We’ve all seen those videos when the groom wells up with tears when he sees his bride-to-be walking down the aisle. We bet the emotional side of you goes awww, and you hope that your wedding will be this sweet.

And then you turn to look at your groom and think to yourself, is that even possible? Your groom has committed quite a few mistakes and it makes you wonder if you’ll ever enjoy a moment of relief, without the constant urge to smack him across the face.

Here are five bite-size accounts of what certain grooms-to-be did that made their partners want to pull their hair out, and fashion a whip out of it just so they had something to hit them with.

We are just kidding… or maybe not?

1. Nonchalant About My Wedding Gown And Evening Dress

*Tiffany: Sometimes I wonder if it was a good idea to bring him along to look at the wedding gowns or evening dresses. I can try on different cuts and designs, but to him it is just a wedding gown and apparently they all look the same.

What kind of logic is that? This gown has zero embellishments on it, no sequins, no crystals, no anything, and the other has lace all over it. How is it possible that there is no difference?

*smacks face with palm*

2. Not Giving His Suit Or Tuxedo Rental Much Thought

*Rachel: My guy thought the colour or design of the tuxedo/suit didn’t matter since ‘I will be the most beautiful one on that day’. He’ll just settle for something simple and picks off a tuxedo without much thought. I chose an evening dress in a rich shade emerald green. He chose a shiny tuxedo in a shade of maroon. I guess the theme of the wedding is Christmas…

I can’t deny that I want to be the most beautiful lady on our wedding day. Scratch that; I am supposed to be the most beautiful, most radiant, most perfect and whatever! But I want my partner to look good with me, and not appear less adequate. It would be nice if he cared a little about his tuxedo … unless he has a secret fetish for Santa, then I guess it is my downfall *crosses fingers*.

3. Playing With His Mobile Device When Asked For Advice

*Adeline: Whenever I am deciding on any aspect of the wedding and asking for a second opinion, he is always engrossed with his mobile device, playing whatever games he has recently installed. Whenever I ask him to stop playing, he just huffs and continues with the game! Are you marrying me, or the phone? Choose wisely.

4. Not Interested In Wedding Planning

*Michelle: Asking him for advice about something, such as the choice of invitation styles or my wedding gown, is equivalent to talking to a brick wall. And, I am pretty sure that there would be holes in that wall … the size of my fist.

I understand the lack of enthusiasm about the wedding gown, since he isn’t wearing it, but it would be nice to hear a few comments and be involved in the wedding. This isn’t MY wedding; this is OUR wedding!

5. He Thinks He Is Contributing By Staying Out Of The Way

*Hannah: My partner thought that it would be best to stay out of the way because ‘women prefer to be in control of the nitty-gritty details’ and he will only ‘make a mess out of everything’.

Honey, that is pretty sweet and partially true, but hey it is your wedding too! You can contribute a little by giving some suggestions, such as whether we should go with this hand bouquet, or if I should try another makeup style. I promise I won’t bite … unless you say something foolish, such as how I look like a whale in a certain wedding gown. That warrants a punch. Right?

*Not real names.
