The Bride-to-be is NOT always chocolate, lime juice, ice cream toffeeyan

Yes it is True!!

The Bollywood and this country has stereotyped the brides-to-be as the over enthusiastic super happy girl who is excited AF for her wedding right from the time her wedding got finalised and announced.

Its like the only dream of the girl is to have a lavish wedding, plan her wedding to the tee, dress in sheer finery, look resplendent as a bride, go for a honeymoon, have children and be a part of a big happy family.
Man, we are so typecasted.

Here's breaking the cliche for you guys. WE GIRLS ARE NOT ALWAYS EXTRA EXCITED AND HAPPY TO GET MARRIED.
No we are not dancing to bollywood songs as soon as we hit puberty. Who dafuq sings chocolate lime juice.
No we are also not dreaming about our 'Mr Right' all the time. Yes, Kajol was getting paid shit loads of money to stereotype us by singing Mere Khwabon mein jo aaye. Yes occasionally we do dream about Ryan Gosling or James Franco but that's that.

In our growing up years we are not really made to believe that our only purpose in life is to be a part of someone else's life.

And no.. Absolutely not are we always so jumpy at the idea of we getting married.

The typical stereotype is that we the F gender are always excited to get married and the M gender, they are scared AF even at the prospect of marriage.

There are tons and tons of bollywood songs dedicated to the whole 'FEAR' that men go through when they are about to get married but there's not a single song that acknowledges the fact that girls are afraid as much as the guys are with the idea of marriage. I kid you not. NOT A SINGLE SONG on that situation from Bollywood who churns out billions of songs in a year for all the weirdest situation.

Its not that only guys are thinking about their ex when they are about to get married. Oh ya our beloved bollywood does not even acknowledge the fact that girls do have exes too.

Ofcourse we are made to believe that the girl is always so seedhi saadi that all her life she was saving herself just for that one person and was waiting for that one person.

Men, yes they are always portrayed as the casanovas and how they dated multiple girls but when they meet the 'right' girl they suddenly change.
Ya thats another one of our responsibilities. We hear this so often. 'Tu jaayegi na toh sab badal jaayega' Ya right as if I am getting married to save a family, to do some kinda social service.

So let me sum it up for you people. Marriage for a girl is not about all the makeup, mehendi and lehenga. Its not about singing songs and jumping all around. Its not true.

Its way beyond. Its a huge responsibility, a big change. A change so difficult that we almost forget how to dance in the process of adapting to it.

We are so frustrated with the whole wedding planning process that the stress makes all the beauty and joy disappear.

And we are equally scared to get married as much as the guy but we know at the end of it, it shall be all good.
