Subject: one more June birthday?

We thought we'd have the will power to wait until the new year, but someone can't wait to introduce themselves to the family any longer....baby had his/her first video debut and wants to share it with all of you.  He/she is still a little shy, but we think the little one will be ready to say hello to the world on June 30, 2012.  Do you think there's room for one more name on the June birthday cake in this family?

Happy Holidays everyone!

Love,

Mansi, Jeremy, ?

The dance after the dinner was a blast. The most of the music in the dinner dance  was popular  "80's current"  something I am familar. It also covered  Chicken dance,  Locomotion, twist, thriller and also with special request Macerena, few popular Bollywood party songs. See the  partial list of music and songs.

The joureny to Iowa was as good as  the destinarion. Very pleasantly surprised to see beautiful city of Omaha with very well developed  riverfronts, botanical gaderns, public art and  fabulous  restaurant. Same true for Sioux city, Nebraksa. Iowa landscape loaded with corn-fields , windmills  readily proved the land to be  food-basket of the world. Okobaji lake was like an oasis in the agriculture landscape. Here are some of pictures of the places.

Dear Mansi and Jeremy

More I see, more  I learn about the  details, more  I  like  the pictures, more I see  the pictures again. !   For example  just see one  and see   the wedding dresses,  flowers, hair, makeup, jewelery, decorations,  felicity on face the  grand gesture and  the perfect  posture  and the  scintillating  sparkling smile, ..  One can write more  than ever  written for the   famous art pictures  like Mona Lisa's smile .

That is one picture taken by me   by pushing ( rather shoving ) dozen of my peers ( ametuer  photogrpahers and fellow Baratis ),  to  find the position to take the picture  ( and I do not  regret  my squeezing-in). Now that is  one picture by me.  Now see the amplification   and  enrichmnet by professional  photogrpahers  for the fair-tale wedding  in many pictures.  The  photos  clearly  and  readily show the joy, the ruckus, the merriment and some of the more contemplative moments which occurred for  you and all attendess .

These beautiful  photios  has  captured the moments of your and our  lifetime memories  to remember and  relish  always,    I  have  been hooked  to seeing the pictures at
http://mansijeremy.blogspot.com/  and  my computer screen would have been  permanent itched  with the wedding pictures   Now I have  another  chnannel as well.

The Best Wedding ... Ever!

The wedding of Mansi and  Jeremy  was  outstanding, memorable, and  full  of  fun.  The wedding guests are left buzzing with delight. This wedding reminded me of many Hollywood and  Bollywood wedding films   specially “Ham Aapke hai  kaun?   Likening the wedding extravaganza to a movie production, this was a perfect event. Great and unique  gathering of  family and  friends   from around the planet,  bonding with new  relatives,  the  timing,  decorations,  photographers, DJ, choreography, dances, cuisines, drinks, entertainments,  gesture for donation, every piece of wedding rituals all  reflected the couple's and  their parent’s  unique preferences and better  tastes . This reflected the best from the  east and the west.  Hats off for all  the hard work, creativity and  the attentions to details  with out showing  slightest  stress.  

Mansi is extra-special  for  being the only grand- daughter  to  our parents with  twelve grand-sons . So is truly a princess. This was  truly  a royal wedding.   So  the  name of   the wedding  venue  being “The Palace”  was  more than symbolic co-incidence.

Please find several photo-albums of the events of Mansi and Jeremy’s wedding and  few events  before the wedding.
