There have been so many brides who just can’t seem to understand how grooms think. Like how we think our brides are bridezillas, many brides misunderstand that grooms are “bo-chap”. But the fact is that we do care. It’s just that our frequency of thinking is slightly different. This does not mean we care any less about the wedding.
Below I shall try to match what the brides and the grooms are thinking so that we can understand each other better.
There are many more examples I can quote, but I think this would give everyone a rough idea how we grooms are also trying very hard. Believe us, we are really looking forward to our wedding night. 🙂

What the Bride is thinkingWhat the Groom is thinking
Choose a theme. Must choose the color, the pairing of colors, types of flowers, decorations, door gifts etc.I also want it to be nice. Just get me the cheapest but nicest looking décor and they will all come together nicely.
Don’t overlook the small details. Must check how the napkins are folded, how the names are printed. Must make sure place-cards are done, spelling is correct.The waiters will settle the napkins. The printer will settle the names and place-cards (oh do we even need them??). If they print wrongly even better, can ask for refund.
Must have to do list, listed in months to wedding and ticked and double check every item.To do list of course must have. Let me copy my buddy’s one when he got married. I’m sure we’ll have nearly everything done already.
Every person must have a role. Give them each a briefing and SOP (standard operating procedures) to carry out on the wedding day.I got a lot of buddies, they will settle everything don’t worry, we are all Army trained. SOP is for wayang only.
Try to save money by using flowers in season and recycling day time flower at night.Oh my wife to be is so considerate, how about using fake flowers from my friend’s wedding?? It’s free.
Must keep the guests happy, maybe have live band, or Polaroid cameras for them or something.Hmm…I thought the guests are supposed to entertain us??
I want a real cake, cupcakes are good too. I will search for beautiful but “cheap” cakes for the wedding.Hur?? You like cakes ah?? Ok lah, lets just cut plastic one at the ballroom then I buy you a big big Prima Deli cake after that k??
Must write thank you cards to all the helpers.Ya, must say thank you. Darling, you got nicer handwriting, so you write and I sign k??
I am not a Wedding MonsterI am not Bo Chap Groom
