Dear The Bridal Guru,
It’s April Fool’s Day. I love a good April Fool’s joke. I would love to prank my bride-to-be. Do you think this is in bad taste?

Dear Prankster Groom,
I love a good prank. And it depends on what the prank is that you are planning. But, do you really want to prank your bride while she is in the midst of planning your wedding? She’s stressed out as it is. So if you want to prank someone, leave out the bride. Do a guy friend or a sister or brother or co-worker, but not your bride.
I have heard of some crazy pranks trying to kid the bride and they were not funny and the bride was hot happy:
- The gown shop called and they discontinued your gown and you have to find another (and it’s four months before the wedding).
- The caterer called and they have another wedding that day that is bigger. They wanted to know if you can move your wedding to another day.
- Your photographer’s computer crashed and he lost your bridal portraits. You need to do them again.
- Instead of leaving in a limousine like most couples, let’s do something different and leave in a four wheeler. I don’t think the helmet will mess up your hair too much.
- I have decided that the guys will all wear blue tuxedo and I will wear orange. (Dumb and Dumber)
- Did you say the bridesmaids dresses are this color______? (You say the wrong color).
Please be respectful of the bride and let her enjoy this time with peace and tranquility. Instead of an April Fool’s joke on your bride, why not send her to a spa for relaxation. That’s something she will enjoy. And she will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Now, that’s my kind of April Fool’s Day.
