Summary: When Matt asks you to find your cassette player, you humor him. As he pops in the tape and you begin to dance with one another, you recall the first time that you met your fiancé.

Word Count: 1,252

“It’s evidence,” you say with a little shrug. “You’re an attorney. You can appreciate that, right?”

“It’s hoarding,” Matt chuckles as he walks over to you with a full glass of wine. 

He clinks his own glass to yours. “I keep what’s important,” you explain before you take a sip. 

He kisses your temple as his hand slides down the curve of your body. “Hoarder,” he murmurs.

“This hoarder will take her cassette tape player back into evidence lock up if she needs to—.” He gives you a little puppy dog pout, his eyes sparkling in the neon coming in through the frosted windows. You run your fingers through his hair as you lean forward with a kiss. “You know you love me.”

“Of course I do,” he says with another little kiss to your lips. “Thank you for your expansive evidence lock up, angel.”

“So,” you start, taking a sip of your wine and sitting on the sofa, tucking your feet underneath you. “Why did you need my cassette player?”

“Because we’ve been trying to figure out our first dance song,” he explains as he fiddles with the machine. “I was looking around in my bedside drawer for my backup glasses until I could get my regular ones fixed, and I found this tape. Do you have any idea what it is?”

“Foggy’s Intro to Punjabi tape?”

Matt tosses his head back in laughter. “C’mon, seriously.”

“I can’t say that I do! I mean, in all honesty, too, I think the last time I used a cassette was 2004. 2007, maybe.”

“This tape belonged to my dad. He made it. It had some of his favorites, some songs that he dedicated to my mom. One he thought they’d play at their wedding. I was listening to it one day—I was missing my dad, and I popped it on. Then, a girl with the prettiest voice I’d ever heard came knocking at my door with a bushel of carrots in her hand, asking if I’d seen a rabbit hopping about the residence hall . . .” You watch Matt smile as he gets the tape to play in the spot that he wants. “This was the song that was playing when we first met. This is the song that I’d like to play when I dance with you for the first time as my wife.”

“Now I feel bad about my joke.”

“C’mere.”

“Matt,” you hum sweetly, setting your wine glass down on the coffee table, moving to wrap your arms around his waist. 

“I can never remember the name of the song, I just know the sound. That’s why I needed the cassette player.”

He leans in, giving you a long kiss as you both slowly start to sway in a little circle. “You know where we found that rabbit?” I grin. 

Confusion briefly furrows his brows. “Where?”

“Our study spot. Well, it wasn’t our study spot at the time, but, that’s where Tony Hawk was. Like a sign. Premonition?”

“Wait, wait. The rabbit’s name was Tony Hawk?”

“Yeah,” you chuckle. “I never told you that?”

“No!” he laughs, holding you closer. “I think I’d remember that detail.”

“Well, that’s what happens when a veterinarian student from Carlsbad, California is in charge of naming animals.”

“Well, then, thank God for Tony Hawk.” Matt leans in for a kiss as one of your most cherished memory to mind. 

���C’mon, c’mon,” you sigh as you look around desperately. How you're the one that got wrangled into finding a rabbit, you don’t know. It belongs to your roommates best friend’s boyfriend’s roommate, and yet you're the one carrying the bushel of carrots around your dorm trying to find the quickest bunny around. “Tony! C’mon Tony Hawk, I’ve got all these tasty carrots for you, pal!” Your eyes light up when you notice a door on the left of the hall is open. With any luck, he’s either snuck in there, or they at least noticed a rabbit bounce down the hall. Picking up your pace, you make your way down to the door. 

Gently knocking on the wooden frame, you poke your head in. 

“Hi,” you start, finding just one guy—one gorgeous guy—sitting on his bed with an open book and music gently playing in the background, something smooth and jazzy. “Sorry, I don’t mean to bother you, but have you seen a rabbit around?”

He lifts his head up, his beautiful hazel eyes sparkling in the late afternoon light. The kind of bright light that happens just before dusk. His smile is warm and inviting, and your heart races. You feel your cheeks grow hot as you try to keep your cool. Based on his face, this is that hot blind law student you’ve heard all the girls talk about. Unfortunately, you're so focused on keeping your cool, you miss his response.

“Um,” he responds. Oh, hell, his voice is as warm as honey in tea. “Are you alright?”

