Isn't it his day too? What if your groom wants to do more than pick his own tux?
Once I accompanied a young couple for their tasting. We sat down at a beautifully appointed table. The server provided the preselected courses for the couples review and we began to confirm the preferred choices for the final menu selection when all of a sudden the bride becomes completely unglued. Why you ask? As best I can tell the groom had the audacity to select his choice of accompaniment for his entrée selection. “You can’t have the rice! It’s my wedding and we will be having garlic mashed potatoes and that’s final!” Are you serious? What is the harm in allowing your groom to make a choice or two? Yes, I know “my groom says it’s my day and he doesn’t care or he keeps messing up the two things I asked him to do already.”
More often than not, your groom will not be as excited about the wedding planning as he is about making you is wife. Lately, there have been a growing number of grooms who want to take a more active role in planning the big day (with a handful taking complete control over the planning but that’s still few and far between so ladies don’t become totally unglued yet:-) What better way to begin your new life than to have dual participation for such a special day. So for grooms who want to take a more active role but have no clue where to start there are lots of great sites just for you. One of my favorites is the http://www.themanregistry.com/, it's a fantastic online resource that offers grooms guidance and advice on everything related to wedding planning (from how to select the perfect engagement ring to resources for planning the honeymoon) and all from a man's point of view.
So ladies you have no reason to cringe when your groom says he wants to help out more with your special day but just in case you're still not having that:
