When the Groom Plans the Wedding

Uh, oh, you may be thinking, what would happen if a man planned a wedding? Do you picture groomsmen in tuxedo t-shirts, kegs of beer, and catering by the Hooters girls? Don’t worry, that is not what we are talking about here! Many men are actually quite capable of planning a tasteful and elegant wedding.

Some brides either lack the time or frankly, the interest in wedding planning. Other times, the woman may start to make the arrangements, but become overwhelmed and stressed out by all of the minutia. If this sounds like you, and your fiance is organized and detail oriented, why not hand him the reins?

One part of planning a wedding that interests all grooms is the food. When a man makes the reception arrangements, you can expect to have great food, a delicious cake, and a free-flowing open bar. If he is not as interested in details like centerpieces and bouquets, do not be concerned; that is why you hire a good florist – she will know what to do.

Even if she has left everything else to the groom, the bride will have to choose her own wedding gown. Most brides prefer to keep the gown a secret from the groom. If you decide to allow the groom to see your gown, at least keep the final result a surprise from him. Once you add a beautiful veil, a sparkling tiara, and fabulous bridal jewelry, you will be transformed from a woman in a lovely dress to a real bride, and at least he can be surprised by how you look when the whole ensemble is pulled together.

As long as your fiance is willing and able, trust him to make your wedding day as wonderful and memorable as you have always imagined it. Allowing the bride to simply show up on the day of the wedding, radiant and stress-free, might be the best gift that a man could give to the love of his life.
