The day is about the couple and not just the bride after all. A wedding is a union between couples for life. As people gather to celebrate that bond, should the man sit idle and discover detail after detail about the ceremony and reception for the first time? I think not. The wedding should be a tangible manifestation of your love for each other. Sound corny? Maybe so, but why else would you go through with an elaborate event other than to represent how you both act, think and feel together?
As the man, do you want to sit back and have her signature all over the entire affair? If the day is a success, the guests will have her to thank, or her mother. You cannot take pride in having helped to plan your own wedding. Even worse, if something goes wrong, your bride will have herself to blame.
You may not be held accountable but without having participated, you will look like a loser who let his woman do everything. What kind of message does that send to her and her family?
The point is that the wedding should sink or swim based on the dual input of both the bride and the groom. No matter how hard you worked to find an engagement ring and offer the perfect proposal, it will go to waste unless you demonstrate similar enthusiasm for the wedding. Cold feet aside, the day will not hold the same significance unless you add your personal touch and consultation to make it a memorable event for you both.
