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! ❤️

June 15: The Day I Buried My Mother and Met My Daughter

Eleven years ago, on this very day, our family grieved all over again. My mother passed away on May 8, 2015. While the initial rituals were completed within a few days, one final responsibility remained. Since she had been cremated, we decided to take her ashes to our ancestral graveyard, where my great-grandparents and grandparents were buried. On June 15, 2015, we laid her ashes to rest. Along with them went her favorite sarees, her notebook, the pen she always carried, and several belongings that had been a part of her daily life. As we buried those ashes, it felt as though we were saying goodbye to her all over again. Her ashes were the last tangible reminder we had of her, and letting go was not easy. Six years later, in 2021, I was pregnant with my daughter. My due date was June 7, 2021, but God had a different plan. Days passed, and there were no signs of labor. We waited and waited. By June 13, I had crossed 40 weeks, and labor was induced without much success. On the night of ...

FRIENDSHIP

25-March-2010 We all have friends at all stages of our lives. But how many of us keep in touch with them forever??? I always wondered why 99% of friendships break at every stage. I was very close with one of my friends in the 5th class. We used to say we’d never be separated. But now, I don’t even know where she is… Then came my 10th-class friend. We were like flesh and nail—we wore the same dress, ate together, and hung out everywhere. But now she is far away from me. We talk only twice a year—once on her birthday and once on mine. And then, my college friends. Not just one, but 13 of them. Very close to me. We ruled the class! Everyone was jealous of our friendship. But how long would it last??? It was nice to hear my friends say that we’d meet once a year and have fun. But practically… is it possible? Friendship is like a train. It starts at the source station and ends at the destination. It stops at every station along the way. Friends are like passengers—they board the train of fr...

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. ...
