Tamales and a Side of Marriage Advice

The holidays are here and so are Grandma’s tips for newlyweds. Use these interview questions to get the most heartwarming & hilarious marriage advice to remember for years to come!

I can smell it already. The good food is coming. And so is the marriage advice from Grandma and all your aunties. Christmas is the time when extended family gets together to share good food and unsolicited advice. Now’s the time to break out the WeddingMix app and save that snarky wisdom to use in your wedding video.

Here are some interview questions to ask Grandma (modify for other family members):

How did Grandpa propose?

Where did you go for your honeymoon?

Did you make anything for your wedding, and if so do you still have it?

What are your secrets for a happy marriage?

Can you offer tips to my Future Husband about how to deal with me when I get cranky? Feel free to share a story from when I was young. 🙂

These questions are sure to give you marriage advice that is pure gold. When you re-watch your wedding video, it’ll be hilarious to listen to your dad explain how to make everything “coooool” after a disagreement:

…or your aunt giving a-little-too-frank newlywed money advice:

Now that you’ve gotten the secrets to a happy marriage, here are some tips on how to use those interviews:

Interview all the grandparents and parents on both sides about the proposal stories. In your video, you can interview your fiance, and include it in a montage with all the generational stories

If your Grandma still has whatever she made for her wedding, you may be able to use it as your “something borrowed” and film the two of you with it at the wedding

The weekend of the wedding, your guests can use the WeddingMix app and cameras to film marriage advice from each other. You can include these interviews with the ones from the wedding, so you’re sure the most important guests get included in the video, even if they aren’t able to attend the wedding itself
