Blueprints of Love

42. A Pre-Wedding Mishap

The countdown to Savi and Rajat's wedding had reached its final days, and excitement hung in the air like a sweet melody. Everyone was buzzing with anticipation, making arrangements, and finalizing details for what was supposed to be a beautiful beach wedding in Konkan. The sun shone brightly as the couple and their families arrived at the venue for the final walkthrough.

But the peace of that sunny day was about to be shattered.

"Okay, everything looks perfect!" Savi said, looking around at the decorations and the serene ocean view. She felt a rush of joy at the thought of finally getting married in this beautiful place. "I can't believe it's just a few days away!"

"I know! It's surreal," Rajat replied, standing beside her with a wide smile. "We've put in so much effort, and it's all coming together beautifully."

Just as they began to revel in the moment, dark clouds loomed on the horizon, casting a shadow over the excitement.

"Savi, do you see those clouds?" Rajat pointed out, his brow furrowing slightly.

Savi squinted, feeling her stomach drop. "Uh-oh. I hope it's just passing rain. We can't have this on our wedding day!"

As if in response to her worries, the first drops of rain began to fall. The gentle patter quickly turned into a downpour, and within minutes, the venue was engulfed in a torrential storm.

Savi gasped, her heart racing. "No, no, no! This can't be happening!"

Rajat's face hardened with concern. "We need to get everyone inside. Let's move the decorations and check on the tents."

Just as they started to organize the chaos, the venue manager rushed in, panic evident in his eyes. "I'm sorry, but the flooding is getting worse. We may have to evacuate."

"What?" Savi exclaimed, her voice shaking. "What do you mean to evacuate? We can't leave! This is our wedding!"

"I know," the manager said, raising his hands defensively. "But the venue is already flooding. We need to ensure everyone is safe."

Savi felt the world spinning around her. "What are we going to do? This is our dream wedding! It's all ruined!" Tears streamed down her cheeks as the weight of the situation hit her.

"Hey," Rajat said, pulling her into his arms, his voice steady. "We'll find a way. Let's think this through."

"But the beach... the decorations... everything!" she cried, feeling overwhelmed.

"Listen," he said, gently lifting her chin to meet his gaze. "It's just a venue. We can find another place. We have our friends and family. That's what really matters."

"But..." Savi stammered, looking down at her soaked shoes. "It won't be the same."

"It can still be special, even if it's not exactly what we planned," Rajat reassured her. "Let's get our friends together and brainstorm. We'll make it work, I promise."

Feeling a surge of determination from his words, Savi wiped her tears and nodded. "Okay, let's do it. We can't let this ruin our day."

Rajat smiled at her, grateful for her resilience. "That's the spirit! Now, let's find everyone and see what we can do."

They quickly gathered their friends and family who were already present at the venue. The storm raged outside, but inside, Savi felt a wave of solidarity wash over her as they all faced the unexpected crisis together.

"Everyone, listen up!" Rajat called out, his voice strong and clear over the sound of the rain. "We need your help. The venue is flooding, but we're not going to let that stop us. We're looking for an alternative location for the wedding."

"What about the nearby beach?" one of Rajat's friends suggested. "We could set up a tent there!"

"Good idea!" Savi exclaimed, feeling hope begin to spark within her. "We could bring the decorations and make it cozy."

"And I can handle the catering," Isha chimed in, her voice steady. "We can shift everything to the beach. It will be a little more rustic, but it'll be beautiful."

"Count me in for helping with the setup!" another friend added, his enthusiasm contagious. "I'll grab my truck and we can load everything up."

Rajat looked at Savi, their shared determination evident. "Let's get to work, team!"

They quickly mobilized, dividing tasks among the group. Savi felt a sense of purpose as they loaded decorations, lights, and chairs into vehicles. She and Rajat worked side by side, their connection deepening as they faced the challenge together.

"You know," Savi said breathlessly as they lifted a heavy box, "I never imagined my wedding would involve so much running around in the rain."

"Only you could turn a pre-wedding crisis into an adventure," Rajat teased, lifting the box with ease. "But I wouldn't want to be doing this with anyone else."

"Neither would I," Savi admitted, her heart swelling at his words.

As they reached the beach, the storm began to ease, and the rain transformed into a gentle drizzle. They found a perfect spot near the shore, the sound of the waves soothing and calming.

"I can't believe we're doing this!" Savi said, glancing at the ocean. "It feels surreal."

"It's going to be unforgettable," Rajat said, his excitement contagious. "And the backdrop? Beautiful."

With everyone's help, they quickly set up a makeshift venue on the beach. They draped fairy lights across the tents, adorned tables with flowers from local vendors, and arranged seating facing the ocean. The atmosphere transformed into a cozy, intimate gathering spot filled with laughter and camaraderie.

Savi stepped back, surveying the scene as the last rays of sunlight peeked through the clouds. "Look at this! It's perfect!" she exclaimed, marvelling at how beautiful everything turned out despite the chaos.

"Just wait until the sun sets," Rajat said, wrapping an arm around her. "It'll be magical."

As night fell, they lit lanterns and candles, casting a warm glow across the beach. Savi's heart swelled with gratitude as she watched their friends come together, working to make their wedding special despite the unexpected turn of events.

"I can't believe how quickly everyone stepped up," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "I feel so lucky to have such amazing people in our lives."

Rajat nodded, his eyes shining. "It just shows how much we all care for each other. This is what love looks like—supporting one another, especially when things get tough."

"Absolutely," Savi replied, leaning into him. "And I realize now that it's not about the perfect venue or decorations; it's about the people we're surrounded by."

They shared a quiet moment, the sound of the ocean crashing against the shore creating a peaceful rhythm. Savi turned to Rajat, her eyes shining. "Thank you for being my rock through all of this."

"Always," he said, kissing her forehead gently. "We're in this together, remember?"

As the final touches were made, Savi felt a wave of excitement wash over her. "I can't wait for tomorrow!"
