  • Stylish onscreen grooms

    Let’s be real. Brides get all the attention at any wedding. There’s a reason there’s no such thing as a groom reveal, you know? Grooms might be the Kens of the wedding world but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate when they bring their sartorial A-game for the big day.

    Take these onscreen grooms, for instance. These reel heroes leave no stone unturned to complement their styled-to-the-gods onscreen brides. Dear future husband, please take copious notes…

    Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl

    Chuck’s sartorial choices have always blown us away. You look at him and he looks like he’s going to walk the red carpet, turns out it’s just a random Tuesday for him! Naturally, he was going to amp it up several notches for his wedding. For his wedding with Blair, he wore an ivory tuxedo with a shawl lapel and embellished bow tie in the most beautiful shade of blue, to go with his bride’s gown. As if this look wasn’t chic enough already, he wore pastel pink Oxford shoes (that’s right, pink Oxford shoes!) to complete it. There’s nothing not to love! It’s not easy being at par with Blair in terms of style, but someone's gotta do it.

    David Rose from Schitt’s Creek

    David Rose is like the human form of impeccable taste. While he mostly wears only black and white, his outfits are anything but boring. For his wedding with Patrick, David wore this chicer than the chicest Thom Brown suit with a pleated kilt. He paired it with mismatched socks, one plain black and one with white stripes, and combat boots. Trust David to break the fashion mould each time. If this isn’t great taste, we don’t know what is!

    Ross Geller from Friends

    While Ross may not have gotten his bride’s name right, one thing he did get right was this outfit. For his wedding to Emily in season 4, Ross wore a tailcoat with a light grey vest, matching ascot tie and pinstripe pants. While tailcoats aren’t for everyone, it flatters Ross’s tall frame, and the look has an old-world charm to it. Let’s just say this look is the only good thing to come out of this wedding.

    Ali from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

    Though we never get a glimpse of Ali’s full wedding outfit inAe Dil Hai Mushkil(we’ll forever remain salty), we don’t need that to know that he looked divine. Of course, it helps that he was played by Fawad Khan. He wore a beautifully embroidered black bandhgala sherwani and a stole (he also stole our hearts, might I add. Okay, sorry.) around his neck. We’re pretty sure it’s illegal to look like that.

    Jim Halpert from The Office

    Who can forget Jim comforting a crying Pam by cutting his tie in half after she ripped her veil before their wedding? He got married like that. This was his way of showing her that everything doesn’t have to be perfect for the day to be perfect. While you may think that impeccable style is what makes a groom look good, Jim proved that it's actually thoughtfulness (sorry, he’s bringing out the cheesy in us). We’re all for perfect wedding looks with not a hair out of place, but how can we not love this? BRB, crying.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    - Avarna Jain,
    Chairperson RPSG Lifestyle Media

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.

    - Avarna Jain,
    Chairperson RPSG Lifestyle Media

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
    THE NEW BRIDE.
