Post Important Not-So-Flash News Flashes was the marriage ceremony of Pseudo Lil' Miss Sunshine. Pseudo Lil' Miss Sunshine is my cousin sister who is the daughter of one of The High Priestess's sister. We (Hdaran and Pseudo Lil' Miss Sunshine) share the same year of birth.
The following were Pseudo Lil' Miss Sunshine's request from me prior to the event;
#1 Help her with selection of accessories for both her temple wedding ceremony and wedding reception dinner.
#2 Opinions and suggestions on the outfit for her wedding reception dinner.
#3 Do her makeup for the wedding reception dinner.
#4 Choreograph a dance item with the rest of my cousins for her wedding reception dinner.
#5 Assist with anything else that may need assisting prior to and during the events (both the temple ceremony and the reception dinner).
About two weeks before the date I gathered my cousins (including 2 nephews and a niece), 10 strong and sat down to discuss dance items and choreography. And then went on to choreograph and co-ordinate costumes and styling of costumes for the dance. In the midst of that, I also went around the island with her hunting for a set of accessories that perfectly matched her outfit for her wedding reception dinner.
Now, all these mundane details culminated in the excitement that peaked during the dinner.
Pseudo Lil' Miss Sunshine looked gorgeous in her outfit, kudos to me!
About two months before the event, she actually showed me a video of her fiancee's cousins dance which was completed and undergoing perfecting when at that point not even details of ours were decided upon. I promised her of a performance that would top that of her future in-laws.
And, of course, I delivered which, I daresay, blew their minds off!
The performance was in sort of a medley of three dance pieces each lasting 2 to 3 minutes long and each suited perfectly to the age of my cousins/nephews/niece. The three pieces were strung together, one group entering the stage right after the other was done, to result in one big group number.
I always knew I could do this and have, in fact, done better. But none of my relatives have ever witnessed my capabilities because my commercial dance endeavors ended with my BSc. graduation. Back in my home-state, I only ever performed odissi.
And they were awed beyond their wildest expectations. Watching the video later, I heard screams from Pseudo Lil' Miss Sunshine, loud enough to be captured by the video camera! The applauds were tremendous and the praises were abundant!
