Ranchi: This summer, the wedding season will clash with Lok Sabha elections, spurring wedding planners across the state capital to prepare contingency plans. There are nine wedding dates between April 16 and April 30, and 12 wedding dates in the month of May.“The major problem will be in ensuring hassle-free commute for the guests. Usually, wedding parties are ferried in big vehicles like buses, but due to the elections, we are offering our clients the option of using smaller cars. We have also planned to use tempos to transport materials such as decorative items,” Vikas Agarwal of Shubh Labh Creations, a Ranchi-based wedding planning group, said.With political leaders on the move to attend rallies and gatherings, booking hotel rooms will also be a challenge. “But no one will cancel their weddings for the polls . If the planning is done well, there would not be any hiccup,” said Shubham Gupta of Vivaah.With everyone from flower arrangers to labourers in demand, both at the weddings and political rallies, the charges are expected to shoot up in the coming weeks.Nasif Ahmed, owner of Ranchi-based A&N Signature wedding, has his plan ready. “Labourers will be difficult to get and the work we usually complete in a day may take longer. This is the reason we will begin preparing for the weddings, a few days in advance. The extra few days will give us the opportunity to be ready on time,” Ahmed said.
