Shefali Shah Instagram – We had no such hashtags for our union. We didn’t have an event planner, dress designer, no florist, dance choreographer, videographer (which I regret till date) I didn’t even have a make up artist. We planned and executed everything on our own.
We picked a location, decided the menu, searched for and designed the mandap decor, our own clothes and we got married. Bas as simple as that.
We don’t have perfect pictures, we didnt look like a prince and princess. Yes the horse was milky white with long silky tresses absolutely magnificent but he belonged to the next door ka baraat. And we had danced so much at our sangeet we almost considered postponing our wedding to the day after but it was too late, food for 100 people (thanks to our parents) was cooked. By the end of the evening we weren’t jumping with joy, over flowing with romance or desperate to lay hands on each other. We were just exhausted, tired and dying to sleep. And that’s exactly what we did.
Over the years we have celebrated our union in multiple ways. First, just the two of us, then the four of us. And sometimes, many of us (friends and family).
We planned surprises for each other, gave gifts, flowers and letters (that’s me), cooked or ordered his favourite food.
Music, friends, parties. We have done it all.
But today, we choose to chill at home, just us.
It may not be the best way to celebrate an #anniversary but it is the best way to celebrate life. Life that is solid, rooted, persistent and forever.
