After following our Get Fit Groom plan (you did follow the plan, right?), you've been sticking to a healthy diet, you're in the best shape of your life, and you're ready to rock that tux. You may have trimmed down, but your future bride may be struggling.  Planning a wedding and frankly, life in general, can be a recipe for stress.

The Good News for the Groom

If there was ever a time in her life when your bride felt motivated to look like Uma Thurman (though not an attainable goal for everyone), it's in preparation for her wedding day. The gyms of the world are filled with beautiful brides frantically skipping rope, pumping 10 pound weights, and working with personal trainers to get rid of that alleged "cellulite on my legs." Tap into that desire!

Hot Chick Tip:   Remember, grooms - you fell in love with her the way she is now.   It's not fair to expect her to magically change in time for you to marry her.   Plus, if you act overly concerned about how she'll look in her wedding dress, it will make her feel insecure.   You want your bride to feel confident and sexy and empowered, right?   So tell her that she's a Hot Chick (because she is)!   Make her feel desirable and strong, and we bet she'll get motivated to kick Uma's ass.

Sensitivity

The key to helping your fiancée lose some pre-wedding weight is sensitivity.   Every man knows how dangerous the question "Does this make me look fat?" can be. The last thing a busy, stressed-out bride needs to hear from the man she's about to make a lifelong commitment to is, "Gee, honey, you're really letting yourself go." Think carefully about how to communicate your desire to get into great shape as a couple.  

Hot Chick Tip:    Brides can be more sensitive than usual before their wedding, so be extra nice!   That means bite your tongue from asking "Are you sure you want that ice cream?" or, "You mean Diet Coke, not regular, right?"   Trust us; she already feels enough pressure to fit into that expensive dress!
