You are a woman on the verge of marrying the man you love.
You've been making plans for sometime, and you've noticed an important trend.
The man that you are going to marry has absolutely no interest in the wedding plans.
Does he really want to get married? This is the first question that brides ask when their intended shows little or no interest in the wedding plans, but this usually isn't the problem.
The problem is that weddings are rather feminine in nature, and males typically just cannot get excited over those small details.
It bores them, and this has nothing to do with their feelings about you, or their desire to marry you.
Many will initially show an interest, but quickly lose that interest if they are not being heard.
It isn't unusual for a groom to express his opinion regarding the wedding plans, and if that suggestion does not jive with what the bride or her friends envision, he is simply ignored or laughed at, like he wasn't serious.
This will drive him away from anything that has to do with wedding planning.
He will be content to sit back and let you plan the whole thing, and all you need to do is tell him the when and the where, and let him know what he should wear.
In today's world, because things should be equal, it's important to involve your groom in the wedding plans, but not to the point where you irritate him.
You also need to consider the fact that your groom may not feel comfortable sitting in a room full of females discussing the wedding plans.
Take the opportunity to talk one-on-one with him concerning what he envisions for the wedding.
Allow him to express his desires to you, alone, and then you can include that information in the planning sessions with your girlfriends later on, letting them know that fulfilling his requests is important to you.
You must establish whether he has an interest in being a part of the planning first, and this of course requires a private conversation with him, where you directly ask him how much of a role he wants to take in the planning.
You need to let him know that if he wants to be involved you welcome it, but that if he doesn't, you are okay with that as well.
Some men simply just aren't interested in the wedding details as much as they are in marrying you and spending their lives with you, and this is something that you simply must understand, without taking it personally.
