Things to Look Forward To After your Wedding

1) The Honeymoon: Big Fat Indian weddings are HECTIC.  You’ve hardly had any privacy with your better half. So, what better way to spend some quality time with him than at the honeymoon before you gets drawn into the nitty-gritty of the daily routine? Honeymoons are perfect for relaxation, and after dealing with the inevitable stress of wedding planning, a little pampering is definitely needed.

 2) The post wedding rituals: Indian wedding celebrations do not end with the Reception; they continue for almost over the entirety of the first year. These post wedding rituals can be fun and you will get chance to spend good time with your family.

 3) Wearing the Mangalsutra/wedding ring/ sindoor : Now that you are a “Mrs”, it is indeed fun displaying the Mangalsutra, the wedding ring and the Sindoor. Hey- you even get to change your name on all documents (as well as your social media pages) and tick the ‘Married’ box on official forms!

 4) Viewing the Photo album/Wedding DVD together: While the Smartphone has made it possible to view pictures instantly; it is an entirely different matter going through the wedding album together. You almost certainly must have missed many events which you can catch up through the wedding video CD.

 5) Snacking without the guilt: Now that your D-day is over, you can relax a bit and have all the sugary carbs that you have been avoiding for getting in shape for the wedding day.

 6) Changing your hairstyle: You no longer have to continue growing your hair (a “traditional must-have” for most Indian brides), you can change your hairstyle and can experiment your looks in whatever way you feel like.

 7) Opening the presents: It is the perfect time to open the wedding gifts and even start using some of them.

 8) Cooking for him: The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. You will look forward to cook all ‘his’ favorite dishes. Why not cook together, while you are at it?

 9) Setting up the home together: It is so much fun shopping and setting up the home after marriage.

 10) Introducing each other as ‘husband’ and ‘wife’: This is one thing so many new brides (and grooms) look forward to after their wedding day.

The wedding celebrations might be over, but the marriage is forever and you will (and must) certainly celebrate it through the lifetime.

Tips for your wedding day…

1. Wake up refreshed. Get to bed at a decent hour the night before so you can be your best.

2. Eat a breakfast that is high in protein and complex carbs. This food will take a while to break down in your body and keep you going, which is Important since you can go long periods without eating.

3. Give yourself plenty of time to get ready. You want to be able to relax and have a good time with your bridesmaids, not stress over whether you'll finish in time.

4. Make sure you try your bridal makeup, hair and dress in advance so that on your wedding day the process is smooth.

5. Wear a dress shirt when getting your hair styled. Brides often wear T-shirts that have to be pulled over their freshly coiffed hair at the end. Dress shirts, however, can be unbuttoned without doing any damage to you.

6. Don’t overdo the perfume. Heavy perfume can make you feel nauseous and even attract bugs.

7. Don’t forget your wedding day survival kit.

8. Take a few selfies. These candid shots make a fun counterpoint to your photographer's stylized professional shots.

9. But other than that, put your phone away. Nothing is happening that's more important than your wedding, OK?

10. Get loose before you walk down the aisle. Do some light stretching to release tension and get your blood flowing so that you don't —gasp — pass out.

11. Be magnanimous. Greet everyone with a smile even if it's your second cousin whom you haven't spoken to in a couple years because she said that thing. No one likes an angry bride, and you won't like being one either.

12. Keep one person close to you all the time, be it your cousin or friend who has good rapo with you so that they will exclusively look after your personal things. They can even help you to relieve your tension.

13. Appoint someone to save you from chatty guests. Inevitably someone, whether it's your great aunt  or the dad of your old college roommate, will talk your ear off seemingly unaware it's your wedding day. That's why having someone to politely pull you away is a must.

14. Have a moment with each of your parents.

15. Remember why you’re there. Amid all of the fun and celebration be sure to take a moment to look over at the person you're pledging your life to and reflect on the incredible journey that lies ahead of you both.

Tips to Strengthen your bond with your in laws

A wedding is a great occasion for two different people to come closer. And along with it comes the coming together of two families with versatile personalities. It’s a balancing act for you as a new bride to adjust in a new home. As a daughter in law you need to keep certain things in mind while dealing with your in laws. Your spouse’s family is now your extended family, and molding your life around them is imperative. A few tips on this aspect will help you strengthen your bond with your in laws.

It’s your home so don’t treat yourself as a guest in the new home. Don’t be indifferent.

Getting up on time is a golden rule you must follow.

Every family has a set of unwritten rules to follow. Ask your spouse about the general principles that are followed in the family.

You need not make your spouse your mouth piece for every small thing to be told in the house.

Speak for yourself. Be open to suggestions.

Be soft and tolerant. Accept and act. Impulsive outbursts will do no good.

Have patience. Let it not be my family or your family; make it as our family.

Be yourself and go with your understanding nature. Be cordial.

Accept that things will be different and may change for the better.

