She Says vs. He Says: What do you do if your Mr. doesn’t think you’ve chosen the right gown?

Is that a good "ooh" or a bad "ooh" this groom is oohing? (I'm pretty sure that's a good "ooh".)










I know few future grooms who are ever shown the dress before the day, and even fewer who would be so bold as to go against what is clearly the bride’s heart’s desire, but an appointment I witnessed parts of the other day made me wonder- how often does it happen that the groom to be has a strong opinion on the dress to be, and he’s not saying “Yes” to the dress?

I mean, it has to happen quite a bit that what the groom envisioned in a bridal ensemble is not in fact what he sees walking down the aisle. Hopefully in the process of planning a wedding together most couples come to an understanding of what the ”vision” is for the day, or in the process leading up to the wedding both sides have embraced the differences in personal style that characterize the one they love, but still. If he didn’t love your dress, and you knew it, what would you do? Do you know of anyone who has been in this situation, either before or on the day of the wedding? In an ideal world, the bride would be confident in her choice and feel gorgeous anyway, and her man would love the way she looked even if the dress was not his fave, but I bet it isn’t always that pretty…
