My bridal shower

I wanted to have a small get together with my very close friends before my wedding. Just a small shower of sorts to stir up some excitement. My dear friend Shae took the reigns and organized a small intimate gathering with my closest girlfriends here. My other friend Chenchula (Chunny) hosted the event at her new apartment.
When i arrived i got to wear a bride-to-be sash. What a way to really make it official. All my friends contributed some kind of food for the day, and it was a nice mix of pasta salad, curried potatoes, fried okra, chicken pulau (a rice dish with cloves), and some butter chicken with roti. To top it off they bought my favourite chocolate cake from the best bakery here in Hyderabad!
We played a few games and one of them was about Muscles and I.
here are the questions and the actual answers that Muscles gave to Shae:

1. Where exactly did they meet:
At Timothy's house (he was the guy I lived with for a month before moving into my own place) Muscles was friends with him.

2. Where was their first date?:
Muscles took me to a nice Chinese restaurant called Chinese Pavilion and then to a funky coffee shop called Mocha for dessert.

3. What is their favourite pastime:
We like to watch movies or go to the movies

4. What is Muscles favourite colour on Shelley?
"She looks great in black, but I love when she wears green as it really brings out the colour in her eyes: Straight from his mouth!

5. Will anyone be coming to Canada for the wedding?
Yes, Laurie and Karen!

6. What colour is Shelley's wedding dress for the ceremony?
Maroon and gold

7. Which restaurant is their favourite?
Far East (Chinese restaurant)

And here is a poem that Shae wrote for the shower. It's so cute:

There once was a girl named Shelley
Her head so soft and curly
Her skin so white, her teeth so pearly
She loved on her scooter to be

Then once Junayd saw this fresh Lily
He didn't know the difference between road and gully
her large earrings
her smile, her designer taste drove him just crazy

Junayd and his Ottawa lady in GachiBowli
Both eaters of Biryani, bhindi
Decided to marry
and lived forever happily

NB* Junayd is Muscle's' real name and gachibowli is the residential area I live in.

It was a great day, I had so much fun with my friends!! Now I can't wait to go to Canada and see my family and friends and celebrate my wedding with them!!!
Enjoy the pics!
