His parents found the caterer. The venue got booked just to get everyone off their backs. Six months later, all the boxes were checked. But every wedding they attended felt strangely familiar. Because it looked exactly like the one they were planning. Then somewhere in the middle of another heated discussion, someone finally asked: ## "Why are we even doing this?" We’ve seen this before. Most couples aren’t overwhelmed because they’re incapable. They’re overwhelmed because nobody told them the right next step. DesiWeds gives you a plan to follow.