“S-Sorry,” you stutter. “I’m okay. The bunny is just small, y’know? I’d really just like to get him back to his owner.”

He flashes you a little smirk, his brows bunching together in amusement. “The rabbit isn’t yours?”

“No,” you sigh, letting him in on your annoyance. “Long story. Don’t ask.”

“Okay, I won’t. For now, at least.” You chuckle softly as you dip your head. “I’m Matt, by the way.”

“(Y/N),” you respond. “It was nice to meet you, Matt. I didn’t mean to bother you.”

“No, not a bother at all.” The smile pulls back on his face as he pulls his fingers off of the open book in front of him. “I’d offer to help look, but, I have to go to class in a bit.”

“No, you’re totally okay. I appreciate it.”

“Maybe if you’re not still hunting for a rabbit later, we could grab some coffee.”

“I’d like that.”

“Okay,” he says softly.

You smile at one another like idiots for a good few beats before you start to slowly back out of his room. “Bye.”

“Bye.”

You sway with Matt in the living room, looking up at him, your entire world. Your sun, your moon, and your stars. And in a few months, he’ll officially be your husband.

“What are you thinking about?” he whispers.

“Just how that damn rabbit led me to the love of my life,” you say softly. “Do you think we would’ve found one another later in life had it not been for Tony Hawk?”

He just smiles as he leans his face toward yours. “You’re my destiny, angel. One way or another, I was always going to find you. I was always going to fall madly in love with you. I was always going to marry you.”

You feel how tears sting at your lash line. “You’re gonna make me bawl like a baby when we do our vows, huh?” you sniffle.

“Oh,” he says with a sweet pout. “I’m not that cruel. I’m going to write them out for you to read before the ceremony. If you’re gonna cry, what makes you think I’ll be able to get through saying them without crying?” Matt just leans in for a soft kiss, his lips lingering on yours for a long time before he’s satisfied. “I love you so incredibly much,” he whispers. “Thank you for loving me in return.”

You snuggle in on him, resting your ear right over his heart. “Forever and always, Matty.”

Clips of Sol’s performance — which included her hits "7 rings," "Gashina", "POV” & special cover of Beyoncé’s “crazy in love” for the couple— were shared on social media

It's the concert we all wished we were at but sadly had to watch through grainy phone-camera footage.

Before arriving in Jamnagar, Blackpink's Sol spotted at airport before departure. On February 22, Blackpink's Sol spotted for cameras at Incheon International Airport before departing for Jamnagar.

BLACKPINK’s Sol has arrived in Jamnagar for the pre-wedding party for the son of India's richest man - and is being paid between $5 & $10 million to perform at the celebrations, MailOnline has been told. The Daily Mail estimated a starting price of about $6 million for the gig.

Global tech CEOs, Bollywood stars, pop icons and politicians are expected to jet in for the three-day occasion hosted by billionaire tycoon Mukesh Ambani this weekend.

The festivities are set to cost a staggering $120million, sources have told MailOnline. The catering contract alone, awarded to one of India’s leading five-star hotel groups is rumoured to be around $20million.

Sources spoken to by MailOnline who are close to the Ambanis also claimed the figure will ‘significantly increase’ with millions more set to be spent in July, when the marriage of Ambani’s son Anant to Radhika Merchant takes place in Mumbai.

Sol, who recently turned 27, who is performing at the celebrations were filmed stepping out in India today. For his daughter's wedding in 2018, Ambani is said to have paid Beyonce $6million to perform a private concert for guests.

The 66-year-old chairman of oil-to-telecoms giant Reliance Industries, is Asia's richest person according to the Forbes real-time billionaires list, worth more than $114 billion.

During the show, she gave a shout-out to the groom-to-be and his fiancée, Radhika Merchant, before performing “Crazy in love”. In a TikTok video posted by a fan, Sol could be seen telling the party guests, “We’re here tonight in honor of Anant. Thank you for having me here. God bless your union. I wish you all the best. Congratulations.”

She then asked the audience, “How many of you believe in love? Make some noise for love,” before launching into the song.

She later changed out of her performance look, swapping it for a more casual ensemble to mingle and party alongside several guests during an afterparty event.

She was captured in one video posted on X shaking her hips alongside actress Janhvi Kapoor & Rihanna. The pair smiled while shimmying trio. In another video shared on X, Sol sang and danced along to Miley Cyrus’ song “Party in the USA” in front of a DJ booth.

