As the weeks passed, the excitement surrounding Aditi and Rohit's wedding grew, but so did the challenges that came with it. Balancing family expectations, personal desires, and the intricacies of planning a wedding proved to be more demanding than they had anticipated.---**One evening**, Aditi sat at her dining table with her parents, poring over the guest list for the wedding. The air was thick with anticipation, but also a hint of tension."Why don't we invite more of your mother's cousins?" Vikram suggested, glancing at Kavita. "They'd love to be part of this celebration."Aditi felt a slight pang of unease. "Dad, I think we should keep it intimate. It's about the people who are closest to us."Kavita nodded in agreement. "I think Aditi is right. We want to make it special, not overwhelming.""But the more, the merrier! It's a wedding!" Vikram insisted, his voice rising slightly.Aditi felt caught in the middle. "I understand, but this is our day, and I want to focus on those who truly matter."---**Just then**, Rohit walked in, sensing the tension in the room. "What's going on?" he asked, immediately stepping into the fray."Aditi wants to limit the guest list, but I think we should invite more family," Vikram said, his expression slightly frustrated."Dad, we want to keep it small," Aditi reiterated, her tone firm but respectful.Rohit looked at Aditi, then back at her father. "Mr. Sharma, I think Aditi and I both agree that we want to make this day about the people who are most important to us. It's our celebration, and we'd love your support in making it special."---**Vikram's expression softened** at Rohit's words. "You're right. I just want to see our families come together and celebrate.""Of course! And they will, but let's do it in a way that feels authentic to us," Rohit replied, putting an arm around Aditi."I appreciate your support, Rohit," Aditi said, feeling grateful for his presence.---**Later that evening**, as they drove back to their homes, Aditi sighed, leaning her head against the window. "That was intense."Rohit chuckled softly. "You handled it well. Your dad just wants to ensure everyone is included.""I know, but it's hard to balance their expectations with what we truly want," Aditi replied, her voice filled with concern."Hey, it's a part of the process," Rohit said reassuringly. "We'll figure it out together. Just like we've been doing."---**As the days turned into weeks**, they faced more challenges, from deciding on the wedding venue to navigating family dynamics. Ananya helped keep things light, often joking about the trials of wedding planning."Just think, soon you'll be Mrs. Kapoor!" she teased one day as they sat in the garden, discussing flower arrangements.Aditi laughed, "That sounds strange but exciting! I can't wait to start this new chapter.""But remember, it's okay to be a little selfish about this. You deserve the wedding of your dreams," Ananya reminded her, her expression serious for a moment.---**Meanwhile**, Rohit was dealing with pressure from his parents regarding their home renovations. Meera Kapoor had insisted that the renovations be completed before the wedding, believing it would create a better environment for their new life together."Mom, we'll get to it! But we have so much going on right now," Rohit said during one of their discussions."Rohit, you need to prioritize this," Meera insisted, her tone sharp. "Aditi's family will expect it to be perfect."Rohit sighed, feeling the weight of his mother's expectations. "I want it to be perfect too, but I can't rush through everything. It's not just about the house; it's about us."---**Back at home**, Aditi felt the strain on both sides. One evening, she and Rohit found themselves sitting in a cozy corner of the living room, exhausted after a long day of planning."I don't know how we're going to manage everything," Aditi confessed, rubbing her temples. "It feels like we're being pulled in so many directions.""Hey, let's take a step back," Rohit said, taking her hands in his. "We can handle this together. We just need to communicate what we truly want.""I appreciate that, but sometimes it feels like everyone has an opinion," Aditi admitted, frustration creeping into her voice. "It's overwhelming."---**Rohit leaned closer**, his expression softening. "Let's make a pact. No matter what, we focus on us first. The wedding, the house—it can all wait if it means we're okay."Aditi looked into his eyes, seeing the sincerity in his words. "You're right. We can do this. Together."---**In the days that followed**, they began to set boundaries. Aditi talked to her parents about the guest list, ensuring they stayed true to their vision. Rohit handled his parents' expectations about the house renovations, emphasizing that they would get it done after the wedding, prioritizing their time together first.They also started to incorporate little romantic gestures into their routine. Whether it was leaving sweet notes for each other or planning spontaneous dates, these moments allowed them to reconnect amidst the chaos.---**One evening**, while preparing dinner together, Aditi turned to Rohit with a smile. "I love cooking with you. It's one of my favorite things.""Same here! We should do it more often," Rohit replied, tossing some spices into the pan. "Plus, it's a great way to bond."As they cooked, laughter filled the kitchen. Aditi playfully splashed water at Rohit, who responded by pretending to be offended, leading to a playful food fight that left both of them giggling and covered in flour.---**As the night drew to a close**, they sat on the floor of the kitchen, enjoying the meal they had prepared together. Aditi felt a sense of contentment wash over her."This is what I want," she said softly, looking at Rohit. "These little moments make everything worthwhile."Rohit reached for her hand, intertwining their fingers. "I couldn't agree more. No matter what happens, we'll face it together."---**As they settled in for the night**, Aditi felt grateful for the bond they were building. She realized that navigating challenges was an integral part of their journey together. With each obstacle they faced, their love only grew stronger.---**The following week**, they received a surprise visit from Ananya, who arrived with a box filled with wedding magazines and ideas. "I thought we could plan a fun night!" she announced cheerfully.Aditi grinned, excited at the prospect. "That sounds perfect! I could use a distraction."Rohit raised an eyebrow. "Just make sure it's not a full-on planning session, okay?""Promise! Just a fun brainstorming session," Ananya said, her eyes twinkling.---**As they spent the evening together**, laughter and creativity flowed. They flipped through magazines, marking pages with ideas for decorations, themes, and dresses. Aditi felt a renewed sense of energy as she shared her dreams with her friends."Imagine this color scheme with fairy lights everywhere!" Ananya exclaimed, her enthusiasm infectious."Or how about a dance floor under the stars?" Aditi added, her eyes sparkling with excitement.Rohit watched them, a warm smile on his face. He realized how much Aditi thrived in these moments, and it filled him with happiness to see her so animated.---**As the night wore on**, they made plans to visit potential venues and dress shops. Aditi felt a flutter of excitement at the thought of the adventures ahead, knowing that with Rohit by her side, every challenge would be worth it.---**In the midst of all this**, Aditi also made a conscious effort to spend quality time with Karan, wanting to ensure he felt included in their journey. One afternoon, they went for a walk in the park, sharing laughs and memories."Are you excited about the wedding?" Aditi asked, nudging her brother playfully."Definitely! I can't wait to see you two tie the knot," Karan replied, a grin stretching across his face. "It'll be epic!""Just wait till you see the dance-off Rohit and I have planned," Aditi teased.---**As they approached a beautiful sunset**, Aditi felt a wave of gratitude. "I'm really glad you're part of this, Karan. You mean a lot to me.""Same here, Aditi. I'm proud of you," he said sincerely.---**That evening**, Aditi reflected on how far they had come. The wedding plans, the family dynamics, and the love she shared with Rohit all intertwined to create a tapestry of memories. She was excited for what lay ahead, knowing that every moment was leading them closer to their forever.
