Re: One piece of advice…
^ That is such a cute story! 
Mine was kind of opposite, i wanted really nice tips/nails but unfo at the time i wasn’t even allowed to go to a somewhat decent place to get my nails and stuff done so i had to go get them done in the cheapass parlour in the hood and the aunty did such a TERRIBLE JOB, i still get mad thinking abt it.
Portraits is a good idea but sometimes its just possible to have it before the ceremoney, esp if everyone will be all hawwwwww haiiiiiiii-ing ke “abhi tak nikkah nahi huwa” and already taking pics… u know, desi mentality 
Personally i ca’t think of too many off the top of my head but i will post soon…
