Indian Marriages- the most fun filled and exciting events of all. It’s been wisely said that ” the way to the heart of an Indian goes right through their stomach”. Indian weddings are famous for three things- food, food and food. It’s the famous catering and the delicious servings that make the guests happy-go-lucky and leaves an impression in their hearts with the amazing taste.
Deciding the menu calls for a proper round table meet and huge discussions as it is important to consider the preference of every member and th guests of the family.
