I just came back from visiting my neighbor for what i thought was today's pre-wedding festivities (henna, etc), expecting the bride to show up sometime later tonight.

No her to fit!) -my Turkish skills suck!(I still remember Silmaril and other friends rotfl about this! :-) And I still laugh too, as my Tukish has improved over the years, thanks to Sihirli Annem and Yabanci Damat...Read, Write, Run, Teach !
