Groom, stay out of it

April 29, 2007 By Bride.net

A conversation I had with a friend of mine who got married a few months ago… I will leave out her name so as not to endanger her marriage.

Her: I’m working on centerpieces for my wedding and trying not to yell at the dude i’m planning to marry. I don’t know why he thinks he’s entitled to an opinion.

me: He’s really not

Her: Right – I’m thinking hot pink roses mixed with soft pink roses for centerpieces

Me: So what does he want?

Her: He thinks it’s too much pink… So i said, “It won’t be too much pink if i shove them all up your ARSE.”

Me: That was diplomatic.

Her: I didn’t really say that.  I think I’m just going to have urinals at the men’s tables.

Right. Does the groom really need to be involved in the wedding planning details?

    Outside the guest list and not allowing the bride to demand teal-colored tuxedos (guys should wear colors that draw no attention to anyone other than the gals they’re with), I think if her family is willing to pay for it, he should be quiet.

    I was lucky. I was living in Los Angeles and engaged to a woman living in New York City. My responsibility was basically to make sure I made my flight and got to the ceremony on time. I highly recommend this.

    A groom could win a $10 million Super Lotto ticket and if his bride isn’t happy, he won’t be, either.

    I have a question for your gal-pal, though. Is there any arena in her future married life where she will accept not having an opinion? Or quietly acting out passive-aggressively if she disagrees?
