Life changes after marriage. And change is good. You find a new companion through matrimonial websites or through common friends or relatives, build new relationships, and encounter new experiences.
Things To Do Must With Your Best Friend Before You Get Hitched
Once you get married to start this new life, you might not have the time for your bestie. Not for a while, at least. So think ahead, and do all the fun things you want to do and re-do before you tie the knot.
Take up an activity together
You have been spent a lot of time with your best friend so you know exactly what you like. So, before you get married, try something different. It will be a great experience. Be it learning French, belly dancing, calligraphy, guitar, you name it.
Visit all your favourite spots
Take a big trip down the memory lane to revisit episodes of your lives as friends.
Favourite spots to visit with your BFF before you get married:
- The one where you shopped together for the first time
You found the perfect top and bought it and have been sharing it ever since.
- The one that served your favourite food
There is no bonding tighter than bonding over delicious food.
- The one where you went on a double date
You may have been in college or had just started working but it was a moment when you both felt so grown up.
- The one where you watched all the movies
It was a movie theatre you always went to because the popcorn was cheaper.
Go on that trip you planned once upon a time
College, exams, work, deadlines, all these things have come in the way of going on that one elusive trip you have been planning with your BFF. Now is the time to throw the planning stage out of the window. Pack your bags now and head to your minibreak. Just the two of you and no one else.
Try out karaoke nights
If you haven’t already done this, then what have you been waiting for? Singing in front of people and not getting boo-ed is the closest the two of you can come to performing at Indian Idol. Unlike the contestants, you can always go back to the stage as many times as you like. It would be a fun night for sure. It’s time to learn some song lyrics.
Try adventure sports
You never know when you will get a chance to do something crazy together again. Get out of your comfort zones and try something adventurous. Go on a tough trek, try bungee-jumping, explore surfing and make an attempt at flyboarding. Surely they sound difficult.
Prepare a dance number together
Of course, there will be one dance number with the entire group at the wedding but another one should be just the two of you. Tum hi ho Bandhu, Veere, Girls like to swing, etc. are great songs to dance on but how about you do something hatke like Mustafa Mustafa don’t worry Mustafa. Imagine how much fun it will be just choreographing it.
One last single ladies night out
This will be the last time that both of you will be single so make the most of it. Don your LBDs and take a cab straight to your favourite watering hole. After your marriage, you can always go on double dates.
Do a before and after photoshoot
It may be see seem silly at first but it is part of building a beautiful memory. Click a photograph together before the wedding in a silly pose and one after. Just to iterate, some things will never change.
Get a tattoo together
You can always give your regular friend a gift and say you will keep in touch. But with a BFF, you need something more permanent. Have you thought about getting inked with matching tattoos? Looking at it will remind you of your friend and make you smile. Some people have already done it. Let’s take a look.
- Matching best friend tattoos
- Always connected
- The important thing is that we stick together
- Heart to heart
- Partner in crime
- Night & day
