“Okay, the premiere is on the fifth of December. But before that, you will be doing interviews, mostly online. A few are solo, but most of that stuff is with your castmates. By the way, Val from Indian Paintbrush sent an e-mail, specifically for you. She said…”
A blue bird landed on one of the branches of your red maple tree in your backyard. You watched as it stood there quietly, letting your assistant’s voice from your phone go into the background. The bird probably felt your eyes on him as it turned its small beak in your direction before flying away. Left with no more entertainment, you sighed before turning around. That’s when you see your fiance of almost three weeks placing a cup of coffee and a plate of toast on the patio table.
“Hailey. Schedule.” you mouthed at him while pointing to your phone that you were holding next to your ear.
He nods before signing and then mouthing a word, “Peanut butter?”
You looked at the food he prepared for you before soundlessly replying, “Banana, please.”
Jin smiled and gave you a double thumbs-up before walking back in to get your request. Your attention returns to the call you were in as you sat on your outdoor sofa.
“... and as you requested, I cleared out your schedule for your Seoul trip with Jin,” Hailey said with a proud tone. “Thank God, Fallon’s producers agreed to move your guesting next month. They said yes after I offered them exclusive photos from your trip, just like you said.”
“It’s like a consolation gift.” you chuckled.
Since you were already booked for the Tonight Show a month ago, you knew that it would be a headache for everyone involved when you asked for your guesting to be moved to January. Knowing how the industry works, even though you really hate sharing your personal agendas with everyone, you decided to offer some “exclusive” photos from your trip that Hollywood loves to the show’s producers.
“Anyway, thank you so much for everything, Hailey.”
“Yeah, no problem. Just enjoy your week. Next week will be crazy busy again.” she spoke.
“I know.” you sighed.  “You too! Enjoy your week there in Hawaii.”
Just as you hang up the call, Jin enters again with your bananas. You smiled as you noticed he sliced it already. He sat next to you and almost immediately, you rested on his shoulder, making him wrap his arms around you.
“Busy schedule?” he asked, sensing the exhaustion from you even though it was only eight in the morning.
You snuggled closer to his chest, “I just wish I had more time to plan the wedding.”
“Don’t worry, we still have a lot more time to do that. I can wait for you,” he whispered, kissing the top of your head.
Unlike you, Jin doesn’t have any work commitments left for this year. He already had plans of visiting his extended family back in South Korea for next month so he made sure to empty out his schedule. And since you just got engaged weeks ago, you joined in on his month-long trip, making some surprise changes to your agenda. 
You looked up, “But I can’t. I want to be your wife like right now.”
Jin just laughed at what he thought to be a joke from you. His attention went to the food, spreading peanut butter on your toast. You, on the other hand, scrunched your eyebrows as you watched him. Because you’re not kidding. You want to get married as soon as possible with him. It’s like a switch flipped in your brain ever since that morning after you said yes to his proposal. You are just so happy and excited to marry him. 
When Jin noticed you not laughing, his eyebrows raised, “What?”
“I want to marry you now, I’m not kidding,” you said like you were offended.
“I know. Me too, bub.” he grinned at your pouting lips. Putting down the bread, he held your hand and planted a kiss on it, “Trust me, if I can marry you today, I would.”
Your lips were forming into a smile when– An idea forms in his head.
“We can,” you mumbled, making Jin confusedly look at you. “I mean not today. But we can get married this week. I don’t have anything to do this week since I’m supposedly busy next week. Plus, I have this dress coming from Vivienne Westwood for the premiere. I could wear that.”
“Well, Donny just got ordained online…” Jin whispered.
You two quietly eyed each other, both knowing something was cooking in your heads.
Tumblr media
“Okay, how about you try to make this character your own? I’ll give you five minutes to internalize again.”
Having the urge to roll his eyes, Donny turned his back to the so-called actor someone probably miscast for this series he has been directing. He can feel a headache forming from how plain and bad this young actor says his lines. He sat back on his chair, cooling down. As soon as he opened his phone, he noticed a series of messages sent by his best friend almost an hour ago.

