Congratulations! I believe that men and women should equally share the planning process for a wedding, marriage is about becoming one. So, I completely agree with you when you say that a marriage is a partnership. This is ultimately one of the bigger challenges that future spouses can do together. Most want to break the stereotype of gender roles. Even though wedding programs on television may not always be the best example; some do show the couple working together on everything; from the cake, the location, the table settings, the center pieces, the colors, etc. And there is absolutely nothing with wanting to do so. I would not go as far as to say a man should be there helping his future bride seek out her perfect dress (as you already stated), but I know of some people who want each other to be involved with every single detail. A wedding is not about the people on the outside, they are only there to share the moment. The days prior, the day of, and the days after are about the future husband and wife, and want the two want, even if planning everything together does “defy” a barrier of gender roles that society deems acceptable. There are always going to be those few people who do not agree with planning everything together, some may even say it could hurt the relationship because of disagreements that may occur, but prove them wrong. There is no right or wrong way to plan a wedding.
