  • Shopping, shopping, and shopping: Before the wedding, it will be all about shopping, what to wear before the wedding, after the wedding, at home, or at the honeymoon. Your whole family will jump into it and drive you crazy with suggestions. One of the best ways to bind the whole family including yournanni-ma is to shop online. Try online shopping as some of the best designers are available there, along with the best deals. Indian wedding designer wear has become more accessible for people all over the country and in the world.
  • Your wedding will go as planned: Yes, no matter how the world climate changes or what happens in politics. Do not worry about all that, as you concentrate on your wedding plans. Ensure that your wedding planner is up-to-date on all the preparations. Give comfort to your parents and relatives so that they are relaxed and can enjoy the function along with you. If you are aware of the preparations, you will see that all is taken care of.
  • Life will NOT be as you expect it to be after the wedding: Do not expect life to go a certain pre-planned way, as life will change for you as you begin a new chapter in your life. New challenges and new personalities to deal with. People are different and mostly unsure of how to react to a new family member. A warm and welcoming approach can usually put all new relatives at ease. You will be surprised to find that there will be many who will teach you the ways of the household and habits of family members. It will be a wonderful way of learning about a new family.
  • A new beginning for you and your husband: Yes, this will be a new beginning for you as well as your husband. As exciting as it will be for you to be dressed up in a designer wedding saree that you have chosen with your family members, it will be equally exciting for your husband to begin a whole new chapter as a couple. Excitements at both ends may lead to disappointments. But, relax and take it as it comes, ensure that your excitements do not turn into expectations.
  • Enjoy your new life: Ensure that whatever happens, you take your new chapter as a new hope for a better life. Take your new family into your confidence and let them know about your feelings and emotions. You will be pleasantly surprised as they begin to understand you and learn to accept you into the family.
