Weeding Speech

Weeding speeches can be traced back in history as far as ancient Greece, where Choricius of Gaza, a Greek philosopher, became famous for his beautiful speeches delivered to brides and grooms.

Wedding speeches have definitely evolved through time. They used to be nothing more than blessings given by the fathers of both the bride and groom. Modern speeches often include humor as well as well wishing blessings.

Though it’s a tradition in western culture, can be a part of Indian marriage celebration. However, it allowed with the * condition of “GLOCAL” theory. “GLOCAL” means, Being global but acting local. The speech should follow local touch, as per our culture and traditions with the prescribed rules or frame of global standard.

Go for googling on internet, especially on You Tube. Definitely, you will get some good videos and have a fair idea about this concept. There are so many sample speeches available on internet and easily anyone can go for copy and pest, with a must “Edit” option to give own emotional touch.

Check the following video, one of the best speeches by bride’s father.

Bachelor party / Mehendi:

 

Let’s plan something to make your bachelor party or Mehendi occasion memorable, for years to come. But one new, well versioned, dictionary. Put it on a prominent place or pass it from one friend to another.

Request your guests to circle words in a dictionary to remind you of their wedding day. Then ask them to write a message on a bookmark to explain why they picked each word. You'll always need a dictionary in your home, and you'll cherish this one forever.

Change the “Engine Oil”, to make the ride better

My friends still smile at me when i tell them about this thought and i in turn smile at them. One thing that i wanted to say, it’s not necessary to be a genius for making people happy. The only skill you require “Commonsense”. It depends on you, how smartly you can “Copy” the thoughts from other’s life, from book, from movie etc. and how smartly can “Pest” in real life with the "Midas touch" of personalise "Edit".

Just think of the last time, you had change the engine oil of your bike? I agree, about your petrol expenses like going for shopping, dinner, parks; etc with spouse but this thought is all about changing “Engine Oil” to make the ride better.

Now, come to the thought directly, (Intro narration, already finished). I was watching the movie, “Bunty Aur Babli”, and the particular scene at Taj Mahal, can act as engine oil for your bike of relationship. They take their marriage vows in front of the Taj Mahal, promising to see each other through life and death, promising to think about each other first, promising to take care of one another, promising to increase the “Love Meter” velocity day by day, promising not to bother about public, promising not to cheat each other bla bla... And then they go right back to doing what they like best.

Yes, one more Vow Ceremony can be done for both of you, you & only for you. Watch the movie and specifically the particular scene, remember those lines or write something similar to that with your own mother language (to make it different). Choose a place, select a particular time, and start taking vows for each other. These words, promises, thoughts are your own, for you only. It’s not for the society, not for family not for the sake of rituals.

Capture the memory with beautiful snaps and be happy. I am sure, a day will come and you will be glad to narrate this incident to your grand children and the cute will reply, what an Idea Grand Paa/Mummy????

Celebrating the Birthday of your Spouse

Birthday is one of the most important and special event in making relationship healthier. Apply any of the following unique ideas to give a smile on your spouse face.

1)      Read out the blogpost “Counting the bond and number game” on October month list and apply some of the number game with an edit touch.

2)      Neither presents a special gift to your spouse on his/her birthday nor celebrates the birthday. Try to celebrate the birthday week, present 7 gifts on each day and make plans for whole week celebration. 

3)      On the birthday, try to treat your spouse as a king/queen for that special day. Address him/her with royal prefix, like: My Lord XX, His highness XX, The Great Ruler XX, Her Highness YY, Queen YY and the Ruler of my heart Queen YY etc. Ask his/her orders for every next plan.

4)      Go to a nearby banner printing shop. Order for a huge banner saying “Happy Birthday to XXXXX”. Pest it on the back side of your bedroom door. On early morning, your spouse can get the surprise. Otherwise put it on your drawing room, garden area, on your roof or any prominent place as per your convenience. Wait for the surprise on early morning.

5)      Switch off all the gadgets connecting you with the outer world. Dedicate the whole day for him/her. Celebrate the day without any disturbances.

6)      At the end of the day or on the next day, write down your way of celebration on a diary. Pass the diary to your spouse and let her do the same thing. Read it on your leisure time and be happy with memories. Year by year, the stories will increase and add value to the memories.

7)      As usual for more ideas, search on newspaper, magazine, browse internet, borrow thoughts from friends etc. But never forget the two golden rules. You are most welcome, to do “Copy and Pest” with the magic touch of “Edit” by yourself.

Continuing the Bond with number game:

Some rough ideas are revolving around air. I can’t wait more, let’s go through.

What about few unique ideas to celebrate marriage anniversary in a way, which will make the moment big, bigger, best year by year. You will eagerly wait for the next year to celebrate in a larger way. After all it’s all about numbers. The numbers will increase on a arithmetic progression basis but but but the happiness will increase on geometric progression basis.

1)      Plant a tree on your first anniversary. Two tree on second year and so on… If you don’t have enough land or space for plantation, contact with nearby park, school, Municipality. When you will be at 50, these activities of past years will make happy, energize, socially involved, creating goodwill for you.

2)      Choose an orphanage and donate a gift on first year. Donate two gifts on second year and so on… Make sure, the gifts are useful and fulfilling basic needs rather than expensive and satisfying luxury needs. Monetary value doesn’t matter for the gifts, the empathy (no sympathy) and love for children matters.

3)      Go for a journey to one state on first anniversary and move to another state on second year. It will take you 30 years to complete whole India. Remember, you will never feel bored, it’s Incredible India!

4)      Go for a celebration at hotel for a single night on first anniversary. Double night celebration on second year and counting… May this idea will cost more year by year but it will give you some privacy in a restless world to make your bond stronger.

5)      Give a gift to your spouse on first year of anniversary and play with the numbers on coming year. As the years will pass, excitement will increase to open the gift boxes. No need to go for expensive always, emphasize on small, silly, fun making gifts.

6)      Go for a dinner on your first anniversary and order a single dish like Pizza, Biriyani, Pasta, Noodles etc. Second year, order two dishes and continue the number game for dishes. As the years will pass, the size of table will increase for dinner (just kidding).

7)      You can also add few more thoughts and put them on number game. Thoughts like: Inviting number of guests, writing number of love letters, giving number of kisses, lighting number of candles in temple, donating number of sweets packets to strangers and thoughts from your mind for your love.
