Imagine you’re taking a stroll on the beach one day and the love of your life decides to get down on one knee and pops the question you’ve been dreaming about.
Congratulations, you’re officially engaged!
Savor the moment because every thought from that moment on will have to your wedding until the big day arrives.
The planning will begin when you wake up the next day (that’s if you can fall asleep with an endless stream of thoughts running through your mind). You’ll be scouring the internet (and pinning) for tips, how-to’s, style inspiration, trends, vendors, etc.
If you’ve ever searched for anything online then you know that there’re literally thousands of websites on any given topic. South Asian wedding is no different.
Google “Indian wedding” or “South Asian wedding” and you’ll get millions of web page results. This of course can be overwhelming and downright frustrating but worry no more.
