It is my Wedding Day.
Hand in hand and Hearts Connected,
Celebrating the joy of being United; going from ‘Me’ to ‘You & Me’, A
Perfect Wedding, it is meant to be.
It is my Wedding Day.
A perfect occasion to commemorate my
love with the special one, to share my joy with my family and friends. A
great excuse to feel ‘oh so special’, to get pampered and to bask in
the limelight. A beautiful way to freeze a few very special moments of
my life, to be later looked at, remembered and relived.
This is how we all dream our weddings
would be. Wedding, hands down, is meant to be the one of the most
important occasions of our life. Each of us has our own hopes and
expectations of that special day. There can be no other event that is
orchestrated in so many varied styles and themes, but in the end is
meant for celebrating the same thing – uniting two hearts and two
families in a life-long bond of caring and sharing. Precisely why it is
one of the most rigorously planned events of all times!
From beach weddings to the more
traditional mandap weddings, there sure is a lot of planning and
organizing that goes into perfectly spelling out the occasion. And of
course, we would all hate to have a single straw out of place on this
day.

Planning a wedding is more of
celebration in itself to us to-be-weds, than being a task. From going
shopping with friends and family, hunting for that perfect venue, to
deciding what features on the menu, it is all an exciting journey that
will be remembered and reminisced.
But we really cannot afford all this to
ruin our hard earned wedding glow! Imagine going around ten wedding
venues and knowing that seven of them are already booked, skimming
through five bridal wear stores and finding out at the end of the day
that none is to our taste. Wouldn’t it be too much of a wasted effort?
The Mantra of ‘enjoying’ your wedding
planning and not ‘enduring’ it is to Plan, plan and plan. This is how I
envision a perfect wedding planning –
1. Make a To-Do list
This includes everything small and big,
from picking out the venue to buying a packet of safety-pins. Do not
leave out anything, however insignificant, since small things might cost
you big on the BIG Day!
2. Sort your requirements & their budgets
Sort the requirements according to their
importance & urgency. Make sure you have clearly spelled out
budgets for each of your requirements. This will help you narrow down
and save you a lot of time & effort!
3. Research and short-list before you venture out
80% of the short-listing has to be done
before you venture out to finalize on each of the items on your to-do
list. Have clear cut idea on what to look for and finalize accordingly.
Do not go unplanned as this might lead to your not finding what you need
and you would end up exhausted, stressed and disappointed.
Of course, there is always your best
friend or your parent to help you with all the work. But here’s a
special someone who has already done most of the job for you. From
giving you information on all the wedding venues, photographers,
caterers, decorators etc. to providing you their contacts and checking
their availability, SayShaadi does it all.