yn and i will be hosting an engagement dinner :))
Tumblr media
“Hi, this is Hailey. I am calling for the bouquet…”
Pressing a powder on your face, you watched Hailey from the background of your mirror walking back and forth while talking to someone on her phone. The tan lines on her shoulders are still visible since she only got back from her vacation less than twelve hours ago. She even wore the same beach dress she wore in Hawaii days ago as she went straight to your house after you informed her about your plans. 
“Do you even have anything? Flowers? Gown? Hair and make-up stuff? How about the venue? The guests?! All that thing!” she panicked through the call.
You pursed your lips, “It’s a very intimate, surprise wedding, Hailey. We just want to get married now and we prefer the smallest counts of guests possible. I’ll be wearing that Westwood dress–”
“Huh? It’s not coming until the day before the premiere night, YN.” she interrupted, sounding annoyed.
“What?” you asked, confused.
“That dress is coming from London and they said they’ll be sending it in December!” she almost screamed, confirming that she was, indeed, annoyed. 
Hailey, at this point, is your eldest sister. She manages everything in your life and always wants the best thing for you. She is more than your assistant and occasional stylist, she is family. So you don’t really mind if she openly lets you know when she gets annoyed about something you’ve done. There were even times you were more scared of her than she ever was to you.
You tried to think of something, “Oh… Okay. I still have that white dress we bought years ago when we–”
“No! No! You’re not going to wear that. I’m contacting someone from Versace. I’m sure we can get you something.”
��Don’t—”
“Yes, I’m not telling them where you would use it. I’ll think of other reasons.”
“It says that they were supposed to arrive thirty minutes ago.”
She looks like she was so close to biting her nails as she talked to the flower shop staff, all while you do your make-up. Still, in your comfiest pink robe with your gown underneath, you gently swiped your favorite shade of lip stain on your lips. Then, your make-up is done! You didn’t really put much effort, only doing a natural look rather than your common red carpet look. Hailey helped you earlier with creating soft curls for your hair. 
And for your dress, you still ended up with a white one. Of course, Versace. Hours after Hailey contacted them for your “private dinner” event, they sent three options for you to choose from. You picked out the white, shimmery gown Amal Clooney wore one time. It is a bridal gown with spaghetti straps and a full, sweeping train. It is sparkly and perfect for the ambiance of your backyard, where you will be holding the wedding.
“No, I asked for–”
Hailey was cut off when someone knocked on your home office’s (made into a prep room for you) door. She was the one who opened the door as she was closer to the door.
“Oh, you arrived!” she said before you could see who she was talking to.
Then, a familiar man popped his head in. Your heart jumped, making you stand up even though you were careful with your gown. 
“Dad!”
Tumblr media
“Oh my god. How are you feeling?”
Jin wanted to say he was cool. But with his sweaty palms and racing heart, he knew he was more than cool. Just a little nervous and a lot more excited. Just a month ago, he was learning to cook the Marry Me chicken recipe and now, you two will be tying the knot in less than an hour. He can feel butterflies in his stomach just by thinking what you would look like. He hasn’t seen you after breakfast today. Hailey and Donny insist that it’s a tradition, something for fun. You were laughing as your assistant pulled you away from him while you were still kissing him. Since you two were in the same house, you have been kept in your office for hours now.
“You don’t have to answer that. Your smile says everything.” Donny interrupted his thoughts. ‘Thank you for making me a big part of this, man. I really appreciate it.”
Instead of their usual cool guy handshake, Jin and his best man (and friend and wedding officiator) shared a tight hug. He can feel how happy Donny is for him just by the short hug.
‘Thank you for flying from SoCal for this dinner.” Jin laughed.
‘I was so confused why you wanted me to dress so nicely for dinner!” Donny explained, laughing too.
It was in the middle of their laughter when they heard the doorbell ring. Knowing it’s probably one of the very few guests you two invited, Jin opened the door. He was right.
“Oh, aren’t you a fine groom?” your dad opened his arms as soon as Jin saw him. “Congratulations.”
“Thank you so much, sir.”
“Ah, you can call me Dad.” he corrects him.
Jin smiled wider before hugging your stepmother too. Your father and Helen, his wife came from Iowa since that was where he retired years ago before reuniting with you. It is no secret to everyone who knows you that you had a distant relationship with your dad, especially after the whole emancipation thing. But he reached out to you around the same time you and Jin worked for Cornelia Street. Since then, you and your dad have been catching up from time to time. That’s why Jin flew to your dad’s farmhouse in Iowa months ago to let him know about his plans to propose to you.
“You know, I didn’t expect this wedding to happen this soon.”  Helen quipped as they entered. “Where’s the bride?”
“Oh, she’s in her office. I haven’t seen her since this morning,” he told them, almost sounding like a kid complaining.
“Stop whining. The wedding will start in like thirty minutes.” Donny said, making the older people laugh.
Then, they walked to the stairs up your office, leaving Jin and Donny alone again. The two decided to go to the backyard, where the fairy lights were lit up while there were white roses arranged in two lines on the sides of the small pathway for you later. The wooden chairs for the guests are the same chairs on the dining table inside the house but Hailey made sure to make it a little special with names, ribbons, and flowers on it. To ensure the privacy of your special day, you only have six guests in total: Hailey, Donny, your dad, Helen, Jin’s mom, stepdad, and dad. The latter three are still on their way. Considering his dad is in South Korea, Jin assured him that he understands if he cannot come with the sudden event. But his dad promised that he would come.
Tumblr media
“Okay, just stand there.”
