Okay... so as the saying goes, men are from Mars and women are from Venus. True enough! But the angst you feel is gender-unbiased when you've started day-dreaming about the perfect wedding however all your partner has to ask you is about the restaurant you'll be dining in the next weekend!

Self-Analysis

- Firstly, get the hang of the entire concept of a marriage. Quiz yourself whether you're actually ready for it or are you in a haste to join the bandwagon just because nowadays, your Facebook feed has to show only dreamy wedding pictures of your schoolmates and college mates. ‘Cuz hello... we're talking about a life-long bond, not a two-day outdoor trip!

- Is he/she the one you could imagine growing old with or is it just another fleeting romance that would see a dead end in a couple of months? Before you begin throwing all those ‘co-incidental' hints at your partner, make sure that he/she is right person you're talking about.

Time To Drop Hints

- Randomly point out happily married couples when you're out together; exclaim about how good they look with each other. Talk matter-of-factly about your cousins and friends who will be tying the knot soon and how they've been coaxing you to join their league soon. Just by-the-way talks... you're getting the hint, right ;)

- Take your partner by the lanes that hold jewellery stores and point out at the exquisite wedding rings kept on display. If bae is smart, it won't take much time to him/her to decipher what's exactly on your mind.
- God has surely created common friends for the purpose of coming handy in such critical situations! Take the help of a trusted one and trick your target (T) into a conversation with your crime partner (CP). Make CP tell T (again matter-of-factly) how cute you guys look together, how awesome it would be to dance at your wedding... blah, blah, blah! Oh... and yes, don't forget to treat CP afterwards so that your mission remains a secret always ;)

- Nudge your partner when you land on the topic of kids. Does he/she like them? Does he/she see themselves as a parent? Their answers will give you a close insight on what they think about getting settled, which will make your work much easier.
- Shaadi season near? Whenever possible, drag your partner along to weddings where you're invited. No better place than a ‘shaadi ka ghar' to induce ‘shaadi ke thoughts' :)

- Take my word, people... jealousy always works! There's no harm in getting bae a little worked up on the idea of losing you.
- Last Resort: DIY! Bae is a hard nut if he/she still hasn't caught on to the hints that you've thrown at him/her. They will probably take another million light years if you leave it up to them; so it's better you take things in your hands and do the needful. Don't worry, we have your back!

Whatever you do, make sure you don't set a ticking clock for your sweetheart. Talk about the issues and work them out together.
