If Men Planned Weddings

[Relena7]

What would weddings be like if the grooms did the planning rather than the bride?

Then there would be more groomzillas. jkjk

Like Ritter said, probably less expensive.
If I got married, I would like it if he did at least half the decision making. I'm not super girly, and all that fluff and decorations and "perfect wedding" ideals aren't really important to me. As long as things aren't too stressful, aren't disastrous, and my bridesmaids don't have to wear anything they hate.

Clothing: Denim, lots of denim....and cotton, 100% cotton.

Location: Park, any park close to groom's house

Caterer: Dominoes Pizza.

Cake: Twinkies with whipped cream so they look classy.

Drinks: Bring your own.

Ceremony duration: 7 mins. tops....maybe less.

Songs at wedding: Here comes the bride only played on cell phone speaker, no dancing.

Flowers for wedding: Strictly plastic so they won't wilt, cost much and will last.

Vehicle to drive off on: Epic His n' Her harley's

No babies allowed to attend. (They stink and cry)

Registry for gifts: Best Buy

Mother in law may attend if she won't cry, give looks of death or yell.

Honeymoon: Two weeks of epic tuna fishing 200 miles off Mexico. (won't see land for two weeks, no shopping either).

I would imagine it would be almost exactly like this

 

[Nick01]

Definitely would spend way less on everything, with a larger proportion of the costs going towards food.

If it were me, would definitely have a mad musical jam session afterwards.

Depends on the guy arranging it.
Maybe he is creative and suprises everyone , truly every one.
Maybe he is very passionate and creative and romantic.
Maybe he wants simple wedding or maybe he is opposite and wants to make it so it can not fail and it be true beautiful union ceremony.

Would he choose and design dress as well.

Usually the parents plan in some cultures but that depends who you parents are and if they like you... lol or idf they are your real parents as such...

I would welcome groom plan wedding.
Would be refreshing, exciting, romantic, sweet.
If he was to choose my wedding dress i would let him and pray its not so ugly but he probably know fashion and design better than me.


I think that is great idea.
I would embrace it.
Ofcourse that depends on the guy.
If he does not really care less attitude then i would not be marying him in first place...?

uhhh wut?

if some strange reason I was to end up married (very unlikely) it would be very very simple.. courthouse chances are.
no penguin suits or any suits of any kind (I dont do dress up period its t-shirt and sweat pants)
no reception or any silly stuff like that.
no hordes of people annoying me.
simple get in get it done and get out.

Bacon themed. Bacon-wrapped wedding rings, steak, mushrooms and beer for reception, entertainment would be a mass game of soccer, football, dodgeball or baseball with all the wedding guests. A girls dream wedding (that steak does sound good tho..)

I'd like to say that not all women want to invite 500 of their closest friends. Although you get WAY more presents that way... and I like presents.


Maybe a big wedding isn't such a bad thing afterall.

 

[isaria]

If you have friends that is.....
The guys with no friends dont get none.
Do they even get married...people with no friends...
Possibly. probably.
Maybe they have family or maybe one of party has friends that they share with the other party.
What if you have 500 guests whom steal the wedding and trash it and secretly they all hate you and or all betray you.
What if you have one friend only who does the dirty.
Quality and quantity , welcome anyone and everyone , keep it intimate one on one with whomever performs the ritual.

Heard some pretty bad stories regarding weddings.

Would make it clear however, unwelcome guests are not to enter wedding or come anywhere near us.
That would be condition.

County courthouse.

 

[MrMalby]

Id call a woman a fool who would marry a man playing videogames and think its sexy. Cos its not.. lol

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa???

 

[NodMyHeadLikeYeah]

If a man planned my wedding, it would probably turn out better than if i had planned it.

All i ask is for yummy food, and no green or red.

One of my friends just called himself that...

I believe they would be less stressful. And cheaper...

 

[AzureAfire]

Very interesting thread!!! XD

Hmmm...i could imagine it'd be much cheaper (unless the guy is the type who has luxurious taste, or fond of showering his girl with lots of fancy, expensive things), kept quite simple (unless his imagination runs wild, and would want something that would make their wedding unlike any other), and quite intimate (unless he's fond of inviting everyone he's become friends with his entire life, adapting the adage "the more, the merrier" to the fullest).

It would be ideal if he keeps in mind the stuff that both him and his wife-to-be actually enjoy sharing together a wedding is, of course, not just for either one only, but for them both. They should absolutely love how it unfolds together, and not be ashamed to look back at it, playing a "shoulda, coulda, woulda" regret loop in their heads XD in my case, he wouldn't have too much of a problem making me happy with his wedding plans for us. I am no girly-girl, and i'm quite unconventional XD but i do want to see him really, sincerely, lovingly, prayerfully do everything to touch my heart that day

I hope that he'd absolutely surprise me (a really good surprise! That is my one weakness!!! ).

I definitely hope it's a nature setting, with the sky having the hues we both love.
Sweet and romantic, but with a lot of humor and reminiscing!
I want us to wear really comfy clothing that we could run with ('coz i'll make him chase me around ), okay to get wet in ('coz i just might push him in a body of water then jump in later myself!), and not tear in places (well, i'm not violent, but all the running and thrashing in the water might do some damage )
Not too many people, just those who are really close to us.
Lots of meat and dessert! no hard drinks!
Lots of dancing and excitement! multiplayer video games are cool!
We'd play along with guests, then eventually go in our private suite, set-up our console there, and play Skyrim until the wee hours i'm looking forward to all the in-game fighting!!! XD

And we'll be eating ALL the left over wedding cake (which would most certainly be CHOCOLATE!!! )

Yup. 2 kids will be getting married that day

[BillyTheKid]

If I planned a wedding it would be more like a funeral. Afterall its IS the end of freedom...... im joking. It would be cheaper. You can't make it faster. As someone posted earlier, they end pretty fast. No video games...I am a little old to have video games at something of that importance. I don't mind a tux, so they would stay. As for the Reception I think simple finger foods or some type of catered buffet. I think the funniest thing for guys is that they are convinced that a small wedding is cheap....not even close. I had a small wedding less than 150 people small and it still cost like $5k. That is a cheap wedding but still a lot of money.

Near a nice lake, open bar, short sevice, no overly expensive clothes you only plan to wear, and a bar-be-que/lake party for the reception. Zac Brown blasting on the stereo system and a bunch of good friends with their pickups pulled up to the edge of the water tailgates down.