Minutes later, Hailey is instructing Jin where to stand. Donny is already next to him. Helen and Jin’s parents are already sitting in their seats. A good instrumental of love songs plays in the background with a Bluetooth speaker Hailey prepared. Jin cannot help but feel giddy. He knew you were already waiting for your best friend’s instructions to walk down this flowery aisle, along with your dad next to you.
“You look beautiful, honey.” your dad whispered next to you.”Exactly like your mother.”
That is the greatest compliment for you. Your mother was the most wonderful person in your head and to be compared to her always warms your heart. And to hear it from your father makes your lips quiver like a little kid.
You turned your head at him, smiling while feeling a burn of tears at the edge of your eyes, “Thank you, Dad.”
His lips were shaking like he was trying not to get too emotional. Instead, he offered you a smile and held your hand that was snaked on his arm.
“I’ll play the song and you will slowly walk out, okay? Just take your time.” Hailey comes in again.
You nodded, “Okay, ma’am.”
You see her shoulders tensing down as you say that. She chuckles.
“Now, can you just sit down? I want the world’s best assistant and my best friend to see me walking there,” you told her and her eyes instantly glistened.
“Okay.” she smiled after looking at you for a few more seconds. 
You wanted to hug her but you knew you two would just bawl out your eyes and ruin the whole thing if you did. So without saying any other words, Hailey heads out. A few seconds later, you hear a familiar melody. So This Is Love from Cinderella. You and your dad took it as a signal to take a few steps together until you reached the backyard.
And there, he sees you. Finally.
Everything felt calm as you walk down the aisle. Instead of beating faster, his heart slows down and all he can see is you. Your eyes were all watery before you could even reach the middle of the aisle, where your father would leave you so can have your own moment. He placed a kiss on your cheek before letting you go. You looked back at Jin and a single tear had already slipped down his cheek. You don’t know but you smiled and chuckled as you walked closer, crying happy tears yourself. He chuckled too.
You are an angel in his eyes. As you stepped closer to him, he remembered the first night he saw you. Smiling, handing him a TicTac and telling him a story. He just remembered losing himself in your voice and beauty. Butterflies were playing around his stomach just like now. He hoped that it would not be the last time he saw you.
The song’s volume in the background lowered down as you stood in front of Jin. Everyone who is witness to this wonderful night can feel the love and adoration you two hold for each other.
Donny began, “We gather here today to celebrate the love of two wonderful human beings, YN and Jin. You have come to this beautiful place to witness the formal commitment they will make for each other, allowing YN and Jin to begin this new chapter of their life together with the people they truly trust, and love the most. Welcome and thank you for your presence here tonight. And please, no taking pictures– except you, Hailey, of course.’
Everyone laughed at his joke. Hailey, being the best person, also has a camera with her to take candid snaps.
“Now, as we all know, YN and Jin are a little bit in a rush to get married so I’ll keep this short.” you and Jin laughed as Donny continued, “As a longtime spectator of their amazing love story, all I can say is they are truly meant for one another. They are a perfect pairing as they balance each other so well. They work together perfectly not just in their great movies, but also in their relationship. And I believe, their effort and patience to make this relationship work in the middle of their busy lives is what leads us to this moment.”
“I always felt lucky to be friends with both of you two, being able to witness your story like no one else does. No amount of articles or movie scenes can ever encapsulate the passion you two have for each other. The way you care and protect each other amidst crazy rumors and hard times is truly powerful. Jin, you are the only one who can make YN smile throughout an exhausting day. And YN, you are the only one who can laugh at my best friend’s corny dad jokes.” 
Jin glared at his best friend while everyone, including you, laughed. You broke his glare as you softly held his cheek to make him look back at you.
“With that, I wish for them to spend their lifetime as one. I wish for their marriage to be filled with moments of joy, contentment, and love. I hope that they continue to make each other laugh, smile, and believe in love as they make the whole world do.”
Jin squeezed your hand, making you smile even more.
“So, without further ado… YN, do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect him, forsaking all others, and holding only unto him forever?”
“I do,” you replied with no hesitation, looking deeply at your soon-to-be husband.
“Jin, do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect her, forsaking all others, and holding only unto her forever?”
His lips quirked, “I do.”
Donny smiled widely, “Now, please bring out the rings.”
Jin followed since he was the one who kept the rings you picked days ago, in which Donny picked up at the store on his way here.
“Please place the ring on each other’s left hand and repeat after me:” Donny said. “I, YN/JIN, take you above all else, to be my wife/husband, forevermore.”
You and Jin repeated everything not removing your gaze on one another. You felt the gold ring slip in one of your fingers after that. You have never felt joy pumps in your system.
“And now by the power vested in me by the internet, it is my honor and delight to declare you married. Go forth and live each day to the fullest. You may seal this declaration with a kiss.” 
Donny and the guests clapped while standing up. Jin gently held both of your cheeks while he leaned closer to you. You closed your eyes as you felt his soft lips on yours. Fireworks set off inside you. You kissed him, feeling the soft skin of his cheeks on your fingertips, inhaling his calming scent. He kissed you back, running his hand back to your waist, squeezing it for a short second before pulling away. You two opened your eyes. You were the first one to speak,
“I’m so lucky to have you. I love you.”
He kissed you once again, “I love you too."

