Weeks and months are spent by the bride agonizing over the perfect wedding gown. What style to pick? Which gown will accentuate the bride’s best features? How much lace and tulle will make the gown a wow without going overboard? What type of neckline, detail and fabrics go into the perfect gown? Should it be long or short, white, ivory or coloured? And, then there’s the poor groom. Does anyone pay attention to his wedding attire? He is often left to fend for himself, without having the slightest idea what he is looking for. Certainly he has heard of wing-collars, morning suits and cummerbunds. But does he even know what they are? Or when they are worn? Or what they look like?
In the past, grooms had no say in the wedding preparations-ever. His job was to propose to the love of his life and book the honeymoon, while the bride and her mother planned the day! But, a new phenomenon has emerged with the shifting of demographics. A decade ago, the bride was 21 years of age, and the groom was 23 when they married. Fast-forward to 2010 and the ages are now 28 and 30. With that shift, we find that over 50% of the couples are living together first, and they have assets, investments and sometimes even children before they say their vows. |
