I was fortunate enough to be invited as a guest and a photographer to a bridal shower recently. It was a lovely afternoon - the bride to be is beautiful both inside and out; there was fabu Indian food (my fave!) and lots of wonderful ladies.
As a guest I enjoyed myself immensely. As a photographer, I was particularly delighted because women are a fascinating bunch. This was a group of gorgeous and talented women who gave generously of themselves to mark a major milestone in the life of the young bride. The humour, wisdom and love of these ladies was entertaining and very satisfying for the soul - so let's hear it for our mothers, sisters and girlfriends - they are what see us through.

Ranee and Meet thank you for letting me document this happy occasion!
Isn't she just beautiful? I mean check out the cheek bones!
Women - together - don't they look so relaxed? And just downright pretty to look at? I tell you - we are different creatures when there are no menfolk around and we go about our rituals.
Gorgeous!
Can you tell these two are related? Mum is the one above in yellow - they look like sisters! But those eyes! Swim anyone?
I have no idea what these two were talking about - but it doesn't really matter now does it? I love the sheer happiness, the conspiratorial nature of a little gossip and the comfort of old friends.
What a hoot! We went around the room saying how long we had all been married and giving our best advice to the bride to be. This lovely lady had been married for some years and said to just remember "It's my way or the highway!" All in the delivery of course, but just hilarious!
A wise woman here - she stole the show with her advice to have lots of sex. You will indeed have a happy marriage if there is a lot of sex.
Mother-in-law and the bride to be. Ranee has two sons and is now gaining a daughter. It is remarkable how alike they look for not being related. Hasn't it been said that men look for those things they admire about their mother in a wife? Stunning beauty and incredibly intelligent must have been high on the list...
Can you believe this cake? Home made and delicious!
Mmm! Indian food - this made me so happy!
