Bridal Kit Checklist: 50 Things Every Indian Bride Needs

My bestie ‘Kavita’ who was married in our home town. I attended her marriage ceremony, ate to full all the varied dishes, danced and came back in midnight. Early morning, I had a call from Kavita and I thought what happened that she had to call me up so early when she should be in her In-law’s home. That call was a real shocked to me. I answered her phone and she asked me to bring a make-up remover as she forgot to put it in her make-up vanity. I told her, I don’t have it but she insisted me to buy and bring it to her.
                                         

                                     A whole lot of questions arised in mind that time about why she is asking me to buy, why not somebody else. Then I self-realised that may be she doesn't want to ask some stranger there as hesitation will be there. So I started my journey towards cosmetic shop and to increase my problems manifolds. Shopkeeper asked me same question, “Which one to give?” I thought “why are you taking my test uncle?”. As in those days, I didn’t have much idea about make-up. I replied him in unknowing manner “please give me anyone”. He handed over to me. Similarly I handed over to my friend and finally her problem was solved. Happy ending.. Yaaay!!!

   

                                          This incidence inspired me for making checklist that every bride should have in Bridal kit so that whenever needed, she doesn't have to call her friend but just look her vanity only.