Mutual understanding and genuine interest in making things work should earn you brownie points as a newlywed.

Dress according to the occasion. Poor dressing sense can be a big turn off. You can always make things easier if you discuss the dress code with your mother in law before hand.

Drawing parallels and constant comparisons will put you in bad light. Harping on the negatives of somebody or something is a strict no no.

Following these basic ground rules will team you well with your in laws. Trust begets trust, and therefore maintains positive relationships with your in laws.

Emergency items you need to carry on your wedding day

Most Indian weddings are held in a marriage hall, a resort, at a hotel, and, nowadays, even in exotic locales. Naturally you and your family must carry everything you need to this venue. Here are a list of items which you as a bride must carry; most of these are ignored, forgotten or not given due importance:

Painkillers: A typical Hindu ceremony involves lot of things like dealing  with smoke, hymns and long hours. By the end of it, you may have a migraine or headaches or feverish… So better you carry of your emergency medicines to the venue…

Safety Pins: Indian wedding dresses like lehengas and saris with long “palloos” definitely need to be hitched up so that you are comfortable. Your professional makeup artist/stylist will definitely carry safety pins, but it is essential that you keep these handy too, so you can quickly fix your attire (yourself) during the ceremony.

Makeup items, extra Bindis etc: weddings are quite emotional, and you don't want your mascara running (especially during the Vidaii ceremony). Make sure you carry the right shade of lipstick, blush, mascara etc so that you can do ‘quick touch ups’ every now and then. Bindis tend to fall off too, so keep extra ones handy.

Deodorant/perfume: If you are wearing fresh flowers (especially jasmines) then you probably won’t need these but tiny Deo-sticks can help keep your underarms dry.

Eye-drops: wedding ceremonies have you sitting around the fire and a great deal of smoke. Do carry a tiny bottle of eye drops so your eyes do not appear red.

Gums and mints/mouth-fresheners: You should not have bad breath on your special day. These items can ensure that!

Facial tissues: Everyone knows how necessary these are-you can dab sweat, wipe off extra makeup or even your sweaty/ clammy hands.

Talcum powder: This item comes in handy for dabbing off oil/food spills from your expensive bridal attire- helps you get stains off quickly, at a later stage.

Glue sticks/scissors, tape: There isn’t much you can do about a broken shoe heel (other than change your shoes) but glue sticks, tapes and scissors can come in handy when fixing small jewelry items. In many Indian weddings. So, craft items like these can be helpful in fixing stuff that might have been damaged during the commute from home to the venue.

A few snack items: You as a Bride will usually get to eat last (which is the norm in most Indian wedding ceremonies) so make sure you keep a bottle of water, a small snack (chocolate bars, cookies, apples etc) for a quick bite every now and then.

These are just a few bridal emergency kit items.

Additionally, you may carry hand sanitizes, sunscreen, antacids, moisturizers, nail paint remover, cotton balls etc.

This kit will help you to have a memorable day which is flawless and perfect in every way!

A DAD’S SPEECH AT HIS DAUGHTER’S WEDDING

I thought I would start my speech by addressing you as the “new” family of my daughter. But I think it would be inappropriate because now that she is married, you are “the family” for her. Believe me; I don’t have a problem with that. I, in fact, want my daughter to have “you” as her priority now. Its time for us to take a backseat in her life. We would happily accept it but would surely request one thing- please keep her happy!
I am more than sure that you will keep her very happy. She will perhaps be happier than what she used to be here. But like all fathers, I obsess over my daughter’s happiness which is making me say this over and over again- please keep her happy!

She never was and will never be a burden for me. She is in fact the reason why I breathe and smile. I am getting her married because this is what the law of nature demands. I am helpless in the face of our culture and therefore sending her to your home. She was the happiness of my home and will now light up your home. I am giving my world to you. Please make sure it remains beautiful. I am giving away my princess to you. Please make sure she stays as a queen. I have raised her with my sweat and blood and now she is wonderfully perfect. For all the care, love, beauty and warmth my daughter will bring into your lives, I just want her happiness in return—please keep her happy!

If at times you think that my daughter has said or done something wrong, feel free to scold her. But handle her with love. She is very fragile. If at times she feels low, be with her. She just needs a little bit of your attention. If at times she feels sick, show her some care. It’s the medicine that works best for her. If at times she fails to fulfill a responsibility, feel free to chastise her. But empathize with her. She is still learning. Do
understand her—please keep her happy!

I don’t mind if I don’t get to see her for months. I don’t mind if I am not able to talk to her on a daily basis. I would be more than happy if she doesn't remember me much. But, my only motive in life has been my daughter’s happiness which is now in your hands. I beg you, please keep her happy!

Dear son-in-law, these words may not mean much to you now but if you are lucky enough to father a daughter someday, you will appreciate them better when you will find every beat of your heart shouting – “please keep her happy”!
-- Dedicated to all fathers
