Gender Moment 1

As I previously stated I am recently engaged. As recently as 05/14!! I cannot begin to explain how excited I am to embark on all the good things that are going start taking place. We all know a wedding is considered the “bride’s” day. I have already come to realize that I must be marrying the only man in the world (definitely an exaggeration) who wants to be involved in all the details of the wedding. This here is my gender moment. I have had friends and know plenty of people who have had husbands who just want to know where and when to show up and what to wear. I have had friends whose spouses just want to be involved in finding the location and maybe the food or entertainment. I am not saying in any way this is upsetting to me. I know the man I am going to marry and it did not come to a surprise at all. He is a scientist. He has a thought process for EVERYTHING. Because is not an answer, and rhyme and reason is always present. With that being said, the stresses that come along with wedding planning are going to be much greater I think. Women are tagged with the phrase of being bridezilla and that is something I do not want to be. Are there supposed to be guidelines for what a male and female are supposed to do and not do in regards to the planning process. I love the fact that together we are going to plan our day. Yes there are going things that he won’t have a say in say as my dress or bridesmaids dresses but together we are going to plan pretty much everything. I look at this being a partnership and a great way to start our marriage. Since this is not the “norm” is this defying some barrier of gender roles? How would some people interpret him wanting to take such an active role in this?

This is a test to see if I screwed this up or not!
