The news of our engagement spread like wildfire, igniting a wave of excitement among friends and family alike. Congratulations poured in from every corner, each message a sweet reminder of the love we were building. My heart swelled with joy, but amidst the whirlwind of happiness, I felt a twinge of trepidation as my mother dove headfirst into wedding planning.
“Avni, we need to finalize the venue, catering, and decorations!” she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm as she unfolded a colour-coded spreadsheet.
I couldn’t help but laugh. “Mom, slow down! We just got engaged. Let’s breathe a little,” I replied, trying to rein in the growing sense of urgency.
Rohan’s mother, Nalini, chimed in with a warm smile. “Let’s blend tradition with modern elements for a beautiful celebration,” she suggested, her voice soothing and reassuring.
As the four of us gathered around the dining table, excitement buzzed in the air. Rohan and I exchanged a glance, a shared understanding passing between us.
“We want a simple, yet elegant wedding,” we said in unison, grinning at our synchronized thoughts.
Our mothers exchanged a knowing look, their minds already racing with possibilities. “We’ll make it happen,” they assured us, brimming with the joy of planning what would become a treasured memory.
Meanwhile, Sanju, my ever-enthusiastic best friend, took charge of my bridal party, her energy infectious. “Girls, we need to plan an epic bachelorette party!” she declared, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Laughter erupted among my friends as we began brainstorming ideas, our excitement only adding to the unfolding magic of our engagement.
As the preparations unfolded around us, Rohan and I found stolen moments amidst the chaos—quiet escapes that deepened our connection. One evening, as the sun set in a wash of pink and gold, Rohan took my hand, his gaze intense. “We’re really doing this, aren’t we?” he whispered, a mix of awe and happiness in his voice.
I smiled, my heart full. “We sure are,” I replied, feeling the weight of our shared journey settling comfortably between us.
One particular evening, Rohan whisked me away to his café, a place that had become a sanctuary for us. “Avni, I have a surprise,” he said, his excitement palpable.
Curiosity sparked within me as we entered. The café had transformed into a breathtaking wedding-themed setup. Candles flickered softly, their light dancing against a backdrop of delicate flowers, while a romantic melody played in the air, wrapping us in a cosy embrace.
Rohan’s eyes shone with pride as he gestured around the room. “I want our special day to be perfect,” he said, his voice filled with sincerity.
My heart melted at his thoughtfulness. “This is perfect,” I whispered, overwhelmed by the beauty of the moment and the love it represented.
As the world faded away, Rohan stepped closer, our hearts beating in synchrony. We shared a tender kiss, sealing our promise of forever amidst the fragrance of flowers and the warmth of candlelight. In that beautiful moment, I knew we were ready to take the next step in our love story, one that would lead us down the path of forever.
Together, we would navigate the intricacies of wedding planning, laughter, and love, hand in hand, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
