  • Support your bride to be: This is one point every groom-to-be must pay attention to. Brides are naturally under a great deal of stress. Try and be as supportive as you can. Just lend a listening ear; that is often the only thing most brides want. Offer your help where you can. Traditionally; an Indian wedding is mostly arranged by the brides’ family. However, if you go ahead and offer financial support it is going to earn you several points in your in-laws’ books.  Keep a positive and happy outlook about the entire planning process. This will help ease the stress the bride’s side is facing.

  • Handle the honeymoon planning: If your fiance has taken up the planning of the engagement, mehendi, sangeet and the wedding; step in and offer to arrange for the honeymoon. Nowadays, planning a great honeymoon is quite easy. But your wife-to-be is certainly going to be very impressed about your going the extra mile for helping arrange a wonderful and relaxing one. You can do this in two ways: keep things under the wraps and surprise her  or create a wish list together taking her preferences into account. In short: do your homework; know her destination preferences but also do what you both want and like.

  • Be a Buffer between the two families- Indian weddings are huge affairs and it is not uncommon for the stress to lead to petty tiffs and arguments between the parties involved. Maintain a positive role and try and act as a buffer between the two. This will certainly prevent ruining the special occasion for your bride.
