Amidst all this chaos, while people were stranded on the roads, without access to the outside world since phone lines were down. Weddings still had to happen, i was actually a part of a great wedding. A close friends wedding where she had about 24 guests flying in from london, india, ukraine and brazil. How was this going to actually happen considering the groom and his friends arrived the morning after Benazirs death? Well it happened and it was rockin' the father of the bride was king on this momentous occasion, security was arranged for, guest houses were arranged for transport was looked after and well the booze intake was definitely going to go into overdrive.
We all partied non stop from dusk till dawn, we derived our own pleasurable insanity from the chaotic insanity that was taking place in the outside city. What did the guests have to say? They loved it!! They actually understood that the news is just completely outrageous and just blows things out of proportion as compared to what was truly happening within the country. Yes we sheltered them but come on the city was not as bad as they showed on the foreign news channels. And fox news, im sorry to say has some major racial and religious issues, they just talk utter crap and they should just be pulled off air. We met some great people during this wedding, it was a breath of fresh air, they loved the city, and im hoping they loved the people, we had the mayun, a chaotic and confusing nikkah ceremony, a rocking insane party at a prestigious restraunt which gave a beautiful view of karachi to our guests, than a beautiful mehndi and beautiful shadi. Was everyone in over drive? Hell yeah, everyone was on utter and insane overdrive but trust you me it was well worth it! Oh yeah and if anyone from the outside world is reading this, im taking everyone up on there invitations and will definitely be flying to your locations to party like the madmen us pakistanis are.
Oh yeah and to top it all off, our amazing guests pulled off one of the best choreographed dances i had ever scene heh. they actually made us want to crawl back into the hole we came from. I'm attaching the video on the blog for all eyes to see :)