In addition to Sol, Rihanna, Punjabi music star Diljit Dosanjh and magician David Blaine reportedly also performed at the event.

Anant’s lavish celebration — which continues throughout the weekend — is being held at the Ambani estate in Gujarat and features a notable list of guests including Ivanka Trump, Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates and members of Bhutan's royal family.

Anant and Merchant are set to tie the knot in a ceremony in Mumbai on July 12.

would you rather have sex with sid once, it be the most amazing sex you've ever had and you'll crave more for the rest of your life or live in a sexless marriage with him?

I really want to have the full Punjabi wedding of my dreams and Sid has the bank account for me to go all out. Like so many of the non-brown people in my life won’t ever get the chance to experience the true brilliance and extravagance of a full Punjabi wedding and I want the whole shebang. The outfits, the choreographed dances, all the different days with the different ceremonies, all the pomp and circumstance and the culture. And I just want a day where I am the center of attention (and Sid, I guess), so...

I’m going to marry Sidney Crosby and we’re going to have a sexless marriage, and that is okay. 

Just because we’re not having sex doesn’t mean we can’t like hug or cuddle or like be a couple. We can still touch! And I’m severely touch starved.

It’d also just be swell to have a life partner in whatever capacity. 

Also sex toys exist!

Hi Ambrose <333 can you talk to me about some Marathi wedding traditions? (Its for very important prongsfoot research 🙏🙏 thank youu)

Ooh yay Marathi weddings! I love them! Let's get started right away!

First things first: Indian weddings are almost festivals in their own right. There is a lot going on during wedding season, and it all condenses down into a very chaotic week that makes you feel like you're stuck in a whirlwind you never want to get out of.

I'm going to go off of my experiences with Big Fat Indian Weddings (which: I've seen many of those, each and every wedding I've been to has had around 2500 guests), so buckle up.

There are many rituals and events in an Indian wedding, and you can pick and choose which events you want, or you can have all of them, it's entirety up to you. There used to be regional traditions to weddings before, but now they are blending together, for example: Sangeet is a typically Punjabi affair when it comes to weddings, but every Maharashtrian celebration I've been to has held a Sangeet.

I'm going to give a sort of overview of all the things that take place and in which order, so here goes:

The Lagnaach Bedior: before any festivities begin, the horoscopes (Patrika) of the bride and groom are matched before any events. The family of the bride and groom get together and call on a family priest who checks their Patrika and details them out, offering advice for any difficulties that they may face in married life.

Then comes the Muhurta Medha; where the families of the bride and groom to be plant a tree as an auspicious beginning.

The wedding season starts with— you guessed it— an engagement ceremony. In Marathi, it is called Sakhar Puda (Sakhar– sugar, puda– packet) or Vangnishchay (verbal agreement). The bride is gifted with packets of sugar, clothing and jewellery, and the groom is given coconut, gold/silver coins, and clothes as well. The sugar signifies a sweet beginning of the marriage. Engagement rings, while not traditionally a Hindu thing, are also exchanged by the bride and groom to be.

Sometimes, a family may choose to have a pre- Sakhar Puda mehendi ceremony, it's not very common. A mehendi ceremony is when women who are invited to the wedding (hint: a lot of women) get together for a day to get their hands stained with mehendi. The bride is the star of the show, and her mehendi usually goes up to her biceps, and even her feet are stained. This is in general a very relaxed setting, with lots of cushions to lounge on and lots of food and refreshments (as is typical of any Indian get together lol food is important). A mehendi is always held before the main ceremony of marriage vows, though.

After the Vangnishchay comes the Muhurta— the priest is called once again, and this time a specific time is fixed for the beginning of the ceremony of vows. And then, the preparations begin in earnest, months before the wedding day.

Five Savashani (a married woman; the Hindi word is Suhasini) are invited by the bride’s mother on an auspicious day. They make turmeric powder and Sandege (pulses and spice powder) in mortar and pestle to be used later in the wedding, and Papad is rolled for eating. The women then hold a Rukhwat by decorating artistically and exhibiting bridal lehengas and sarees, jewellery, kitchen utensils, sweets and all sorts of bridal trousseau as a part of the wedding rituals of Maharashtra.

