If you lived in a joint family that could rival the ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’ setup, then it is only natural to make sure your beau and to-be husband gets to know the happy clan well. The camaraderie will not only make him aware about all their ‘inside jokes’ but will also make him feel comfortable around them over time. If you are about to get married and would like your fiancé to bond with your family, then these tips would really deepen the ties.
