Advice for the Groom

Wedding Planning Advice for the Groom

The reason I am writing this article is because the majority of brides know their role in the wedding. As my wife and I planned our wedding, I didn’t know when I could step in or when I was needed. I will share a few lessons I learned so that you don’t have to figure them out yourself.

Who is in charge?

The first thing I will say about the wedding planning is that your future bride has the final say in the wedding decisions. As a groom, your ideas and thoughts are important. Your bride should listen to your thoughts about the plans but in the end, she should have the final say. Having said this, are flowers, colors and decorations really that important to you? Let her have the final say because she is the most important person to keep happy.

One Exception to Her Making Final Decisions

By now I hope you understand that your bride is the main decision maker in your wedding. I will however share one exception to this. You must set a wedding budget. If you set a wedding budget and your bride to be is going to exceed this allowance, it is time to step in. You can plan an affordable wedding if you try hard to find great deals. My wife and I shopped for Salt Lake wedding reception venues for months before we found what we were looking for. It’s important that your companion is happy. It is more important to start your marriage with some money in the bank. Let your companion know that she is in charge but that together, you will not exceed your budget. This will lead you to a happy beginning.

She will be stressed

Every engaged couple have one thing in common. They fight more after there is a ring on her finger. Planning a wedding is a very stressful task. When we are stressed we tend to get frustrated with those we love most. I have seen wedding planning stress lead to wedding cancellation. Please don’t let silly things lead to big arguments. Remember what I said earlier; are flowers, colors and decorations really that important to you? Do not fight over these things.

When your bride to be has had a long stressful day, help her relax. Agree with her and spend time with her. If you respond in this way, her stress will lessen. A happy bride means a happy groom. Your wedding day should be the most enjoyable day of your life.

There is nothing better than this

There is nothing better than seeing your bride in her wedding dress for the first time. She will be happier than she has ever been as she looks at you. There will be no doubt in your mind that she loves you. Being married is wonderful. Congratulations to you and your spouse. God bless you as you start your life together.
