Just wanted to quickly mention a few blogs I’m reading lately, that I am finding to be loads of fun and very resourceful. Both are written by brides-to-be, and I hope they don’t mind me mentioning them here!
Shaza’s Scrapbook
This personal blog, written by bride-to-be Shaza chronicles her walk to the altar with detailed posts on everything from shopping in Karachi, to local eats (wedding related, no, but come one, we all need to unplug from the wedding brain for a while) I loved her post on and her review of local (halal!) eater Chipotle, which I am definitely planning on checking out next time I’m in the T dot O, since I’m really Jonesing for Mexican food these days.
Obsession99
Also another great blog, I found my latest workout-to-be here. Like Shaza, she writes really detailed, heartfelt posts about the whole wedding planning thing. Honestly, as someone who just started blogging about bridal fashion because I liked the pretty pictures, I really like the way brides are journalling the whole process online. When I got married, there were no desi wedding blogs (wincing as I date myself), and I was the first of my friends to go through the whole thing, and also the oldest of my sisters, so no one to relate to. I wish I could have read obsession99, I would have known I wasn’t the only one.
Also, I’m on twitter! I finally took the plunge deeper into the social networking quagmire and now you can follow my ramblings in 140 characters or less by using my handle, @AainaBridal. But don’t worry, there are very few sentences I can fit into that few characters, so I won’t be too active…I think.
My blogroll should be active soon, and I’ll be adding all my fave blogs to the list for your browsing pleasure. Alternatively, if you are a South Asian Bride with a talent for writing and have your own blog to chronicle it, lemme know so I can add you to my blog roll!!

Your blog is definitely an inspiration to ALL brides-to-be… and guilty pleasure for those already married
Thanks again

p.s. Chipotle is actually not halal – just the cheese is rennet-free so it’s 100% Halal and Vegetarian aswell. Sorry if I confused you!
No problemo! It’s a guilty pleasure for me as well. Keep on blogging! Bummer@chipotle not being halal. that’s okay, the veggie sounds good too…cilantro lime rice…here I come!
O em jee! I never thought my rants could actually end up helping out!! Thank you soo much for the recognition. Totally adore your blog – so many colors all in one place
Stay in touch!
