A Young Mum's Guide To Attend A Wedding

Okay! First things first, I'm not talking about a cousins wedding where chachu, mamu, dadu n nanu swoon over the cutie pie or masi, didi, bua take her away for a zillion selfies.. We are talking about your boss's Son's wedding! (I'm just making sure that I have your undivided attention...)

1. Always have a Plan B : The dress you are planning to wear might be a way for you to show that you are back in your pre pregnancy shape, but your baby doesn't know that mommy is having a Kareena Kapoor Khan moment, and baby food doesn't really go well with the panache.

2. That includes Your Baby's dress too : No matter how much time you spent searching for that cutest outfit for your little one, she's the boss. If one frill or button twitches her, be ready to step into the wedding wearing a spare pair.

3. Don't go empty stomach : Even if the venue is  five star rated and the food is favourite on Times Food Guide. Let's face it, You will not b able to visit all the counters spread with a toddler in tow.

4. Don't feed the baby in car : Anyone living in city will know that unless you are lucky, the amount of time we spend on travelling is almost always more than the time you spend at the wedding. As tempting as it might be, if you decide to feed the baby in car, you're in for a diaper change as soon as you reach. What goes in at your convenience, comes out at your inconvenience!

5. Expect an embarrassing moment onstage : You'd think a cute baby in arm, your picture with the wedding couple will be perfect. You might want to consider the little one deciding to throw a full-fledged tantrum or pulling your hair or saree... Yeah, they have perfect timing!

6. Take help : The girls at the food counter and the cooing colleagues who find her very cute.. This way, you can have a few meaningful conversations you can remember..

As you are heading back home and you're watching her peacefully sleeping in your arms, you realise you wouldn't want it any other way.. Next day everyone filling your phone gallery with the most candid pictures of you two is just cherry on top.
