Celebrated withmuch zest <strong>an</strong>d <strong>an</strong> outburst of exuber<strong>an</strong>t colours <strong>an</strong>d sounds, theIndi<strong>an</strong> wedding has risen to the top of the dream charts not only in Indiabut across the globe as well.With the gamut of themes India offers there is little wonder that loversfrom around the world are finding it the perfect destination to tie the knot.After all it is considered the most import<strong>an</strong>t day of one’s life <strong>an</strong>d a dayhighly <strong>an</strong>ticipated. You c<strong>an</strong> be rest assured that childhood f<strong>an</strong>tasies ofcastle-like wedding <strong>an</strong>d grooms on horseback c<strong>an</strong> become a virtual reality.Preparations for the 'D' day are made at least six months in adv<strong>an</strong>cewith relatives from both the sides pitching in to help. With the engagementceremony to be pl<strong>an</strong>ned, the venues to be booked, gifts to be wrapped,the menu to be selected <strong>an</strong>d the honeymoon trip to be org<strong>an</strong>ised, theschedule tends to become really hectic <strong>an</strong>d c<strong>an</strong>not be taken care of singleh<strong>an</strong>dedly.India, of late, has witnessed <strong>an</strong> upsurge in sophisticated weddings. Everyyear something new is added. With the expertise of hundreds of weddingpl<strong>an</strong>ners available, these Hercule<strong>an</strong> tasks are now becoming minimal <strong>an</strong>dgiving the wedding parties ample reason to relax.An Indi<strong>an</strong> Journey finds as much pleasure in researching <strong>an</strong>d writingabout the various aspects of wedding in India as it would have been topl<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong> actual wedding. Since it is the wedding season in India, we findthis <strong>an</strong> opportune time to showcase the richness of <strong>an</strong> Indi<strong>an</strong> wedding.