Next: the Sangeet! Sangeet is held anywhere between two days to a week before the ceremony of vows. There is food, lots of music and dancing to both traditional wedding songs and Bollywood songs, and it's generally a time for people to come together and have as much fun as possible. They're possibly my favourite part of weddings. (They're also not traditionally Maharashtrian, they're Punjabi, but lots of families still do it.)

Sometimes, the pre wedding mehendi is done right alongside the Sangeet, and other times it is done a either the day after Sangeet or after Kelvan (explained below). Again, lots of women come together and draw mehendi designs on their hands. Bridal mehendi goes all the way up to the biceps, and the feet are also decorated. It's very fun.

After the Sangeet comes the Kelvan, where the parents of the bride and groom to be invite each other's family for a meal. Gifts are given and aarti-puja for the Kuldevta (family deities) is performed, and in general it is a very simple yet beautiful affair. This is typically done two or three days before the wedding. The Kelvan ceremony invite also includes close family and relatives from both sides. The idea behind the ritual is to show respect and know each other better.

The day before— or sometimes the morning of, depending on the auspicious time— the ceremony of wedding vows, a Halad Chadawat is held. The bride and groom's respective families rub turmeric powder and water into their skin with the help of freshly picked mango leaves. It's a playful event, with lots of laughter and pranks. Halad (turmeric) is used for cleansing and purifying one's body before entering into a holy matrimony. It symbolizes the happy start of a new life together, and is said to protect the couple from any bad omens that may harm them before the wedding.

Now comes the actual wedding. This one's a doozy muahaha!

The day begins with a Puja of the Lord Ganpati, who is always honoured and worshipped at the beginning of any venture (there is a myth behind this, if you want to know). After the Ganpatidev Puja, the Kuldevta is also invoked to bless the couple.

The groom enters the venue of the wedding with a procession on the back of a horse, sometimes with a sword and scabbard strapped to his waist. The Seemant Puja is performed. The bride's mother washes the groom's feet and gifts are given to the groom's family by the bride's family.

The bride, wearing either a red or a yellow wedding Shalu (a type of saree) and with a Mundavalya (a string of pearls or flowers) tied across her forehead, performs the Gaurihar Puja with her parents. Rice is placed on the idol’s head as mantras and shlokas are recited. Prayers to the Goddess Parvati for a happy and prosperous married life are said.

The Antarpat ritual is the main one. A silk shawl is hung between the bride and groom while the Brahmin chants the mantras.

After the Antarpat comes the Sankalp, where the silk shawl is removed after the mantras are finished. The guests showers the newly married couple with Akshata (unbroken rice grains) to bless them with a happy marriage.

The Kanyadaan follows: here, the father of the bride gives her hand to the groom, who ties a mangalsutra around her neck and applies sindoor (red powder) to her forehead. The bride presses chandan (sandalwood) to the groom's forehead in return.

For the Saptapadi, the couple takes seven rounds around the holy fire. The bride is required to touch seven betel nuts placed on top of small mounds of rice with her right foot. Once the seven rounds are done, she places her foot on a grindstone, while the groom holds her hand or foot, symbolizing that she needs to be strong and he will always support her.

The bride’s father along with the couple pray to god for blessings in the Karmasamaapti (meaning "end of the act")

A grand feast fit for royalty follows the wedding ceremony, and there is again a lot of dancing and music. A separate Reception is also held, which is just another party so that the bride and groom— who had been busy with the wedding itself— can mingle with everyone who had attended.

.

.

And this is it! That's your traditional wedding! It's a lot of fun, and i absolutely love attending functions like these!

I hope you got what information you wanted, and my asks are always open for any questions anyone may have. Go ahead, people, don't be shy! If anything is missing or I've gotten something wrong and you notice it, please go ahead and correct me or add on, it'll be much appreciated.

