A lot of attention is given to the bride when anything about a wedding is mentioned. But what about the groom? Doesn't he get a say in the wedding planning process?
I am pleasantly surprised by the involvement of some grooms. They have even been coming to the initial meetings! I usually meet with the bride alone, or the bride with her mother and maybe a sister or close friend. It is always refreshing when I get to talk to the couple and find out all style aspects. Of course, the trained groom says, "Whatever she wants," but I am getting more and more male opinions, which makes for a very interesting mix.
Here are some questions that I find common among the men I meet with:
Do I have to wear a Tux? Can I wear a suit instead? Do I have to wear a cummerbund that matches the colors of the wedding? My fiancee wants pink and I AM NOT going to wear a pink vest and tie!
I don't even like cake---do we have to have one?
She gave me a big to-do list and I don't know where to start---can you help me?
My parents are divorced and can't even be in the same room together---how is that going to work?
This wedding is costing me a fortune! I could buy a new car with this amount of money! What a waste! (I actually had a groom say that to me---needless to say, the marriage did not continue on.)
And then of course, I hear the old standbys---
What ever she wants---I just want to get on to the honeymoon!
I can do whatever I want at my bachelor party---right?
Just tell me where and what time---I'll be there.
And the best one--- Can we set up a big screen TV at the reception? The Game is on that day!
