The grand halls of the Rambagh palace echoed with anticipation as Devanshi awaited the arrival of the wedding planner. Anaya, her sister, Shahneel, her sister-in-law, and Mehak, her friend, had all gathered to assist with the wedding planning. The air was filled with excitement and the promise of a magical celebration.

As the clock struck noon, the door to the hall swung open, and the wedding planner entered, her presence commanding attention.

"Welcome, welcome!" Devanshi exclaimed, her voice filled with warmth as she greeted the wedding planner. "I hope you aren't tired of all the traveling."

The wedding planner smiled warmly at Devanshi's greeting, her eyes twinkling with excitement. She replied, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "I must say, this palace is absolutely breathtaking. It's the perfect setting for a fairytale wedding."

"Kanika, Yug meet Anaya, my sister. This is Shahneel, my to be nanand and Mehak, shes one of my best friends." Dev introduced everyone.

Anaya, Shahneel, and Mehak nodded in agreement, their faces alight with excitement as they exchanged eager glances. They had all been eagerly awaiting the wedding planner's arrival, knowing that her expertise would be invaluable in bringing their vision to life.

"So, let's get started," the wedding planner began, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "First things first, let's go over the itinerary for the wedding day."

Devanshi nodded eagerly, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she listened intently to the wedding planner's suggestions. "We want the day to be perfect," she exclaimed, her voice filled with determination. "Every detail must be just right. Humne ek rough planout banaya hai for three days celebration. Its a short notice wedding, but I know aap log isko perfectly execute kar sakte ho."

The wedding planner smiled warmly at Devanshi's enthusiasm, her heart warmed by the bride-to-be's passion for her special day. "Of course," she replied, her voice filled with reassurance. "We'll make sure that everything goes smoothly from start to finish."

As they delved into the details of the wedding day itinerary, Devanshi and her family discussed everything from the timing of the ceremonies to the placement of the floral arrangements and the menu for the reception.

"I think we should start with a traditional welcome ceremony in the morning," Shahneel suggested, her voice filled with excitement. "It will set the tone for the rest of the day and make our guests feel truly welcome."

Devanshi nodded in agreement, her heart swelling with pride at her sister-in-law's suggestion. "That sounds perfect," she exclaimed, her voice tinged with excitement.

The wedding planner nodded in approval, her eyes shining with excitement as she took notes on her tablet. "Amazing. Dev, call me when you settle with the guest lists? " she replied, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "We'll make sure that every moment is convenient for you two."

As the meeting continued, Devanshi and her family worked closely with the wedding planner to finalise the details of the wedding day, ensuring that every aspect of the celebration would be perfect.

From choosing the color scheme for the decorations to selecting the music for the reception, no detail was overlooked as they worked together to create a day that would be remembered for a lifetime.

As the wedding planner packed up her belongings and prepared to depart, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation building in her heart. With the wedding plans firmly in place, she knew that Shubman and Devanshi's special day would be everything she had ever dreamed of and more.

As the wedding preparations continued to unfold, the time had come to finalize the guests. Devanshi, Shubman, Anaya, Shahneel, and Mehak gathered once again in the grand hall of the palace, this time to review the wedding cards designed by Anaya.

Anaya beamed with pride as she presented her designs to the group, her eyes shining with excitement. "I've put a lot of thought and effort into these designs," she explained, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "Aur koi changes ho to bata do, warna final karo. Mai bhi thak gayi, itna kaam karke,"

The others nodded in agreement as they admired Anaya's intricate designs, each one more stunning than the last. "They're absolutely beautiful," Shahneel exclaimed, her voice filled with admiration. "You've outdone yourself, Anaya."

Devanshi smiled warmly at her sister's praise, her heart swelling with pride at Anaya's talent and creativity. "Koi kam-zyada kaam nahi hai. Jitna kar sakti utna diya humne. Aur 5 logo ki team hai na. Kiska load le rhi hai tu?" she added, her voice tinged with excitement. "Designs badhiya hai. Approved!."

As they reviewed the wedding cards, Devanshi and Shubman began to discuss the guest list, carefully considering each name and ensuring that no one important was overlooked. However, as they reached the end of the list, they came to a sudden disagreement.

"If we are inviting Sachin sir to puri family karte hai na, plus one doesn't look good," Shubman suggested, his voice casual as he glanced at Devanshi.

Devanshi's heart skipped a beat at Shubman's suggestion, her mind racing with conflicting emotions. She knew that inviting Shubman's ex-girlfriend would be a gesture of goodwill, but she couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at her heart.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea, Shubman," she replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "It might be awkward for both of us, especially on such an important day."

Shubman shrugged nonchalantly, his expression indifferent. "Bas shaadi hai yaar, Devanshi," he remarked, his tone casual. "We're adults. Itna over react kyu kar rhi ho?"

Devanshi felt a surge of frustration rising within her at Shubman's dismissive attitude. She knew that inviting Shubman's ex-girlfriend would complicate things, but she also didn't want to cause any unnecessary tension between them.

"I understand your point, Shubman," she conceded, her voice tinged with resignation. "But I wouldn't do anything, jiski wajah se humare close circle wale ya hum dono uncomfortable ho. And I don't want any unnecessary drama, Shaadi hai humari."

Shahneel and Mehak exchanged uneasy glances as they listened to the conversation unfold, sensing the tension between Devanshi and Shubman. They knew that the decision to invite Shubman's ex-girlfriend was a sensitive one, and they didn't want to exacerbate the situation.

"I think we should take some time to think about it," Shahneel suggested, her voice diplomatic. "Abhi ke lie Sachin sir ke naam se invitation banate hai. Bakiyo ka we'll see later."

Shubman nodded in agreement, his expression thoughtful. "You're right," he replied, his voice softer now. "We'll discuss it tomorrow."
