Why you and your Friend should plan your wedding around the same time
Growing up together with your childhood sweethearts is perhaps one of the best experiences of your life. From understanding what menstruation is to crushing on men…you have done it all together. That’s the exciting part of having a close bunch of female friends. No matter what profession you choose, no matter wherever you are, you remain the same old close friends.

So you both have found your respective prince charming and are all set for the new life? Spending the last few months of spinsterhood is a tough challenge and full of dilemmas.
On one hand, you can’t wait to get married to the love of your life, on the other, your marital status will change, you will have a new family which calls for additional responsibilities. It’s not a careless messy life anymore. What can be better than adding a little twist and fix your wedding dates closely, perhaps in a gap of 2-3 months?

(1) From Miss to Mrs:
Spending the last days of your life isn’t that easy. You have your wedding preparation going on and at the same time, tons of bachelor parties to attend.
