indian wedding here i come...

so tomorrow i fly to houston for a friend's wedding. she and her husband are having a traditional indian wedding commencing this evening with her mehndi party. sadly i can't make it down for that, but will be there this time tomorrow in the sunshine. my sari that i ordered several weeks ago is still in jaipur. sigh. even with the best will in the world it isn't going to get to me in time for saturday night's reception. now i have to decide what to wear...for the actual wedding ceremony (that starts at 8am saturday - in a temple, so covered shoulders), the evening reception...and tomorrow night's cocktail party. 3 outfits in 2 days. my dream. or so i thought until i realised i have to i) choose the outfits not to mention the accessories and shoes and ii) pack it all it into a carry-on bag. mission impossible. photos will come in around 3 weeks - after houston we fly to england for 10 days...for the scottish wedding (no outfit for that either, dramarama).
