The Scary Truth Behind Wedding Accidents And How to Avoid Becoming a Headline

Weddings are meant to be remembered for joy, celebration, and love. Yet in recent years, an increasing number of wedding-related accidents have made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Fires caused by decorative lighting, food poisoning at large banquets, stage collapses, celebratory firing, stampedes, and thefts are no longer rare occurrences. What is most unsettling is that many of these incidents are preventable. As weddings grow larger, more elaborate, and more experiential, safety has quietly become one of the most overlooked aspects of planning. In the pursuit of aesthetics and scale, basic protocols are often ignored until something goes wrong. The reality is simple: a wedding without adequate safety planning can quickly turn into a crisis.

Butter Me Up: Rich Moisturizers for Skin That Stays Plump & Dewy

In a land of monsoons, Himalayan chills, coastal salt air, and urban smog, achieving skin that reads “hydrated from within” is its own kind of haute couture. The secret?

Think hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, squalane—the kind of ingredients top dermatologists and beauty editors swear by. In India, the quest is even more nuanced, because your skin is negotiatin...
