    Hey girls!

    So, I've lurked for a few months around the waiting boards, but my boy and I just recently got engaged. We're planning to have a big fat Hindu wedding in Malaysia (where 99% of his family still lives) and then a party/reception back here in the DC area (where we live).  I love reading the bee's adventures, and follow a few other wedding blogs, but I'm having trouble finding bloggers talking about Hindu weddings... I am not familiar with most of the traditions and expectations, etc, and would just love to learn more (without having to bother my FMIL with a thousand questions). Do any of you keep up a blog, or have any suggestions for good reads?  Thanks!! :)

    Not sure if this is against WB rules, but The Knot's South Asian message board is really active and there are a ton of girls on there in intercultural relationships.

    @Sari-Clad Bride did you guys just start up? Thats awesome!

    @phruphru -- I have checked out the knot boards before, but I don't exactly have a specific question, I just like to learn what I can, which is why I was looking for blogs/blog type sites.  I will keep that in mind as a resource though, thanks!

    @mechie, another good planning resource is the South Asian bio, which is put together by a woman who is active on the Knot's South Asian message board: http://krishnaswami08.googlepages.com/southasianbio

    Tons of info on there and lots of photos for inspiration!  And nope, I do not work for the Knot :)

    In addition to maharaniweddings.com, there's another new blog called marigoldsandmithai.blogspot.com.  LOVE them both!

    @Desi Bride: Someone else on the boards introduced me to marigolds and mithai.. I loooooove them!   I see that the Sari-Clad bride link was deleted, they had been promoting themselves on the boards... but still worth a read!
