HANDS ON GROOM!!

Brittany , on March 17, 2016 at 11:24 AM Posted in Planning 0 14

My groom is extremely hands on to the point where it's becoming frustrating. It's feeling more like his wedding than mine. I've compromised almost all of my ideas to fit in what he wants ..he's been married before and didn't get to have a nice wedding so I get it, but my patience is starting to run out!! Please any advice for a young stressful bride?!

    Talk to him about it. Be happy he wants to be involved. Mine wants a date and time to show up. I even had to pick what he was going to wear. It's easier yes, and I love planning, but some input would be nice from time to time.

    Umm make sure he's aware its your wedding too. WE split things up and tackled some things on our own.

    "It's feeling more like his wedding than mine." Last time I checked a wedding is about both the bride and groom.... If you're feeling like he is taking over everything how about just talk to him about it? It's called compromising and you should probably be able to do that in your relationship before you get married. Just sayin'.

    Be adults, voice your opinions and compromise. If you can't make compromises for each other now, good luck in your future.

    It shouldn't be "his" wedding OR "your" wedding...it should be "Y'ALL'S" wedding (pardon the southern-ism!). My only advice would be to sit down with him and talk about compromises.

    No advice to offer there- but I thought this thread was going to be about a touchy, feely groom!

    You need to talk to him. You shouldn't be the only one compromising, but be glad he wants to help. I don't have any other advice except to talk to him tell him how your feeling.

    Mine is just being super picky about stuff. He said when we got engaged he didn't really care, but now I can't get him to decide on ANYTHING because one thing is off about it. The big hurdle is the venue. One thing can not be right and he hates it.

    @FutureLivi lolz. OP, be glad your groom wants to be involved. But talk to him about areas you can plan and areas he can plan. Early on, we made a list of what feel, features, size, etc we wanted. I narrow down options, then we talk through the final choice together. It's what works for us.

    I officially call my FH a groomzilla. I recently gave him a project for him to take ownership of. I'm less stressed now. Give him hands on control of some of the things you care less about.

    If you are feeling like there are no parts of this wedding that match with what you want, you need to talk to him and let him know that you'd like to choose a few things, too. But keep in mind that it's also important for your wedding to reflect some of his style, too. It shouldn't be all him, but it shouldn't be all you, either. It is a special day for both of you, so you need to tell him you would like to be making these final decisions together, and that you want to make decisions that incorporate both of your opinions. Like others have said, you'll need these compromising skills for the rest of your marriage.
