Your wedding should be one of the happiest days of your life. We all know that many Asian Brides spend months, (even years!) planning their big days hoping to have their ideal wedding in the place of their dreams. Sadly, however, despite all sensible precautions, things can and do go wrong, many a time due to factors beyond the bride and groom's control.

With the average cost of Asian Weddings now estimated at over £25,000 many couples cannot afford to lose this much money should the worst happen. Therefore an increasing number of brides and grooms are taking out wedding insurance policies to provide a safeguard should anything go wrong. What many Asian Couples view as an extra expense is in fact an invaluable and minimal investment that could safeguard you from significant financial loss, inconvenience and heartache.

Therefore amidst the many details involved in planning a wedding, it pays to add the purchase of a wedding insurance policy to your list. You may think the odds are you won't need it, but what if you do? You might be surprised what these policies cover, giving peace of mind to brides and grooms who, really, have enough on their minds without worrying about money lost due to the weather or a no-show mandap company.

Despite the long hours that go into planning every detail of a wedding, there are just some things the bride and groom can't keep from happening. Wedding Insurance cannot guarantee that people's special days will run smoothly but it is reassuring to know that wherever in the world the couple chooses to get married they have financial assistance and support should they require it, for a very nominal charge.

The biggest single financial risk taken is if the wedding day had to be cancelled or rescheduled. There are many reasons couples find themselves being forced to cancel weddings including illness, injury or bereavement of a member of their families and also cover if the bride or groom is called away on jury service.

Some couples have been forced to cancel all their wedding plans when the bride or groom suffered a heart attack just days before the wedding. If they had taken out wedding insurance, they could claim for the full cost of their proposed wedding.

Wedding Insurance also provides cover for many other areas associated with the wedding. Common claims made to insurance companies include damage to the bride's lengha, the loss or theft of wedding rings or the wedding reception venue becoming unavailable or being double booked.

Couples fail to realise that many venues will ask them to take out Public Liability insurance. Should there be an accident at the venue this area of cover would become applicable. Therefore this is a standard feature of most wedding insurance packages and is worth looking for when assessing which policy to take out.

With an increase in the number of couples getting married abroad in the country of their origin there an increasing number of things, which can go wrong between countries. Couples have experienced airport delays failing to get to their wedding destination on time, luggage containing clothes for the day has gone missing or the weather has prevented ceremonies taking place.

	Wedding insurance covers the rescheduling of the wedding for several reasons:
	Weather severe enough to cancel the wedding or prevent many guests from attending;
	Inability of important people to attend (i.e., priest or photographer) due to illness or injury;
	Changes in the bride or groom's job due to relocation or unemployment.
	A military bride or groom is called to service, or has their leave revoked.
	Many companies will also insure against terrorist activities and airport delays or shutdowns.
	Many policies will cover the cost of replacing lost or damaged wedding materials:
	If photographs or negatives are lost or damaged, some policies will cover the cost of gathering the wedding parties for the purpose of re-shooting the photos.
	Lost, stolen, and damaged gifts can also be included in the policy.
	Deposits lost to vendors who go out of business before providing services.
	Honeymoon costs when a wedding has to be canceled or postponed.

Wedding insurers often receive unusual claims and usually they can be counted on to react with sympathy. Such claims have included unexpected transportation costs for priests unable to get to the ceremony and settling nearly £4000 for a claim for the cancellation of the reception just before it was due to start when the bride fell and broke her leg as she arrived. As with all insurance policies, it pays to read the policy terms and conditions thoroughly so that you know exactly what claims will be paid and which will be excluded.

Don't wait until the last minute to call your insurance agent. Many policies have to be purchased within two weeks of the wedding. It is smart to purchase your policy as soon as you start seriously planning the wedding (i.e., shelling out payments). Also remember to keep copies of all contracts and receipts and maintain accurate records of all payments.

Your wedding is a big investment and one of the most special days of your life. You can't ensure the day won't go off without a hitch and wedding insurance can't prevent the unexpected from happening, but it can help cover the costs if things do not go exactly as planned. Wedding insurance can cover anything from rescheduling the wedding to problems with the cake, favors, or flowers.
