Did you know that there are a few mistakes brides commit that drive their grooms up the wall? Here are the top four mistakes that brides make that annoy their grooms:

Not Believing Them When They Insist That She Doesn’t Look Fat

Justin: I don’t know if this applies to all brides, but my partner always seems to think that she is fat. I honestly think that she isn’t fat, and even if she were, I would love her regardless. On top of that, I offered to spend time with her to go to the gym or have a 15-minute jog, despite the fact that I am equally in love with my bed.

However, those comments always aggravate the situation and, somehow, I become at fault for stating the truth! I understand that she wants to look her best on our wedding day, and there’s a lot of pressure to be slim, since all eyes are on her. But I really don’t know what else to say! If I agree with her, I will be dead. If I disagree with her, I will be dead too. I did not sign up for this.

Going Overboard With The Crash Diet

Michael: A typical meal for her is one with no (or little) carbohydrates, lots of greens, fruits and green tea. Not only am I worried for her health but I am also amazed at how she manages to survive with such meager portions. Of course, her gastric pains, along with her mood swings, are more frequent than usual. And guess who bears the brunt of it?

Her bad tempers usually occur during the wedding preparation or anything related to the wedding. I usually don’t argue back because I know it won’t get me anywhere. Also, I don’t want her to feel worse about the wedding. She probably has a lot on her plate, and the last thing she needs is me being snarky about her diet.

Being Too Panicky About The Wedding Planning

Benjamin: I understand wedding planning can be very daunting, since we are all first-timers, and panic is part and parcel of the process. But she gets very panicky over the wedding preparation, which is pretty out of character for her. Also, she insists that I am not partaking in the wedding preparation since I am always ‘relaxed’ and always occupied with other activities.

Let me clarify for the sake of mankind (or just grooms): We do that not because we don’t care about the wedding; we just feel that there is no need to be nervous about certain things. If I am stressed about the wedding, I don’t see a need to ponder the problem. I would rather play a few rounds of DOTA to clear my mind. Plus, there is no need for one more panicky person in the planning process.

Putting Others Before Herself

Timothy: Personally, I feel the wedding is just between her and me. Decisions should be made together and not be influenced by other people, family or otherwise. It isn’t because we don’t respect their decisions and ideas; they are entitled to them. But when there are too many opinions shared, it stops her from making a decision, since she feels obligated to go with one that pleases everybody.

For example, she took a long time to choose her wedding gown because her family members kept dishing out different tips and advice. All I want is for her to feel comfortable yet confident in a wedding gown that she likes, and not choose something she doesn’t fancy!

There you have it; the top four mistakes that brides make that annoy the grooms. Have you committed any of them? Of course, there are many mistakes that couples make together. In other words, mistakes shouldn’t be solely distinguished by gender,right?