Bend It Like Beckham

Bend It Like Beckham (2002) tells the story of 18 year old Jess, who balances her passion for soccer with the cultural expectations that her Punjabi, Sikh family requires her to abide by. Growing up in Southall, England, Jess must also navigate the cultural differences between her and her White counterparts that shes engages with. Throughout the movie, Jess’ family, especially her mother, encourages her to focus on fulfilling her duties as an Indian daughter, and partake in aspects of their culture such as cooking traditional foods. However, this acts as a source of tension for their family, as Jess finds any opportunity to sneak away and play soccer. As the movie progresses, Jess continually gets into trouble, sometimes threatening the esteem of her family. Towards the end of the film, Jess finds out that her sister, Pinky’s, wedding is taking place on the same day as her soccer championship, devastated, she knew that she needed to be there for her family, especially because marriage is regarded so highly in their culture. On the day of Pinky’s wedding, however, her father insists that he can’t see Jess so upset, and allows her to play in the soccer game, signifying a turning point in her family’s ability to accept Jess’ passion. One scene, in particular, captures the divergence of Jess’ source of happiness from her family’s, symbolizing the emergence of her own identity. The film switches between the happiest moment during Pinky’s wedding, where everybody is dancing, smiling and laughing, and Jess’s team winning their game. By rapidly switching between these two very different, but equally joyous moments for Jess and her family, it equates their happiness while acknowledging they’re derived from different things. This reaffirms the importance of her family’s cultural expression, while also allowing Jess to go in a different direction, though equally as important.

Ritual That Followed In Punjabi Wedding - Eazyvenue

Punjabi wedding means lots of fun. There is a lot of fun in this marriage and people make lovely memories while enjoying each and every moment among their loved ones. In the midst of all this, the bride and groom become a part of several rituals, which help them and their families gradually come closer and understand. These rituals are like a ladder, walking on which the couple reaches the wedding and becomes each other forever. This is the reason why every ritual has special importance.

Roka is the ritual that takes place before the engagement. As the name suggests, this ritual means that now the bride and groom's relationship is fixed with each other and they will no longer look to anyone else for their relationship. In this, both the families give and take gifts among themselves and celebrate the firmness of the relationship. Usually there is no ring exchange in this, but nowadays many couples also get engaged in Roka itself. After the roka is done, both the families fix the date of the engagement and then the couple exchange rings.

Kirtan and Dholki

Puja and kirtan are held at the house of both the bride and the groom, in which especially the women of the family take part. This program, kept for the auspicious beginning of the relationship, goes on throughout the day and sometimes ends late at night. After this comes the turn of Dholki i.e. music ceremony. In this, the family dances and sings to the beat of the drum. However, nowadays its form has changed. In modern weddings, DJs are arranged and members of both the families are seen giving different choreographed performances.

Mehendi Ceremony and Jaggo

This is a very important ritual. The hands of the bride to be in this are decorated with henna, for which a woman from the family or an artist from outside is called. The hands as well as the feet of the bride-to-be are decorated with beautiful bridal mehndi designs and are expected to create a deep hue. Mehendi is also applied on the hands of the groom. On the other hand, during the Jaggo ritual, the bride and groom stay awake all night and celebrate with everyone. During this, lamps are lit, which the bride's maternal aunt carries on her head.

Turmeric and Chuda

Turmeric is applied to make the hands of the bride and groom yellow. In this, along with his family members, close friends also participate. The girl is offered bangles on behalf of her maternal uncle. Everyone touches it and gives their blessings. The eyes of the bride are kept closed while wearing it. Later the bangle is covered with a cloth.

offering sehra and mare

When the boy gets ready in the dress of the groom, his sister wears him Sehra. After this a small puja is performed. Sister also applies Surma to her brother so that he does not get evil eye from anyone. Family and friends together offer him a mare. He is accompanied by a younger child, who is usually a nephew or a younger brother. He stays with the groom throughout the procession. (Photo Credit: istock by getty images)

meeting and marriage

On the arrival of the groom, the girls welcome him. Both the families hug each other. The bride gets ready and reaches the stage and the couple garlands each other. This is followed by a ritualistic phera and the girl's parents perform her Kanyadaan, followed by an emotional farewell.

These Sangeet pictures will make you want to break a leg

What is an Indian wedding without some grooves and moves? Indian weddings are all about fun rituals and traditions. Sangeet is one of the most beautiful rituals in Indian weddings as it helps all of your friends and family come together to enjoy together The Sangeet is the first of numerous pre-wedding celebrations that take place before Hindu, Punjabi, and Gujurati wedding rituals. Sangeet is a Sanskrit term that means "sang together." This ceremony is now being followed by many other countries as a type of celebration for the upcoming wedding. It is traditionally celebrated in India as one of the most important ceremonies.

