It's Me, KP

Mike and Neha Got Married... Twice!

My brother Mike got married back in September and I had posted some photos on Facebook but realized I never shared them here.  They had both a Hindu and Christian cermony which meant double the fun (and double the pretty bridesmaid dresses for me!)  It was a really beautiful weekend and I wish I had taken more pictures.  Here are a few favorites of the ones I snapped and the characters in them...

There was a Sangeet on Friday night which was like the rehersal dinner.  Lots of delicious Indian food and lots of dancing.  Everyone in my family out on the dance floor.  It was quite a night to remember.

In the morning there was the Baraat procession where my brother rode a horse for the first time in his life.  I thought this was awesome.  And then dancing dancing and more dancing.  Good thing I wore my dancing shoes.  This was followed by a beautiful Hindu ceremony back inside.

At night there was a short Christian ceremony and a reception, which was gorgeous.  And included more dancing.  And some tears from the sister of the groom during the speeches.  

This was my first Indian wedding and it was an amazing weekend.  I have never been to a more beautiful wedding and was the most perfect way to celebrate Neha joining our family.

Congratulations, Matt!

I flew home to the Mitten for the weekend to attend my little little brother Matt's graduation from the University of Michigan.  What a dashing graduate, right?  He is heading to med school this fall (hopefully in my favorite city of Chicago!) 

The day included lots of family + future sister-in-law + girlfriend of the graduate time, plenty of food (hello, Zingerman's) and adult beverages for all, and a trip to The Big House.  However, I usually prefer my visits to Michigan Stadium to also include a crushing of the Wolverines by my Spartans.

Those are my little brothers.  Who are not so little anymore.  And both now stand quite a bit taller than me, as I am wearing high heels.

And because I received a few fashion requests on my survey (thank you very much to everyone who has taken it!!!) here's an IG snapped of my dress.  I look pretty perky (HA) for getting five hours of sleep and having to be ready at 8 am.

A thrift shop find while I was up in Berkeley.  Saved for this special occasion.  And I need to be schooled on my poor fashion blogger poses.  Apparently I think that I can just hide my legs behind each other.
