First of all, congratulations on the wedding.

It’s best if you come yourself and have a hands on experience, and by you I mean you and your immediate family. After all you would want to be on top of things yourself for your own wedding.

As far as security goes, it’s like any other place. You observe the norms of keeping safe ie when shopping in crowded areas, don’t go alone, don’t make a big show of things, go in daylight to bazaars since you might get lost, take a male along (driver tagging behind to hold bags etc) or a female who knows the area. If you are going to places like liberty or anarkali, then Id recommend wearing a dobatta on your head. I generally do a chaddar, not cos you have to or anything, it just feels safer. If asking for directions, it’s best to slow down at well lit roads where a traffic policeman and rolling down a window partially to ask rather than asking anyone on the side. In bazaars if you want to know about something it’s better to ask from females shopping in that area.

Baqi, don’t believe the hype.** The army has it well under control in Lahore**. And Faisalabad hasnt been in the news for ages as far as bombings go.
