Wedding Do’s and Dont’s
I was talking to my sister earlier today about the upcoming events in our lives (we are both getting married within a year now) and I think I got her a little upset with me. Now I did not get all the sleep that I usually have so I was possibly affected by that but my responses to her questions, I guess, were not what she was expecting. Some of the conversation followed this path (she will be C, I will be B)
C: So do you have a reception hall
B: Yeah we got that and a church set up
C: How much do they charge per head
B: I don’t know
C: You don’t know? Weren’t you there for the tour and all?
B: No Lauren set that up
C: You mean you had no part in choosing the reception hall?
B: No, I figured whatever she picked would be great.
Anyways this conversation went on and basically ended up with me stating as I have so many times before “Look, this whole wedding thing is for the girls, they have been planning it since they were 5, guys really don’t care just as long as their soon to be wife gets everything she ever wanted out of her marriage and honeymoon. The guy is basically in charge of honeymoon, rehearsal dinner and showing up on time.” She did not like this too much and stated that her Fiancee cared about the wedding and was helping out in many decisions. So I guess I am a rarity, but from conversations with other guys they are the same way (personally I think that her fiancee is playing “yes dear” so he doesn’t get in the dog house).
Mayeb Lauren and I are going about this a completely unorthodox way but I trust her decisions and try to help out where I can. She knows I have no fashion sense or taste so she doesn’t ask questions involving those, she basically includes me in planning and stuff as I have a bit more organizational skills than her. Oh well maybe y’all can set me straight……respond with your thoughts (as I know I have some recently married friends who read this)!
