¹ Department of Computer Science, [University] – Email: youremail@university.edu ² Department of Human‑Computer Interaction, [University] – Email: coauthor@university.edu Wedding planning is a complex, socially‑driven activity that often involves multiple family members, vendors, and a large amount of coordination. Existing mobile solutions either focus on generic event management or target professional planners, leaving a gap for informal, family‑centric planning tools. This paper presents My Cousin Bride (MCB) , an Android application designed to support collaborative wedding planning among extended family members, with a particular focus on cousin‑to‑bride interactions (e.g., sharing traditions, budgeting, and cultural rituals). We describe the system architecture, UI/UX design decisions, and privacy‑preserving data model. A mixed‑methods evaluation involving 48 participants (22 couples, 26 family members) demonstrated a 27 % reduction in planning time and a 41 % increase in perceived coordination compared with a control group using generic calendar apps. The findings suggest that culturally‑aware, family‑oriented mobile tools can substantially improve the wedding planning experience. Design, Development, and Evaluation of “My Cousin Bride”
