One need to do little planning for getting the right wedding transport. Following are few key points you need to bear in mind when you decide what to have.

  • Wedding transport should be in keeping with the rest of the wedding. If you’re planning a very sophisticated event, then turning up in your dad’s old banger won’t hit quite right note.
  • Before you buy private car leasing services, make sure you see the car before booking or paying a deposit. Photos and leaflets don’t show marks, dents or a scruffy interior.
  • The wedding car will be backdrop for wedding photos, so make sure the colour of the car doesn’t clash with the bride’s bouquet or the bridesmaids’ dresses.
  • Buy the ribbon for the front of the car well in advance and ask a reliable (and handy) member of the bridal party to attach it to the car on the day. This can be surprisingly fiddly, so for a professional result, practice is essential.
  • For a stylish effect, colour co-ordinate the ribbon on the car with the general colour theme of your wedding.
  • In the excitement of your car leasing, don’t forget the other members of bridal party. You will also need transport for your parents and the bridesmaids.
  • If you’re going on honeymoon straight after the wedding, remember that you’ll have to take your luggage with you to the reception. Taking care of all these practicalities is traditionally the best man’s job, so liaise with him to ensure that all goes smoothly on the day.
  • Confirm any bookings at least a week before the big day — you don’t want to find out that your wedding car has been double-booked on the morning of the wedding!

This is the wedding season in south Asia (especially Pakistan, India and Bangladesh) and among all other things we can not miss the importance of first night and ‘troubles’ of this night. After all long lasting traditional events the newly married couple makes their way to their bedroom in the hope of – well – privacy, but they get shocked because of the different plans mapped out by the friends and family. The most common one is to delay the couple from entering the room when they are dying to do so. Below are the few examples to describe the situation one can face.

Says Lekha Mohan, “At a cousin’s wedding we just didn’t let my BIL go his room and made him drink till 6 am,” she chuckles.

Subir Malik says: “After attending a friend’s wedding in Kolkata, I kept calling him every five minutes till almost midnight, till he finally switched his phone off.

Nidhi Goel, remembers how she troubled her brother on his wedding night.

“We placed condoms in every corner of his room! It just put them off.”

Leaving remote controlled cars, squeaky toys and stinking onions are, of course, other alternatives. So be careful folks!

After wedding every couple wants to have a honeymoon at a nice place. A brief introduction of some places popular among newlywed couples.

Hawaii and the Caribbean are at the top of the list. The credits go to the most wonderful beaches and breathe taking scenery of these islands. They are ideal places for a newlywed couple to relax and enjoy each others company.

Paris still in the top ten as it will always be known as the city of romance and have some great landmarks to go and see.

The ice hotel in Sweden is now becoming very popular with you newlyweds. I have seen the images of this hotel and really it is a place to visit / honeymoon. Even the beds are made of ice.
