Wedding Chaos: The Fun, Fights, and Love Behind Wedding Prep

silly fight between couple

Raise your hands if your wedding was full of tension and confusion!
It’s not just you—almost everyone experiences hectic preparations for their big day. Some people walk through it with a cool head, but most (including me) turn everything upside down! Wedding planning involves so many things—you need to plan, prepare, understand, discuss, and manage countless tasks.

Wedding preparations are never a one-person job. For my wedding, my mom was the planner, my dad was the financier and executor, my sister was the designer, and I took on the role of the purchaser!

I don’t know why I had so many silly fights during my wedding preparations. Maybe it was because of my short temper or the fear of getting married. I’m sure many of you have experienced similar fears and ended up fighting with your close ones too!

Here’s a list of common wedding preparation fights—just for laughs! 😄

1. Fight with Your Boss

You definitely need at least two weeks off to celebrate your big day. Once your wedding date is set, the first challenge is facing your angry boss to get your leave approved! While some people muster the courage to ask directly, others struggle to get their leave sanctioned.

How to overcome this situation
Instead of being rude or hesitant, meet your boss with a personalized wedding invitation. Trust me, it’ll make leave approval a piece of cake!

2. Cloth Fight with Your Sister

While the bride is busy handling anxiety, fear, and excitement, the sister seems to have plenty of time to shop for the latest outfits! Often, sisters end up getting ready faster than the bride—and that’s where the verbal clashes begin!

How to overcome this situation
Plan ahead with your sister. Decide on the color, dress, and accessories she wants to wear so there’s no confusion on the big day.

3. Fights with Brothers

Brothers can be lifesavers during wedding prep—they help buy cosmetics, clothes, jewelry, and all those last-minute essentials. But the fight begins when they refuse to help or bring back irrelevant stuff!

How to overcome this situation

Be kind. Don’t shout at them (even though you’ll be tempted). Remember, they’re your only option for last-minute shopping runs. Request their help nicely instead of commanding them!

4. Fights with Mom

If you fight with your mom over missing combs or jammed taps on regular days, you can expect it to get worse during wedding prep. Misplaced safety pins, ill-fitting blouses, or guests arriving late are perfect reasons for a fight!

How to overcome this situation
Moms are superheroes who understand the emotional stress you’re going through. Be patient and discuss your concerns calmly if you want a quick solution.

5. Shopping Fights with Other Brides

Have you ever fought with another bride at the store over a dress? It sounds silly, but when you’re overwhelmed with choices, it’s easy to start observing others. When the other bride picks something nice, suddenly you want the same thing!

How to overcome this situation
Take your friends along when you shop and ask them to stay alert. They’ll help you avoid unnecessary fights!

6. Fights with Your Fiancé

Talking to your fiancé every day brings you closer, but too much love also opens the door for silly fights. You’ll bicker about everything—wrong gifts, missed calls, unanswered texts, and more!

How to overcome this situation
Respect your fiancé. Remember that both of you are still learning about each other, and it takes time to develop perfect compatibility.

7. Fights with Elders

Elders come with their own customs and traditions, while the younger generation tends to be less accommodating. They might comment on the way you sit, talk, or eat, leading to friction.

How to overcome this situation
Respect their experience. Instead of talking back, follow their advice—or if you disagree, politely ignore it without hurting their feelings.

And that’s not all! You’ll have fights with the caterer when the food doesn’t taste good, with the florist when the flower color doesn’t match, financial fights with your dad, and even arguments with friends who don’t turn up!

Make sure you enjoy these silly fights without hurting anyone. Cherish every moment—they’ll become the best memories of your life! ❤️

Tomorrow, My Morning Coffee Will Taste Different

It’s been three weeks since we moved to Vadodara. Every morning since, I’ve unknowingly built a quiet ritual—coffee in hand, eyes on the sky, watching planes take off from Vadodara Airport, which I can see clearly from our balcony. There's something calming about it. Hopeful, even. A small moment of stillness as the world begins to move. But today… today was not like the other days. Around noon, news broke about the Air India crash at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Airport, Ahmedabad. And everything I felt in those quiet, breezy mornings shattered into something heavier, more fragile. It’s strange how suddenly a routine can take on new meaning and how quickly something comforting can start to feel ominous. My husband used to be a frequent flyer to Ahmedabad in the months before we settled down here. I was right there at that same airport with my dad and daughter, barely three weeks ago. I still remember my first visit to Ahmedabad and I wasn’t particularly excited. It felt temporary. ...

A Journey from Journals to a Full-Time Writing Career

  February 2025. Today, I sat down with my cup of coffee, opened my laptop, and found myself on https://maithilyarulraja.blogspot.com/ —a place I hadn't visited in ages. As I scrolled through my old posts, I couldn't help but smile. Each post was a time capsule, taking me back to a simpler time when my only intention was to record life’s little moments and put my thoughts into words. It wasn’t planned, it wasn’t polished, but it was pure passion—words written for the joy of writing. The blog began in 2010. Back then, I was working as an IT analyst, with no clue that one-day writing would become my full-time career. I had no grand vision for the blog; I simply wanted a space to share my experiences, document daily events, and reflect on life. Little did I know that those casual posts would lay the foundation for something much bigger—a passion that would eventually turn into my profession. Looking back at the posts, I felt an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. Some posts were funn...

Journaling: A Habit That Became a Lifeline

Journaling has been an inseparable part of my life for over 20 years—almost as natural as brushing my teeth or taking a bath. It’s more than just a habit; it has become an obsession. Every day, I capture my thoughts, emotions, and moments, pouring them into the pages of my diary like an old friend who never judges. Growing up, I was an average student, often overlooked in school and college. My parents weren’t the most supportive, and humiliation became a constant companion, especially in front of family, friends, and neighbours. But amidst all of this, my diary remained my refuge, my safe space, and my most loyal friend. During my school and college days, my diary listened when no one else would. It never ridiculed or belittled me. It saw my laughter, my tears, my struggles—it even stopped me from making drastic decisions at times. If not for my diary, I don't know how I would have survived those years. Reliving the Past Through Old Journals Back then, my diary held stories of joy...
