Advice For Men About the Wedding

The differences between the sexes may be evident in dating, but they are extremely pronounced during the wedding. There may be no other time during the life of a lifetime relationship that the differing points of view will be so divergent as a wedding. If the bride was not willing to elope or see the justice of the peace, then this advice is for you.

Weddings are not designed for men, the groom is merely an accoutrement like the flowers, gowns, cakes. Women have dreamt (even if the bride isn't a girly girl) of this moment their whole lives and have the way things will be already laid out. Doubt this? Just watch any number of reality shows dedicated to following weddings or consider that the wedding industry is a $70 billion dollar industry. Do you think there would be $20,000 weddings (the average cost of a US wedding) if men planned them?

What Is A Man To Do?

1. Men, accept that the wedding ceremony has little to do about with you. Just smile and show-up. Say what you are to say and stand where you are to stand. Trying to have your say or feeling left out is just a waste of energy.

2. Enjoy the parts that belong to the groom- the bachelor party and the honeymoon. Enjoy the bachelor party and make the most of it. Then plan and enjoy the honeymoon. Once your new bride has had her day, she will be more recognizable during the honeymoon. Consider the before and after of the event are yours, but the wedding is hers.

3. When you arrive home from the honeymoon, your new married life begins and beyond the advice of this guide. However, there will be wedding gifts to open and thank you cards to send. Helping with this is up to you, but to help with your expectations- expect all the wedding gifts will be for her. Unless you always dreamed of an ornate silver picture frame or a crystal punch bowl, then just consider all the gifts as hers.

Ultimately, for a man to survive a wedding it is best if he just adopts the attitude of accepting that day is not his but hers. The groom is just a component for the fairy tale, but he can use the time in his head to dream about the honeymoon.
