Groom Matters

Ladies, we want to share something that is going to go a long way during your wedding planning, if you allow it to manifest. The man you are marrying IS the most important part of your wedding. Remember, he puts the wed in wedding, otherwise, what would be the point of your day? You aren’t here to marry yourself… or are you? We aren’t here to stomp on your wedding dreams, were simply letting you in on a secret because we have seen far too many of our couples fall into this trap during the wedding planning. The secret is, even though you may think the groom doesn’t care about this day, he actually does. He loves to know he is a part of the wedding planning. Now listen clearly—this doesn’t mean he truly cares about the napkin color and aesthetic because let’s face it he trusts your taste. What we are getting at is he wants to know you are thinking of him along the way of making decisions. He wants to know he isn’t forgotten up until the wedding day when you say, oh yeah, “I do” and yet maybe you were the bridezilla you never thought you would be the whole time. Don’t let this happen to you ladies, we promise you will regret it and the nights that could have been celebratory such as the venue you selected, the cost of wedding florals you agreed to or the cake flavor you insisted on turned into arguments rather than a champagne toast in your honor. You know your man… maybe he has a favorite bakery, a favorite signature drink he wants at the bar or maybe he doesn’t see what you see in spending an outrageous dollar amount on specific vendors. Whatever it may be, get his buy-in. Accept compromise. He loves you and wants to support every decision you make, but don’t lose sight of him along the way and allow your wants to overpower your relationship. Staying on the same page will never get you lost in the next chapter. After all, better together will always ring true.
