Hi from Joyce,
When Shanti told me she was writing an opening story for Volume 13, I agreed to help as well. Because of what happened in Singapore, we both knew this would be more than just an admin story, getting everyone to India. In the end, this story became large enough to be divided into two stories with the same name. Here is my half.
In Australia, we all knew the wedding was on, even before Jeevan and Katrina had left Perth. It had also been confirmed that Jeremy could be David’s best man if he was willing. Of course, Jeremy quickly agreed that he would, even though it meant us travelling to India. Donald and Paula were going too so at least all five of us would travel together.
Later it was decided that David's family would also be attending but they were travelling a separately, a few days later and not staying as long as us. They tried to arrange to stay in a hotel but Sarvesh invited them to stay at his house. David said that would be better than any hotel so they agreed to his kind offer.

I was interested, well you could even say a bit worried, about where we were going and what we would be doing. Jeremy and I had never been overseas and here we were going to some small town, just a dot on the map, in the middle of India. One evening we sat with Donald and Paula and they told us a lot about their trip to visit Amita and Sarvesh. That evening has already been covered in our other stories.
Now we were planning our own trip. First dates were set and airlines booked. It all seemed a long way off, just talking about plans like that, but time rushed by and soon we were in the final countdown for our trip.
