Weddings are a perfect blend of Traditions, Values and celebrations. It is simply not regarded as an event; rather it is considered as a soulful affair of merger of two souls, or on a border scale of two families. Wedding is one of the most awaited moments of our lives, therefore we expect it to be just perfect but even our best-laid plans can go wrong at times. There are ways and means to enable us to make it as perfect as possible with the help of some magazines or Expos organized by experts in this arena. When asked by Suresh Bodiwala, chair of Asian Media USA for most important advice to plan a perfect flawless hassle free wedding, Dr Modi advise was that one should seriously give consideration to hiring a wedding planner to help you with preparing plans for that very special day in your life.
