I am excited to witness a wedding in my family in 30 days. The last wedding we had was 5 years back. And I missed 2 family weddings while we were overseas.<\/p>\n

My family is always EXCITED about things. We’ll be excited about kenduris, rayas or other events that involve family matters.<\/p>\n

I am writing today to share my view about gift giving. Some people think of gift giving as a lame idea, but to me, it’s a sign of your love. The smallest gift from one person opens the heart of the other. I’d feel touched, appreciated and get the feel of much love getting a gift from someone.<\/p>\n

Since Nina is getting married to Shafiq soon, here are some GREAT ideas what we can give this young (???) couple.<\/p>\n

If Nina can tell us what she wants…we’ll gladly get something PRACTICAL for their use at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The bride likes painting….so perhaps you can get her a GOOD painting…not the lowya one…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
