Getting Married? These Are the Four Conversations You Must Have

Dear single girl, these are the four people you must talk to before you take the plunge.

So, you’ve decided to take the plunge. That’s excellent. So have a thousand and fifty-nine others, who are probably getting hitched on the same day as you – if you live in India and do some kundli matching-shatching, that is.

We don’t need to tell you that we hope you’ve thought this through. If none of your relatives live in the Dark Ages and bound you to a tree and made you serve Marie Gold, we assume you’ve had your say and probably done your fair share of lofty ‘nays’ and ‘naahs’.

But here’s the thing. Apart from all the conversations you’ve had with yourself – allaying your fears (and finding new ones), wringing your hands and downing copious amounts of liquid courage, there are some conversations you need to have with the closest people in your life.

Your father, for instance.

Or the sibling who’s younger and terrified at the prospect of your nuptials.

And what of dear Mr Fiancé himself? Isn’t there stuff you’d like to set the record straight on before you get married?

Here are four essential conversations you MUST have:

1. Father

2. Mother

3. Fiancé

4. Mother-in-law
