We can’t deny that it’s quiet a big deal to get married in India. The bride to be goes through A LOT! The earlier all excited and happy aunties, later crying over the fact that you are now about to leave your house (Babul ka Des) is quiet a not-happy sight.
The bride lives with both good and bad feelings about getting married as soon as the agreement of ‘Rishta Pukka’ happens. And this is not it! There is a long list of things that the bride has to make peace with.
1. “Kya karta hai ladka?”, “Khud ka ghar hai na?” “Kitni gaadiyaan hai?” “Saans ka nature kaisa hai?” “Tum log kahan mile the first meeting pe?”
You already have a cold feet at the moment and on top it your aunties will start grilling you with their questions.

2. You will go through a lot of anxiety over your decision to marry.
You are going to be your sensitive best.

3. “Kaisa lag raha hai ab jo tumhari shaadi pukki ho gayi hai?” “Excited?”
From an 8 year old niece to the oldest Mamaji, everyone will be excited to know how you feel. You will be asked this question so many times that you will avoid smiling while answering the question.

4. Love marriage or arranged marriage? Be prepared with your answer!
If they had a hint about it being a love marriage, they will still ask to confirm the rumour or to tell everyone that you are lying.

5. Annoying questions- “How did you meet the boy?” “How did you start dating”
Be prepared to share your love story.

6. And if they find the boy good looking they will ask if the boy has any siblings so they could find a good rishta for their kids.
Like you will really want to stay with their kids in the same house.
