Nice Day For A White Wedding

It’s not only women who dream of their special day; we do too.

It’s not only women who dream of their special day; we do too.

As I’m looking at my precious little fat puppy I can’t help but imagine him in a tuxedo walking up to where me and my future wife will be standing and handing us our wedding rings. Very cute idea, very impossible to make it happen as he will be running away, begging for food or most likely just taking the rings and eating them because, well he loves anything that he can (or cannot) eat. See I have imagined my wedding day since I was about 16 years old, not in so much detail at first but that grew into something that formed a part of me; to share my life with someone and start a family.

My wedding is just 5 months away and the excitement is unbearable! The thought of calling her my wife is unreal, I still have to stop myself every now and then to just to take it all in and thank God that he sent her for me because it’s been a very long wait. Ever since I went down on one knee up to the point of just needing to finalise décor for our ceremony, it has been smooth sailing in all respects. No fights or disagreements or anything that we were warned about and that made us worry. Were we doing it wrong? I mean are we supposed to put gloves on and start fighting about everything? Were we wrong? Not wrong, just understanding of each other that’s all.

Every now and then I end up in a conversation where women are complaining about how they are the only ones who worried about wedding decorations, that they turned into ‘bridezilla’ and that the men were almost never involved or helped and I always ask the same question: “Did you even give him a chance?” See there is a gross misconception of men in the role of weddings. They don’t just want to pitch up and say I do, they want to be involved because believe it or not they have been thinking about their future wife for many years as well. Ok so maybe not all men, but there are many of them.

What you should know about men is that their egos are very sensitive and they almost always want to feel “needed” like to open a jar or fix a light, the same goes for weddings and romance and everything in between. Make us feel like we are worth your time and we will tear a piece of heaven from the sky and hand it on a silver platter.

Buddy seems very excited for the wedding and I can’t blame him at all, I mean my future wife is his new favourite and it seems we both struck gold when she came walking into our lives.
