Something else: b/c I have a son I become irritated when I hear things such as "It's her day" or "the bride this" and "the bride that". It's the groom's day as well and some people tend to forget that. They're focused on the gown, the food, the entertainment and that's fine to a degree. However, it's the marriage that's important and there are two in that marriage. The groom gets shoved out of the spotlight. I think this in some ways contributes to the Bridezilla thing. It's all about her and he gets left out.
When the Groom starts wearing a Bridal Gown, then he'll get as much attention as the Bride.
I've Been Boo'd
I've been Frosted
Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.
When the Groom starts wearing a Bridal Gown, then he'll get as much attention as the Bride.
That's exactly my point. Too much attention is paid to the gown, etc. There are two people in a marriage. There should be less focus on the wedding frills and more focus on the marriage. A celebration of the day, however, is certainly appropriate.
Blessings, Mary
