why wy?

Congrats to arti, who got married last night, and sheela, who got proposed to the night before that.

funniest bit: it was pretty good of the priest to give a running commentary of what the prayers meant in english, and during the last one, the couple have to take seven steps together. You should have seen arti's eyes widen in horror after saying for the nth time, may we be blessed with many children. It was at a temple, so the food was veggie and no drinking, but at tonight's dinner, there will be alcohol (to complete the irish component of the wedding, just kidding). Although one irish guest did tell us he doesn't want to see another beer when he goes back home...

It's the season for weddings, the result of the combination of age and auspiciousness - i've attended four in the last two months and missed one or two on top of that. And it's not just me, i've read two opinion pieces about whether one should go to an ex's wedding or not. Does it sting, even the teeniest bit, just for a millisecond, to know that someone you used to care about has moved on while you haven't? i guess this only applies if you've been invited ha ha.

We ribbed the office don juan about it (he's not the marrying sort - yet) and said if he did tie the knot, he'll need two tables for all the old flames.
