Eternally Yours Weddings and Events

We men tend to get a bad reputation when it comes to getting married it seems. Lets just face it about 70% of men either sit quiet when our future wife or partner is planning the wedding, or we use those famous words “Anything you like”  or “Its up to you.”

Hate to break it to you, we men care more then most think. We really do most of the time. I've planned weddings in second life as long as with in the real world and seem first hand that Bridezilla can be second to the Groomzilla. Ah yes the mythic Groomzilla, or as I like to call them the man with a back bone.

I for one am guilty of the “Anything you like.” Not because I had no backbone but because my wife's taste and mine were pretty close to even. Now if she would have done something I didn't like, oh she would have heard it. Alas though those words can be uttered because the groom really don't care.




A lot of men seem to go by the logic, I bought the ring or rings. Now my job is just to show up. That's really not how it works. If you think it is, there are odds that you are going to end up having a horrible wedding in the worst wedding colours ever. Have you ever seen the honey boo boo wedding between her mom and dad? Well your lucky if you haven't and if you have I do truly weep for you. Orange and Camouflage. Enough to make anyone with a little bit of taste cringe.

I can't explain how important it is for the groom to take part in the planning of the wedding. Help decide on everything! The colours, where it will be held, the music, everything. Speak up and just don't sit quiet. Just because it's her special day, doesn't mean it any less special for you and you want to be able to look back on that day and remember how beautiful your wife was, but also how beautiful the day was.

Also there sometimes a underlying problem that no one wants to talk about at all. The biggest problem I see is men getting married “because she wants to”. That is automatic
disaster, no exceptions. You both got to want to be married and you both need to be involved in the process. Its time to stop sitting back and giving the rest of us men a bad reputation. A relationship needs to start on equal grounds from start to finish so in my opinion, men help plan your wedding because you are building a future together. No better way to enter married life as equals.