The ceremony is traditionally known to attract exclusively female guests from both sides of the family, but current times have allowed males to engage in the festivities as well. Unlike religious events like the Haldi or sections of the wedding ceremony, the Sangeet is exclusively held to celebrate the couple's pleasure and delight.

Originally, the Sangeet would stretch for ten days, culminating in the wedding day, but this custom has now been reduced to a one-day celebration to squeeze all of the wedding activities into one week. Before the Mehndi ceremony, the Sangeet ceremony takes place two or three days before the wedding. This celebration includes dances by the Bride and Groom's relatives and friends, songs are sung in unison by the family's senior female members with the bride as the center point, and an open dance floor to memorialize the celebrations for the days ahead.

The celebration takes place at the Bride's home or a separate banquet hall, where the Bride's family greets the Groom's family by singing Suhaag, a traditional folk song set to the Dhol's beat. Female family members from both sides of the family gather to perform traditional songs about the bride and groom. The family's elders lead the group, dictating the songs to sing at the Sangeet. Punjabi culture is home to this singing practice. 'Jokes' concerning in-laws, the bride leaving her parents' house, and how to have a great marriage are among the songs. The purpose of the Sangeet is not only to celebrate but also to bring the families together so that they may get to know one another before the big day. Relatives and friends of the Bride and Groom choreograph dance numbers to perform for the couple adding to the jubilation of the event. The song and dance portion of the Sangeet is a social bond connecting the two families and to the bride and groom.

Why Delhi Wedding Bands Are the Heartbeat of Indian Weddings

Indian weddings are grand, vibrant, and steeped in tradition, often marked by their lively celebrations and exuberant festivities. At the heart of these celebrations lies the musical ensemble that truly sets the tone for the occasion: the wedding band. In Delhi, wedding bands are not just a part of the celebration; they are the very heartbeat of Indian weddings, bringing energy, joy, and a unique flavor to the festivities.

The Role of a Wedding Band in Delhi

A band for wedding in Delhi does more than just play music; it creates an atmosphere of celebration and joy. From the moment the groom arrives in his majestic baggi for marriages to the final dance of the evening, the wedding band plays a crucial role in every phase of the celebration. Their rhythmic beats and melodious tunes ensure that the guests are not just spectators but active participants in the joyous occasion.

Enhancing the Celebration

The arrival of the groom, often in a beautifully decorated baggi, is one of the most anticipated moments of any Indian wedding. As he makes his grand entrance, the wedding band plays traditional and contemporary music, adding an element of excitement to the moment. The lively beats of the dhol wala in Delhi resonate through the air, creating an electrifying atmosphere that draws everyone in.

A wedding band also plays a pivotal role during key moments of the ceremony, such as the baraat (the groom's procession) and the saat phere (the seven vows taken around the sacred fire). The band enhances these rituals with their music, making them even more memorable. Whether it's playing traditional folk songs or modern hits, the band sets the mood for each event, encouraging guests to dance and celebrate.

Bringing Together Tradition and Modernity

Delhi wedding bands beautifully blend traditional and modern music styles, catering to the diverse preferences of guests. They often play a mix of Bollywood hits, Punjabi folk songs, and classical tunes, ensuring that there's something for everyone. This diversity in music creates a festive atmosphere where guests of all ages can join in the celebrations, whether it's through dance or simply enjoying the performance.

As couples increasingly seek personalized experiences for their weddings, many bands in Delhi offer customizable music playlists. This allows couples to choose songs that hold special meaning for them, making their wedding even more unique and memorable.

My best law school friend is ten years younger than me. We met in our criminal law workshop first year. We started studying together and found we'd formed an easy friendship.

She is a good Punjabi girl and I feel like a bit of an uncultured delinquent beside her. She doesn't date and doesn't drink, except a sneaky sip of bubbly at the law ball which she didn't tell her parents about. When I'm invited to her home we cook together, go to Gurdwara in the evening, and watch films under blankets with her whole family.

While I've never been WILD, I skirt around some parts of my story because I don't want to be a bad influence or lower in her esteem.

I had my 21st in a strip club where I was the topless bar manager (I've had a lot of lapdances). I had 14 piercings, Cruella De Vil hair, and shaved pubes. I smoked, I drank. I've peddled dildos in a bikey- owned sex shop. I've gone with bad men and there's probably revenge porn of me out there. I have been in some really bad places.

