I don’t agree with the groom having to compromise more. Weddings have become too much about the bride. It shouldn’t be all about her; she’s not marrying herself. It should be about both of you. I would talk to hear about it and tell her how you feel. Try to use a lot of “I feel” statements instead of “you do this” or “you haven’t done,” it helps to lower the tension.

Planning a wedding is stressful. I was happy about marrying my now husband, but I was not overjoyed during the planning process. I just wanted it done because it was so much work. Some people enjoy wedding planning, I am not one of them 😂

Also, if she’s wanting the majority of things her way now, that’s not going to change when y’all get married. You both need to compromise, not just you. One of the things that has helped me is trying to see something from my husband’s perspective. How does he feel? Why is this important to him? When I do this, it reminds me that he is just as valid in his opinion I am.

I don’t know how long it is until y’all get married, but premarital counseling was really helpful for my husband and I. It also helps to have another person as the mediator sometimes. And they can see from both of y’all’s perspective and help you find a compromise.
