{AFTER THE ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT, THE PARTY WINDS DOWN, AND LIFE RETURNS TO ITS USUAL RHYTHM. ABHISHEK AND KAVYA ENJOY A PERIOD OF CALM, FOCUSING ON THEIR CAREERS AND PERSONAL LIVES, BUT THE TRANQUILITY IS ABOUT TO CHANGE}

{A FEW WEEKS LATER, ABHISHEK AND KAVYA ARE INVITED TO A FAMILY DINNER. BOTH ARE RELAXED, THINKING IT'S JUST A CASUAL GET-TOGETHER. HOWEVER, THEIR FAMILIES HAVE A SURPRISE IN STORE........ ABHISHEK AND KAVYA ARRIVE AT THE VENUE, WHERE THEIR PARENTS ARE ALREADY GATHERED, CHATTING AND ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY. THE ATMOSPHERE IS WARM AND WELCOMING}

RAJ(SMILING)-ABHISHEK, KAVYA, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU. WE HAVE SOMETHING TO DISCUSS ABOUT THE WEDDING.

ANITA(NODDING)-YES, WE'VE FINALIZED THE DATES AND MADE SOME DECISIONS ABOUT THE PREPARATIONS. WE'RE ALL VERY EXCITED!

{ABHISHEK AND KAVYA EXCHANGE PUZZLED LOOKS, SENSING THAT SOMETHING MORE SIGNIFICANT IS COMING}

ABHAY (CURIOUS)-WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WE HAVEN'T REALLY STARTED PLANNING YET.

KAVYA (NERVOUSLY)-YES, WE WERE HOPING TO DISCUSS THINGS IN DETAIL LATER. WHAT'S THE UPDATE?

MANJU(CHEERFULLY)-THE WEDDING IS SET FOR THREE MONTHS FROM NOW. IT'S GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL AFFAIR, AND WE NEED TO START PLANNING RIGHT AWAY.

PREM(SERIOUSLY)-YOU TWO WILL NEED TO HANDLE THE SHOPPING, VENUE ARRANGEMENTS, AND ALL THE DETAILS. WE'VE GOT A LIST OF THINGS FOR YOU TO GET DONE.

KAVYA(SURPRISED)-THREE MONTHS? THAT'S QUITE SOON. WE WERE HOPING TO TAKE A BIT MORE TIME.

ABHAY(NODDING)-YES, IT FEELS A BIT RUSHED. WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO FIRST?

ANITA(HANDING OVER A DETAILED LIST)-HERE'S A LIST OF THINGS YOU'LL NEED TO SORT OUT. IT INCLUDES DRESS FITTINGS, VENUE BOOKINGS, INVITATIONS, AND OTHER ESSENTIALS.

RAJ(ENCOURAGINGLY)-DON'T WORRY. WE'RE ALL HERE TO HELP. IT'S JUST THAT THERE'S A LOT TO GET DONE IN A SHORT TIME.ALSO NEHA AND KOMAL WILL HELP US!!

{ABHISHEK AND KAVYA LOOK AT THE LIST, OVERWHELMED BUT DETERMINED TO MANAGE EVERYTHING}

KAVYA (SIGHING)-WOW, THIS IS A LOT. I DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS SO MUCH TO HANDLE.

ABHAY(TRYING TO STAY POSITIVE)-WE'LL MANAGE IT. IT'S GOING TO BE HECTIC, BUT WE'LL GET THROUGH IT TOGETHER.

KAVYA (SMILING)-YES, WE WILL. AT LEAST WE HAVE THE SUPPORT OF OUR FAMILIES. LET'S START MAKING A PLAN.

{OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, ABHISHEK AND KAVYA DIVE INTO THE WEDDING PREPARATIONS. THEY VISIT BRIDAL SHOPS, MEET WITH DECORATORS, AND SORT THROUGH ENDLESS LISTS. THE PROCESS IS EXHAUSTING BUT ALSO FILLED WITH MOMENTS OF SHARED LAUGHTER AND BONDING.}

ABHAY (WHILE TRYING ON A SUIT)-HOW DO I LOOK? TOO FORMAL?

KAVYA (LAUGHING)-NO, YOU LOOK GREAT. JUST REMEMBER TO SMILE LIKE THAT AT THE WEDDING TOO.

{FEELING THE PRESSURE, ABHISHEK AND KAVYA TURN TO THEIR FRIENDS FOR HELP AND ADVICE}

SURYA (JOKINGLY)-NEED ANY HELP WITH THE PLANNING? I CAN HANDLE THE DJ IF YOU NEED IT.

HARDIK(GRINNING)-AND I'LL BE YOUR WEDDING PLANNER FOR A DAY. JUST MAKE SURE TO HAVE FUN.
