When it comes to wedding planning, the groom doesn’t have to sit in the back seat. In fact, he should be in the front seat with his bride.

Meanwhile, it will be pleasing to the bride as she witnesses her groom taking initiative about the wedding!

If you are having some problems in this area, here are seven ways to remind your groom on how to alleviate wedding stress.

Groom Tip 1: Have An Opinion (But A Constructive One)

For grooms, it is okay to have an opinion about the wedding planning. Don’t agree with everything because you are afraid to offend your bride. It is commendable to show respect to your future spouse, but it is equally important to share your comments about certain components of the wedding. Not only does it help you feel like you are a part of the wedding, but your bride will feel that she’s not alone in this. Besides, you will enjoy the wedding a lot more since you participated in how the wedding unfolds.

If you have nothing great to say, it’s best to not say anything. For example, if the bride asks about her wedding gown and you’re thinking that it looks just like one, keep those comments to yourself. Otherwise, a black eye is what you will get when you leave the bridal boutique.

Groom Tip 2: Participate In The Wedding

Apart from having a voice in planning, you should also meet vendors with your bride. Get to know what you are getting into and build a rapport with them. With a clearer understanding of what to expect during the wedding, you and your bride can make an informed decision without any communication issues. She will appreciate your presence and your efforts to actually know what is going on. Perhaps she might pamper you with a little kiss after seeing you work so hard, too!

Groom Tip 3: Groom Well And Shape Up A Little (Just For The Wedding)

While brides generally have the limelight and her wedding gown is one of the main features of the wedding, there’s the groom, too. How he looks is just as important. No matter how gracefully your bride walks down the aisle or how her wedding gown outlines her curves, the picture is only complete when the groom is well presented and looks dapper.

Having said this, grooms don’t need to have a fit and lean figure to look crisp in a suit or tuxedo. Just take some time off to do a few exercises to tone up. That way, not only will you look dashing in the suit or tuxedo, but you will feel more confident as you walk down the aisle with your gorgeous bride.
