Weddings, Nikon and Me

I am this sooper lazy girl, who would chose to sit back home in slacks and read books than dress up for a wedding and meet people.

I am highly impatient to wait in a queue to meet the wedding couple and would rather wave them from off-reception-stage and sneak out of the building to the terrace or a nearby calmer place.

I would prefer to drive back home after marking my presence to a handful of them in the crowd at the earliest possible and retire in my slacks.

Oh! and yea.. I never stood with the couple for more than 2 seconds, coz I was too scared of the photographers. God! I so hate posing for pics !!

Weddings, in my mind, have always been an extravagant avoidable affair, which people anyway chose to spend time and energy on.

Slowly into my college, though my idea about weddings remained the same, my perception did change a lil, to some extent.

My cousin's wedding was such a page turner, that I began to like large crowds, celebration and merriment.

I still did not start a shopping spree nor did I start dressing up, but it was just that, relatives/ friends will start finding me at weddings for a reasonable amount of time.

That was when I handled my first Nikon, in the last years of school. It was a Nikon Coolpix L series digital camera, that became my sole reason to attend weddings and ofcourse, the awesome food too !

Later, now, after college, weddings have became more like a ritual coz, it is all my friends getting married in a row. And attendance is more than just mandatory. Luckily, my Nikon had been upgraded twice. I hold a D5100 now and it is increasingly fun.

I have started a lil (comparatively !) on the shopping thing only coz weddings in a row cannot stand a wardrobe repetition, thanks to the same bunch of people I had to face at every event. Even then, dressing up continues to be a nightmare.

Things did change a lot, yet my idea of a wedding still remains the same - extravagant avoidable affair, which people anyway chose to spend time and energy on.

And I am no exception too !
