Yes, it is the bride's special day, but I wonder how do grooms really feel about the wedding day. So do you think grooms should actively participate in the plans or just stay out of the way and let the bride do it all?

I helped on the logistics, which turned out to be fantastically plentiful. It was good to be involved because there were fewer mistakes and more invited people happier for the efforts in the details (not mine, but ours). I'm a detailed type of person, anyway.
Being busy helped me a lot to get through the nerves on that day. We were both busy that day, too, which made for special memories, as far as how well we work as a team.

Thing is, it is NOT the bride's special day.
It is the bride AND GROOM'S special day.
Not just hers.
My fiance is VERY VERY active in planning our wedding.
He is my partner, the man I will marry, HE has every right and every reason to be involved in the planning.
ONLY if the groom doesn't want any part of the planning should the bride take the reigns. Even then, she should confer with him about her ideas and see what he says.

My fiance has been involved in all the decisions for our wedding. I'm taking care of the details because I'm better at that than he is, but I don't make any decisions without him, and he'll do things if I ask him to (he just wouldn't realize they need to be done if I didn't tell him about them). He was quite involved in choosing the site venue, the menu and the determining the guest list. This isn't my wedding--it's our wedding. I wouldn't want to run the whole show even if he wanted me to.

My groom doesn't stay out of the way...our destination was chosen by him, our reception location and menu was chosen by him, our dj was booked by him, and he's doing alot of the other stuff also. This isn't MY wedding, it's ours, and we both need to feel proud and happy when we reflect on the most important day in our lives. He calls them his "man jobs"...it's a shame that more men don't have any interest in planning thier weddings, but they don't. My brother told his fiance 'just tell me where to show up'...so if you say that, you can't really complain about the plans, right?

I only wish I could have gotten my guy more involved. I wasn't the only one getting married! I wanted our wedding to be about US not ME.
Alas, once he'd set the date (and I loved him for doing that...it was how he proposed), he decided it was all about the bride and he entirely refused to have another opinion until it was all over. I had to sneak in things to please him. Like the cake question.
I mentioned an idea I had about the cake one day, and badgered him for an opinion until he admitted he really didn't like cake very much. He preferred fruit tarts.
I thought that was a great idea and decided on the spot we should have several flavors of individual fruit tarts instead of cake. The hard part was convicing him I really liked the idea and wasn't sitting there resenting giving up a cake I'd only thought about and hadn't set my heart on.
So guys, if your lady asks you for your opinions on your wedding, please, speak up. You'll be amazed at how many of us actually WANT your opinions.

there are various stuff which you would be able to serve at a gluten loose wedding ceremony. there is no longer even a could desire to announce it! there are various gluten loose ingredients that don't flavor "Gluten loose" and the majority won't even word the distinction! honestly, do no longer worry approximately it! it is not egocentric in any respect! the final factor you may desire on your honeymoon is abdomen issues! definite, that is thoroughly usual so which you would be able to prefer to relish your self like all of us else! whilst i pass to weddings, I could desire to hold my own nutrition or put in a request! Then i'm getting "The look".....and the "you won't be able to consume THAT!" accusations. some human beings in basic terms don't comprehend nutrition allergic reactions. relish Your Gluten loose wedding ceremony and others will as nicely!

my groom chose our wedding location. so he is involve. i will pick out different settings or decorations that i really like and he picks which one he likes so he really has the final judgement on everything really. we are working together on things. sometimes he say i am acting like a Bridezilla if i can't find what i am looking for.

Most guys even when their brides beg for their opinion still will say, "whatever you want sweetheart."
