The Fashion Show

The show took place a day after April fools! Decided not to play tricks this year due to the unfortunate incidents of last year what with the mass text msg that was sent and various incidents in the laboratories etc. Sorry about that by the way … if any of the others do ever this read this. It’s all in the past now… Only a couple more months left of the semester! lol! Anyway the fashion show was sponsored by the local Telegraph and Argus paper and many of the Asian boutiques in Bradford. There was such a good turn out.

The Venue: The Asian Bridal Fashion show at The Hilton Hotel, Bradford
Date and Time: Sunday 2nd April 2006 from 1pm till 5pm, Show began at 3pm!

Despite the fact that I’m not actually getting married I still went and had such a great time. I was accompanied by one of my best mates Meera (who’ll hopefully have wedding bells ringing in the not too distant future, InshAllah) Went round some of the stalls after the show just for a bit of a chat and see what they had to offer. Meera pointed out that most of the people we spoke to assumed I was the bride, which made me highly paranoid! I didn’t point this out to the stall owners as I felt it would be rude so I just went with the flow much to Meera’s amusement. Ended up in a few funny situations and got quite a few discounts, which would be useful if I actually was getting married! I was fortunate enough to take some great pictures (see photo album) and at the beginning of this week I decided to take up some of the offers made by the people on the stalls. I went to some of the boutiques to see the clothes range they had. Ayesha’s collection in particular was really nice and the shop owners were really friendly and helpful. Went to “Dhoom” and again the nice but weird man assumed I was the bride much to my mother’s amusement. Promptly corrected the man before my mum got thinking. Potentially dangerous situation, even more so now that Sana’s leaving!

Got home in the afternoon to find uncle yasin, aunty ann and aishah baji and kids had come over to visit. Aisha baji wanted me to give her directions to whiteabbey road but got confused so I decide it would be easier just to show her. Weather was awful, constantly raining! Baji ended up buying a nice light green suit for the main wedding day and had a golden coloured lengha saved for the mendhi. So that’s most of her clothes sorted for Sana’s wedding. Me as well as the other bridesmaids haven’t been out shopping yet and so as a result have got naff all! How reassuring! Still we have until July!
