A Guy's Guide To Wedding Planning
Lucy Hamilton
Most women get more excited about their wedding than their male counterparts, but this does not mean that guys are off the hook because the details are not important to them. In some cases, men can be made miserable by the process, or their groomsmen may 'accidentally' be dressed in pink tuxes the day of the wedding if the groom did not take enough interest to participate the wedding planning. This can be a difficult time to get through.
As her future husband, you will want to be involved, but will probably not be nearly as into planning the wedding as your fiancé. To avoid some unnecessary friction, there are a few steps you may want to take.
Something you can do to help yourself out is learning what it takes to plan a wedding. Once you know about the process and all the items that must be taken care of, you can eliminate a lot of surprises and stress. You will be much more relaxed if you know what to expect instead of being covered in tasks to take care of.
Speaking with a wedding planner may be well worth your time. A wedding planner will give you a run-down of things that need to be taken care of prior to the wedding day, and how things need to happen on your special day. You should also speak with other married people, especially ones that are close to you, since their advice will be relevant to your tastes and personality.
Although knowing what to expect will help immensely, your fiancé will likely have several items or details she is set on. Your best bet can be to just go with the flow, unless she is proposing something you consider outrageous. In some cases, your fiancé may want you to be involved in every step of the process, down to what kind of flowers, what color flowers, and how many.
Although the flowers at your wedding may be of little consequence to you, this and other issues could be huge for her. One phrase you should learn to help you get through this time is, "What do you think." By asking this question you can see what is on her mind, because although she wants your input, she most likely still wants to make the final decision.
Planning the tiniest details of your wedding may not be your idea of a good time, but you can be assured that your bride wants her wedding day to be perfect, down to every last detail. If you do not want to be involved in every step of the process, you need to make this clear, but you will have to be somewhat involved, unless you want to get married in a pink tux.
