Yeh Shaadi.. HOGI!!

Okay so this is it. 10 days before the wedding and nerves are at an all time high. I have been intending to write on this thing called "wedding" or "marriage" for a while now.

First Rule of Weddings : It is not about you

Screw what they told you in the movies, church, while you were growing up. The wedding is NOT about you. No I am not saying that you're presence is not essential or that your views won't count. Its just that weddings become about families getting together and more often than not, there are people with every different personalities who are now put into a social situation.

Second Rule of Weddings: You will fall out of love

Because of rule one, you will have increased fights with your would be.. Yes the love that you once knew will seem distant and you will have the largest doubts. Nevertheless, you will move on- whacking one problem after another as best as you can.

Third Rule : As hard as it may seem - This too shall pass

Forget the dreamy version of your wedding that you had in mind.. you have to learn to make the best of what you have. Yes there will be disappointing, nerve racking days. But in the end - it should seem worth it.
Or so I Hope.
