I'd love for my bridesmaids to wear sari's the day of the wedding but the reaction from most of my Indian friends is not what I expected. It seems like they don't want me to have my maids wear sari's (which I think are so classy and beautiful!). Any ideas why? Thanks for your help!!Hannah]]>

Weather was superb (after weather reports of thunderstorms all weekend), everything went according to plan, no major snafus and everyone had an amazing time!  I will post vendor reviews soon to help out the Chicago/Midwest brides.  I loved ALL my vendors -- they went above and beyond and did more than anyone could have asked for.   Leaving for our honeymoon on Monday, but before that, I thought I would share a few things (take out any ) and sorry I  don't know how to make them clickable:  Amazing wedding video my brother made and was played at the wedding:  <a href="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=148839861788&amp;ref=mf" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=148839861788&amp;ref=mf</a>  Wedding trailer:  <a href="http://delackmediagroup.blogspot.com/2009/09/megha-and-vivek.html" rel="nofollow">http://delackmediagroup.blogspot.com/2009/09/megha-and-vivek.html</a>  Pictures by friends: <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/vivek.megha" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/vivek.megha</a>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Hey all...I was wondering if anyone had insight on whether having an engagement party is necessary?  My FI is very non-traditional- he is Indian, but does not have a bone of Indian culture.  My family is more traditional and keeps insisting that we need to have an engagment party.  My parents not only want us to have a traditional Indian engagement party, but also indirectly expect his parents to host it since apparently it is Indian custom for the guy's side to have it?  His family is willing to have a party for us, but my FI is very resistant to it.  He doesn't understand why we have to do all these traditions when neither of us know what they mean and he thinks an Indian wedding is enough.  He also does not see the point as it is an extra cost and our funds are limited.  We talked about having something small with only immediate family, but even that he does not want...  I am more traditional and I really want an engagement party but I don't know how to convince him!  Any thoughts?]]>

        <description><![CDATA[I know we have talked about wedding songs, entrance songs etc.  What are some good songs to play at the reception????  I am not having a SA DJ-but he will play  whatever I want.  I will hear a song and say-yeah-I like that one.  But I can't ever think of names or artists.  As I am writing this-I realized my guests will be so &quot;confused&quot;-we are having salsa, merengue, r&amp;B, jazz, hip hop, indian, arabic...]]>

        <description><![CDATA[FI and I were hanging out with a couple of his SA friends yesterday (both originally from Bombay but have been here for a few years).  Anyway, we started discussing a friend of FI's who'd told us for months that she was coming to our wedding but never sent in the rsvp card.  We'd planned to count her as a yes, but then she no-showed on a shower and so I asked FI to pin her down and she finally said she wasn't coming.  (For a pretty lame reason that is too long of a story for this post.)  Anyhow, when we were talking about this, my focus was very American-like and centered around the fact that we were about to pay for her and her husband and that she hadn't bothered to tell us she was in fact not coming.  The friends didn't seem to entirely &quot;get it.&quot;  After they left, FI and I were talking and he was saying that the focus for Indians is much different - whereas it's not so bad to rsvp no here, it's much worse among Indians.  Which now has me worried about no-shows.  A lot.  Our wedding's pretty far away and I can already sense some of his friends being sort of flaky about coming.  So, my question is, did any of you have a substantial issue with no-shows?  Do you sense that there are a lot of people among SAs who will say they're coming to save face but then not show?  More so than with other weddings, if you know?  Advice?  I really do not want my parents to pay for 30 people who don't show up.]]>
