BRIDE-TO-BE BONUSES
When the pre-wedding frenzy has you wigging out, look forward to this jackpot of gems.
- Two words: gift registry. It’s impolite to talk about it, but the idea of scoring all that loot is what gets you through those days when you want to leave your fiancé on the side of the road somewhere far, far away.
- Calling him “my fiancé.” It’s much better than the ever-so-high-schoolish “my boyfriend.” Happy-couple perks. People are always giving you freebies and upgrades when they hear you’re newly engaged, such as bottles of champagne and free dessert at restaurants.
- Shacking up. Parents who kept you strictly separated for overnighters at home tend to loosen up and let the lovebirds share a room.
- Family heirlooms. Grandma’s pricey jewels and other sentimental stuff that’s handed down through the family gets passed to you at wedding time. And some of it’s actually good.
- Honeymoon planning. Think warm beaches, exotic cuisine, and having mucho, mucho sex.
