The Groom

Will your groom be involved in the wedding planning? A better question may be does he WANT to be involved? He LOVES you, but sometimes wedding planning just isn’t what a guy wants to be doing. You don’t want to force him to take part, but if he truly wants to help, listen to his ideas. He may have some good ones and you can at least give him the option.

If he chooses not to help, don’t think that means he doesn’t love you, he may just want you to make the decisions because he knows how important this special day is for you. However, more and more grooms are taking a bigger interest in the decision making for the wedding. This may cause problems if you don’t handle it delicately. You want a string quartet and he wants AC/DC; you want a nice sit down dinner and he wants a Bar-B-Q. Who gets to choose? Most of the time it is the bride is the one who has been dreaming of her wedding since she was a little girl.
But you have to respect your groom’s feelings as well. Since you are ready to live your lives together, you need to be able to COMPROMISE. Don’t let this be a source for arguments or problems. It is a special day for BOTH of you. Keep that in mind.
