Kiss the bride & tell the world
Weddings have fuelled many a creative mind to come up with either books or movie scripts. The latest in the list are wedding bloggers documenting their real life experiences
The initial search for the groom to even the final destination for honeymoon, weddings make for stories as personal and as fascinating. All hell breaks loose if a bride doesn't want bling for the D-day outfit. Years later, every issue is recalled as an incident. Every incident is narrated as an anecdote to generations to come. Scores of wedding blogs (almost pulling all stops on the virtual traffic) bring out the beauty and terror of the all engulfing phenomenon called the great Indian wedding.
