“You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
Bob Marley
First of All - Introduction
I first fell in love with ‘love’ at 15! Okay! Perhaps that was overly dramatic! Laughing out loud… However, it was only after watching Yeh Vaada Raha (The Promise), a 1982 Hindi romantic drama that depicts the courtship of Vikram (a young man who is exceedingly affluent and the heir to an estate) and Sunita (a beautiful singer, who by no means is from a wealthy background), that I actually became aware of the concept of "love".

Vikram and Sunita made a pact to remain together until death do them part. But fate intervened. Together with other forces determined to keep them apart, a tragic incidence caused their separation. But in the end, true love prevailed and brought them back into each other's arms.
So, did I cry? Of course! A fiction, nonetheless, love conquered.
When you find true and dependable love, you will together create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. Even if some of these memories aren't so pleasant, I dare say that they often play a significant role in a couple's ability to stay together. So, yes! I do believe in love.
For couples who have decided to take their ‘love journey’ to the next level (saying the big – ‘I Do’), my hearty congratulations to you. For many, wedding ceremonies go beyond simply exchanging marriage vows. It entails a whole lot of processes including choosing the date(s), wedding coordinator, venue, decorators, photographers, trendy wedding attires, accessories, music and much more.