The Art of Gifting: Creative Ideas for Indian Return Gift Bags
Tumblr media
Gifting is an art that transcends cultures, and in India, it holds a special place in our hearts. Whether it's a wedding, birthday, or festival celebration, the joy of giving extends beyond just the gift itself. It’s about expressing gratitude and sharing love with those who matter most. One of the best ways to encapsulate this spirit is through return gifts. Indian return gift bags have become increasingly popular as they offer thoughtful tokens of appreciation that guests can cherish long after the event. But what makes these bags truly memorable? It's all about creativity! With a little imagination and effort, you can curate unique themed return gift bags that reflect your personality or event's essence. From personalized items to DIY projects that are light on your wallet yet heavy on sentimentality—there’s something for every occasion and budget. Let’s explore some creative ideas to elevate your gifting game!
Themed Return Gift Bags for Different Occasions
Themed return gift bags can transform any occasion into a memorable experience. They allow you to tailor your gifts to match the vibe of the event. For weddings, consider elegant bags filled with personalized coasters, scented candles, or mini photo frames. Guests will appreciate these thoughtful keepsakes that remind them of the special day. Birthday parties offer endless possibilities! For children’s celebrations, fun themes like dinosaurs or unicorns could feature colorful stationery sets and themed snacks. Adults may enjoy gourmet treats paired with quirky drinkware related to their hobbies. During festivals like Diwali or Holi, incorporate traditional items—think decorative diyas and vibrant color powders in eco-friendly pouches. This approach not only honors cultural significance but also delights recipients. When it comes to baby showers or anniversaries, soft pastels and romantic designs can make sweet memories tangible through lovingly curated gifts. The key is to reflect the spirit of each occasion uniquely!
Personalized Return Gifts: Adding a Special Touch
Personalized return gifts can transform an ordinary gesture into something truly memorable. When you incorporate a personal touch, it speaks volumes about the effort and thoughtfulness behind your gifting. Consider customized items that reflect the recipient’s personality or interests. Monogrammed tote bags, engraved keychains, or even photo frames with cherished memories add a unique flair. Such gifts resonate deeply as they feel tailored just for them. Another great option is personalized stationery sets. These not only serve practical purposes but also convey a sense of intimacy and care. Imagine gifting someone their own set of beautifully designed notepads featuring their name or a favorite quote! The beauty of personalized return gift bags lies in their versatility. Whether it's for weddings, birthdays, or festivals, these gifts enhance the experience and create lasting impressions among your guests.
DIY Return Gift Ideas for Budget-Friendly Options
DIY return gifts can be a fun and budget-friendly way to show your appreciation. They allow for creativity and personal touches that store-bought items often lack. Consider crafting small handmade notebooks or decorative photo frames filled with memories from the event. Both are thoughtful, yet easy to create. Another idea is to make personalized candles using simple molds. You can choose scents that resonate with your guests, offering them a unique experience they’ll cherish long after the occasion ends. If you're feeling adventurous, how about assembling small potted plants? These not only beautify spaces but also symbolize growth and friendship. Adding custom tags or messages can elevate these gifts even further. A sweet touch could be homemade treats like cookies or jams in cute jars adorned with ribbons and labels made by you. Such gestures leave lasting impressions without breaking the bank. These DIY projects serve as more than just gifts; they become heartfelt tokens of gratitude that embody thoughtfulness and care. Embrace your inner crafter, tap into your creativity, and enjoy the process while creating memorable experiences for both you and your guests through Indian return gift bags!

