The week end saw me going to a bridal function of one of the second cousins of Hd.The relationship even to Hd was so distant that it was very hard to connect them to him.The Bride was Hd' s grandmother's (senior MIL's) seventh brother's third daughter.Senior MIL's family was interesting and so confusing that it was hard to know who -was-who.She has 7 sisters and 6 brothers or could be reverse 7 brothers and 6 sisters, she being the oldest of them all and in a grand age of 83 years and the surprising fact was none of the sisters came for our marriage , which disappointed her a lot.She wanted to see them all once in this marriage and so there we were three ladies one in her 80+ another in her 50 +,me the last and the FIL.

Finally I got a chance to wear the crape pink saree which was bought some 4 years back when one of my cousins was getting married and though it was not actually my style to wear a pearl set and would have preferred any gold set other wise , MIL asked saying that it would look good and also gave pearl bangles.:/....not my style at all..but well.My mom if she had seen me would give a happy laugh , that i am pearl bangles (for some one who would not wear bangles at all ).Some how pearls kind of give a corporate dinner look and they better suit when you are going to a formal dinner some where.
On reaching there one thing which really stuck me was that all Senior MIL's family almost looked alike . All were tall , had loud voices , long faces , all the ladies had fair skin , all were old , had problems with their back and legs ,even in getting fat they were maintaining uniformity .but Senior MIL was the tallest of them all for sure .She stands 5 8 i guess.one thing i always wondered was from where did Hd get his long face since both MIL and FIL had narrow faces only , The seeds lied here .
