Blog / Who’s Wedding Is It, Anyways?


Girls have their wedding on their minds when they are very young. Many of them by age 12 have planned their own fantasy wedding, as they get older this dream might change a bit, however, it gets more specific as well. By the time the wedding day is here, they already know what they want their wedding gown to look like, what type of cake they desire, and even the location of the wedding. However, in many cases, they forget they have a fiancé to consider. Men are most of the time left out of the planning of the wedding and the bride, her mother, and her friends are in full control.

When you are ready to start planning your wedding with the man of your dreams, it would be nice to talk with your fiancé about his thoughts on location, colors, and attire. Even though a cake with beautiful pink roses, pink roses strewn around the room, and even used for centerpieces may be your dream, he may wish to use something other than pink roses for his remembrance of this special day.

Remember, this wedding is yours but together with your fiancé. You can discuss all the particulars with your mother and friends, but do not leave out your fiancé. In addition, this is your wedding and you should not allow your mother to take over just because she has also dreamed of this day for years.

Many mothers also plan their daughters wedding in their mind as well. They have chosen the perfect location, the perfect wedding gown, and in some cases, even the perfect groom. You may have to remind your mother gently, that this is your wedding. You appreciate her words of wisdom, but you have your own dreams.

Have fun; talk with your fiancé, your wedding party, and of course your mother. Then enjoy planning the perfect wedding that will give you and your fiancé a special day to remember for the rest of your life.

From my planning wedding experience, these concerns are unique to each of us because we are all unique.

Sometimes, depending on couples, some are able to cope alone. Other couples cope as a pair.

My experience was I do cope alone because I have the habit of solving problems myself and I try not to let it affect my family, including my wife.
