You may be taking too narrow a view of one situation, selecting some facts and ignoring others for no good reason. The Moon, which tells you what comforts you, is passing through your own sign today so you will want to be indulged. You need motherly mates around who will let you lean one moment and fly free the next.

Have a Monsoon Wedding

Isha Sehmbey | Jun 21, 2007

All the best venues are taken, caterers are taken, and even priests are not free! So why marry in December? Get what you want in low prices and make your wedding far more exciting by having a 'Monsoon Wedding'!

Advantages

Just when you are thinking about the problems that can occur if you marry during rains, here are some of the advantages…

Just like you have shoe sales all over during monsoon, prices of caterers also go down and venue managers are ready to bargain.
It is unbelievable but people actually book popular wedding halls a year in advance. Well if you are an august bride, you will get your desired venue even a week in advance.
It is a great idea to escape from the city and have a wedding at a hill station or even Goa! For once this will keep those far off aunts happy. Your wedding will be a great vacation for all and everyone will remember you.
Monsoon is a very romantic time and tying the knot with raindrops falling all around itself makes those good feelings flowing.

Special Arrangements

Water proofing in the venue is a must or else it will be difficult to keep the hawand burning. To be one the safer side have an indoor wedding. Make sure there are no leakages anywhere.

While choosing the venue make sure it is convenient for all the guests. Also check for any potholes outside the venue.

Provide valet with large umbrellas to help them get in the venue form their car. You can also make arrangements for cars to pick and drop some of the selective guest.

As soon as the guests enter provide cloth napkins instead of paper ones. Also make sure there is a clean and spacious washroom available at the venue for the guest to freshen up and change their clothes.

For Food Lovers

The wedding menu should be very interesting and safe as this is the time when people are very careful about what they eat. Everything has to be fresh, and the best way to do this by having live counters!

Besides, tava items and pasta, a live counter for bhajiyas and jalebi will also be a definite hit! Also add hot drinks like hot masala milk.

Ask you caterer to provide an insect catcher, as flies are likely to enter when it rains outside.

Love those pre-wedding functions? Then a rain dance party for a spinster bash or the cocktail party is a must.

Make it Happy

Add some special touches to brighten the ambience. You can do this by using bright colours to decorate the venue. Play classic monsoon songs at the reception. You can also make rain your theme by using fountains, umbrellas and rainbows around the venue.
