One title lost and two titles gained!!!

Before the wedding and before my mom and sisters devious plot which has left me literally without any hair(I'm speaking in relative terms: Relative to myself : Hehe!!). Oh now back to the subject. Before returnign to civilization they called me, "The Afro Man" but I was literally cut(as in scissor, lawn mower, turbines) short of my title. Anyways the upside was that I received two more instead.
The first title was the obvious title of IN LAW. The second not so obvious title was that of VAKIL. This is quite an awesome title that is usually translated to lawer, but in my case I'm a witness to my sisters nikah. This made me quite happy cos there were 2 Vakils, one me and the other one was my Uncle. It is quite ironic that I couldnt be present at my sisters nikah, I was a couple of hours late so I had to put in my signatures in boxes that were left blank later. Kumbaya!!! A witness who has witnessed nothing at all. Now isnt that just plain weird.

Anyways coming to the marriage. This Baraat like most baraat's was really emotional and stuff. I mean it started with the usual getting to the hall really early, seeing that everything is in order, waiting for guests and meeting everyone, followed by waiting for the groom to arrive, running up and accompanying my sister down to the stage, everyone getting pictures taken people coming to me and introducing me to their kids and stuff. Really hectic stuff. It wasnt that bland though. I just wish I could add video to my blog somehow, but blogging 3 days after something has happened makes recollection quite difficult. Then again it is more of an obligation. I wish I had developed pictures and stuff. Waisey maybe in the two weeks I get off after the semester I'll work with Raheel's(The Groom) brother Nabeel to work on a website in honor of the newly wed couple. www.Maria&Raheel.com was what we envisioned. It'll be full of pictures and stuff. But then again going on like this about it wont make anything happen so I'll cut off this blog right here saying that the wedding was awesome. I'd rather not go into the emotional stuff that followed. (My mom and other relatives crying is not what I want to fill this blog up with, I'd rather fill up this blog with pictures of the wedding food for all my GIKIAN friends. Mutton Karahi, Chicken Biryaani and Chicken Roast, followed by gajar waala halwa and kheer. Now lets see who gets emotional !!!)

/me is waiting for the pictures to get developed.
