colombo, Sri Lanka
So we arrive in Sri Lanka and are traveling in style we have a nice little man waiting for us with our names on a board thanks to Lil & Kush and Kush's fam. We drive about 2.5-3 hours in outragous traffic to arrive at Savi's place (Kush's cousin). We were welcomed in and given breakfast, our first taste of Sri Lankan food. Rice and fish curry, slightly different from the bacon & eggs Andy normally likes ha-ha! We then headed of with Lil, Kush & Jax to our 2 bedroom apartment in Mount Lavinia which would be our home for the next 8 days. It was fantastic, A/C in every room - which we needed my god soooooooo hot and humid. We settled in and then it was of to do some wedding things.
Over the next few days Andy did a lot of waiting around bless him, lucky he can be paitient! We definatly did discover that Sri Lankans do things in Sri Lankan time, which is not ever on time!! We had a number of dress fitting's each one promising to be the last - worth it in the end though.
We went out and celebrated Lillys birthday have a look at the attached photo's. Us girls pampered ourselves a little with facials, pedi's and mani's. Andy and I went for a few wonders around and visited some shops of course although nothing much was purchased as I am very aware I need to carry everything for the next year!!
We a couple more nights out and then it was the friday - the day before the big day!! It came around so very quickly. We all headed down to Villa Ocenia were we were staying. Saturday we headed over to Blue waters, the restort where the wedding was being held. Again, Sri Lankan time we waited around for Lilly's suite for about an hour & 1/2 and up we went and the day began. 3 hairdressers and one make-up artist arrive to beautify us. I was a little over whelmed with my make-up at first as I don't think I have ever worn so much but I got use to it. Lilly of course looked so very beautiful. We had the photo's done first, then went down and the ceremony began, with a large audience from the resort - very weird!! As we entered the reception we had traditional Sri Lankan dances either side of us, very cool! Lil and Kush did a outfit change half way through the night into traditional dress, they looked gorgeous again! The night ended with a few of us that were not yet ready to leave in a very deserted night club at the resort! Fantastic day!
