They say, people with fortune smiling on them get married only once in a lifetime and spend the rest of their life with the same partner. But, in that case, the rarest of rare moment of their life become even more cherishing. They want to share the joy with their dear ones and colleagues. These days’ couples remain busy posting all the details even during their honeymoon. Hey, do not get me wrong. They usually keep their friends updating about the places they visit and the popular holiday activities they keep themselves busy with.
Sometimes the soon to be married couples keep their friends updating about their plans leading to the wedding function and the other post-marriage occasions. Wedding sites are very popular these days. These sites are dedicated to everything from pre-marriage preparations to the honeymoon planning. Sometimes friends keep making little suggestions on this and that. The sites get adorned by wedding and honeymoon photos.