Quantity: Order enough return gifts to accommodate all of your guests, ensuring everyone receives a thoughtful memento of your special day.
2. Cultural Sensitivity
Consider Guest Preferences: Take into account the cultural preferences and sensibilities of your guests when choosing return gifts. Consider gifts that are appropriate for their age, background, and religious beliefs.
Dietary Restrictions: Be mindful of dietary restrictions or allergies among your guests when selecting edible return gifts, offering alternative options for those with specific needs.
3. Presentation and Packaging
Elegant Packaging: Present your return gifts in elegant and visually appealing packaging that complements your wedding theme and style. Choose boxes, pouches, or bags that are aesthetically pleasing and reflect the cultural elements of your wedding.

Understanding the Sikh Wedding Ceremony
The term "Anand Karaj" translates to "blissful union." It is a sacred ceremony that takes place in a Gurdwara (Sikh temple) and is conducted in the presence of the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism. The ceremony is marked by simplicity, spiritual depth, and a focus on the couple's commitment to each other and to God.
Key Components of the Ceremony
The Guru Granth Sahib: Central to the ceremony, the Guru Granth Sahib is carried in a procession and placed on a raised platform. Ardas: A prayer that is recited to invoke God's blessings.
Laavaan: Four hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib that are sung while the couple walks around the scripture, symbolizing their journey together.
Karah Prasad: A sweet offering made to the congregation, symbolizing equality and shared blessings.
Pre-Wedding Rituals
Roka and Thaka
The Roka and Thaka ceremonies are preliminary rituals where the families of the bride and groom meet and exchange gifts. This event marks the official announcement of the couple's engagement and the beginning of the wedding preparations.
Kurmai: The Engagement Kurmai, or the engagement ceremony, is typically held at the groom's home or a Gurdwara. The groom is given a kara (steel bracelet) and a kada (iron ring) by the bride's family, symbolizing his commitment. In return, the groom's family gifts the bride with jewelry and clothes.

Sangeet

Planning the Wedding Day
Venue Selection

Invitations

Bride: The bride traditionally wears a red or pink lehenga (skirt and blouse) or a salwar kameez (tunic and trousers) adorned with intricate embroidery and beadwork. She also wears a dupatta (scarf) over her head as a sign of respect.
Groom: The groom typically dons a sherwani (long coat) paired with churidar (fitted trousers) and a turban. He may also carry a ceremonial sword known as a kirpan.

Communicate with Your Partner
Planning a wedding can be stressful, but it’s important to communicate openly with your partner. Make decisions together and support each other throughout the process.
Enjoy the Process
Amidst the planning and preparations, don’t forget to enjoy the journey. This is a special time in your life, and it’s important to savor every moment.
Conclusion
