Things girls worry about on her D-day...

A lot of girls grow up dreaming about their wedding. Preparations for the much-awaited day starts quite in advance—the best bridal attire is readied, the prize-winning photographer is selected and flower arrangements and décor are chosen that look like a real life version of some glossy magazine’s photo shoot. But nothing can prepare a bride for what lies ahead. On the wedding day, she will go through emotions that she was never aware of. From murderous rage to impulsive ideas, thoughts that dominate her mind can put anyone to shame. Let’s hear in from the horse’s, er…, bride’s mouth:

2/8

How will I pee?

“Peeing is your worst nightmare when you are safely tucked inside a bridal attire two sizes smaller than what you wear, and are overloaded with jewellery that will even put Bappi Lahiri to shame. I was constantly worried that what will I do if I feel like peeing!”

The 'Baraat' would not arrive

As the hours passed by, my fear about the 'baraat' not arriving grew worse. The thought was constantly running over mind that something will go wrong, and I will be standing there all alone with hundreds of people staring at me.

4/8

I want to elope

“It was a difficult day for me. Despite planning everything quite in advance, nothing was going the way I wanted. I called my fiancé and suggested that we should elope because I could not take the pressure any longer. Luckily, he didn’t agree to it.”

5/8

Am I the ugliest person standing?

“The entire day I felt like I was looking like a clown because I am not used to wearing such heavy make-up. I had chosen the best make-up artist and had specifically told him that I want minimalistic make-up. Unfortunately, the word minimalistic never existed in his dictionary and after four hours, I was covered in a mask of foundation, concealer, highlighter and what not.”

6/8

I wanted to get drunk

“There comes a breaking point when you cannot take it anymore. The loud crowd, blaring music and fake smiles. I needed a drink (and a strong one!) desperately to cool my nerves down.”

7/8

Who are these people?

“Funny as it might sound, I was shocked to see so many people attending my wedding. I kept wondering who are these people and how come I was never aware of their existence till now?”

8/8

Sex on first night

“I had an arranged marriage, and was constantly worried about what would be our first night like. I have had physical relationship prior to my marriage and had told my fiancé about it. Since he came from a very conservative family, I was a little worried that there might be some hiccups.” (Images: Shutterstock)
