wallflower. I find a corner and blend into it like a ninja, its my skill. Obviously on our wedding day we were all smiles and so busy with ceremonies, pictures, etc I didn't even have a chance to find a corner to blend into. Though truth be told wearing a big white dress makes it difficult to blend haha! So back to the wedding reception part 2. On our blessed day I had five people from Idaho with me my mum, cousins Kaitie and Talon, best friend Annette, and Poky mum Lynn. The rest of my family (there are a lot of them) didn't have passports or funding to attend. So we are packing up and having a celebration with all the family and friends I left back home in Idaho.
And while it seems like all fun and games, with a second celebration comes all the wedding stresses I left behind five months ago. Budgets, organising food, accommodation for people not local and the idea that I'm bringing a family from London (used to the London lifestyle (Grandparent, In-laws, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins) to the rural life of Idaho where big shopping means a trip to the local Wal-mart. I know everyone is excited that the prospect of seeing mountains, a trip to Yellowstone and of course the celebration of Sudheer and I tying the knot, but I have to wonder is everyone going to be bored with the Idaho way of life? Anyone who has been to the UK especially London knows that life here is just different, its fast paced and you pretty much have the world at your finger tips. I still haven't fully adjusted and I've lived here for six months.
To top it off I am also finally organising the shipping of all my belongings from Idaho to the UK. EIN numbers, insurance, packing lists, oh the endless fun.
All I can is, I hope the reception will go well and everyone will get along. Hopefully my dress will fit and I can figure out how to do my makeup by myself. The food won't be what the UK family is used to (we had a full meal including drinks and hors d'oeuvres, but those from Idaho will know what to expect (cake, punch, and nibbles) but hopefully everyone just enjoys being together.
