1) The Honeymoon:
Big Fat Indian weddings are HECTIC. You’ve
hardly had any privacy with your better half. So, what better way to spend some
quality time with him than at the honeymoon before you gets drawn into the
nitty-gritty of the daily routine? Honeymoons are perfect for relaxation, and
after dealing with the inevitable stress of wedding planning, a little
pampering is definitely needed.
2) The post wedding rituals: Indian wedding
celebrations do not end with the Reception; they continue for almost over the entirety
of the first year. These post wedding rituals can be fun and you will get
chance to spend good time with your family.
3) Wearing the Mangalsutra/wedding ring/ sindoor
: Now that you are a “Mrs”, it is indeed fun displaying the Mangalsutra, the
wedding ring and the Sindoor. Hey- you even get to change your name on all
documents (as well as your social media pages) and tick the ‘Married’ box on
official forms!
4) Viewing the Photo album/Wedding DVD together:
While the Smartphone has made it possible to view pictures instantly; it is an
entirely different matter going through the wedding album together. You almost
certainly must have missed many events which you can catch up through the
wedding video CD.
5) Snacking without the guilt: Now that your
D-day is over, you can relax a bit and have all the sugary carbs that you have been
avoiding for getting in shape for the wedding day.
6) Changing your hairstyle: You no longer have
to continue growing your hair (a “traditional must-have” for most Indian brides),
you can change your hairstyle and can experiment your looks in whatever way you
feel like.
7) Opening the presents: It is the perfect
time to open the wedding gifts and even start using some of them.
8) Cooking for him: The way to a man’s heart
is through his stomach. You will look forward to cook all ‘his’ favorite
dishes. Why not cook together, while you are at it?
9) Setting up the home together: It is so much
fun shopping and setting up the home after marriage.
10) Introducing each other as ‘husband’ and ‘wife’:
This is one thing so many new brides (and grooms) look forward to after their
wedding day.
The
wedding celebrations might be over, but the marriage is forever and you will
(and must) certainly celebrate it through the lifetime.
Happy
Married life…