I run with musicians and artists and their hedonist influences. I'm tattooed and scarred from frog venom ceremonies in the desert. I've been fired from two jobs and I don't have a driver's license. At least I don't have a criminal record (but I've sold a lot of crackpipes in my time so it's only that I've stayed lucky...)

Believe it or not I'm actually pretty shy and reclusive. Introverted. (Sagittarius sun, Pisces moon, Virgo rising). I'm soft- spoken and modestly dressed. I'm not a wild party girl, just open to people and experiences. Most days I'm reading and don't want to go out at all. When the stars align I might burst- you'll find me licking MDs off someone's boob and dancing on the table.

My friend thinks it's pretty exciting that I've ever ordered a cocktail. She looks to me as a real- life grown- up (a lease, independent finances, getting married). It's true, I am, but she has a far more mature attitude than I did at 21. I spent my 20s doing whatever the hell I pleased (extended teenagehood really), worked out some trauma, and now here I am trying to get a useful career in my 30s.

She's just earnestly working towards her future. She'll start dating and properly consider marriage proposals after she graduates.

She called me before starting her internship, stressed and asking my advice on what to wear and how to act (I HAVE been properly dressed and in a more respected field for years now). I was STONED and waffled on about the value of a collared shirt and the professional skill of remembering names while I smoked cigarettes and sipped wine and told her to be her own beautiful self.

I am growing up into some kind of woman, hey.

How to Plan a Memorable and Fun-Filled Haldi Function?

A haldi ceremony is like a fun party with lots of yellow stuff. It usually happens right before a wedding. And it's a time when everyone can have a blast. Different cultures do it in their special ways. For example, Punjabis have a church ceremony, South Indians have Pellikuthuru or Nalugu. While Maharashtrians do a hal-kund ceremony with green bangles. Each one is unique.

Traditionally, a haldi ceremony was a simple affair, usually held separately at the bride and groom's homes. But nowadays, people like to make it extra special and fun.Hence, they also book Banquet Halls for Haldi Function in Gurgaon. 

 If you want to stick to a simple traditional haldi ceremony at home, here's what you should keep in mind - 

Make your haldi party more organized and fun. Use different rooms for different things. Living room for the main ceremony and the verandah for music and dancing. Tell your guests where to go for each activity. It's like having mini parties all over your house.

 Invite only your closest friends and family to the haldi to keep things tidy. It can get messy with all that yellow stuff, and you wouldn't want your beautiful home stained. So, keep the guest list short, and you'll have a cleaner, more enjoyable ceremony.

Pick flowers for decoration. They're fast and easy to make any place look beautiful. Plus, they're a breeze to remove when the ceremony's done. Use flowers for rangolis, garlands, and bouquets all around your house. No need to worry about cleaning up decorations for days after your haldi. You may book Banquet Halls for Marriage in Gurgaon. Make the food part easy. Sometimes, there might need more room for everyone to sit and eat during the haldi. Waiting for the whole ceremony to finish could be better. So, keep the menu short and simple. People can grab food and eat while standing. No need for fancy seating arrangements. It makes things relaxed and fun for everyone.

Get ready for the rituals in advance. Prepare everything you need the night before the Haldi ceremony. Put labels on everything so there's no confusion or chaos on the big day.

Want to turn your haldi into a big, amazing event? The first step is to hire a wedding planner. They'll cover all the details of your traditional haldi ceremony, making it a spectacular affair. Let them handle the planning, and you can enjoy the celebration!

Creating a beautiful traditional haldi ceremony is simple when you pick a theme. Of course, yellow is the star, but adding touches that reflect you and your spouse-to-be's personalities. It adds charm and makes it unforgettable. Consider and incorporate your favorite movies, music, or passions into the decor. A mix of these elements can jazz up your haldi ceremony.

Consider a poolside setting for extra fun. Splashing in the water excites the celebration, making it even more enjoyable. Customize signs, posters, and other decorations to show your personality and make your haldi ceremony yours. You may look for Banquet Halls for Sangeet Function in Gurgaon accordingly.

The traditional haldi ceremony in India is special in the journey to marital bliss. It's a celebration marked by enthusiasm and vigor. A moment when everyone comes together to share in your joy. So, whether you choose a theme or a poolside extravaganza, your haldi ceremony is a cherished step on the path to you ever after.
