ABSTRACT
Here in India, weddings are meant to be grand, meant to be big. Weddings, in fact, are the biggest celebration of a person's life. The size and scale of your wedding determines your pecking order in society … But suppose, you can't quite manage an Antwerp or Bali wedding and a French chateau is totally out of the reckoning: you can always create a Venice in Goa, a Rajasthani fort in Mumbai or a tropical forest in Delhi. As disposable incomes grow healthier, more couples than ever are opting for professional planners to see them through their weddings rather than depending on the sage advice of uncles and aunts who would otherwise have pitched to help with wedding preparations … Today, you too can have your own version of the big fat Indian wedding (Menon 2007)!
