How to talk her into it?

[starbkjrus]

I'm not very diplomatic and vehemently disagree with the idea that the wedding is "all about the bride". This is what has spawned the Bridezilla attitudes and ridiculous event of the century weddings.

A wedding is a union of equals. She gets to pick what she and her attendants wear and you get the to do the same for what you and your attendants wear.

'Nuff said.

This is HER day to shine. Giving her that is one of the best wedding gifts you can give her.

In this modern age it's about equality and there can be nothing worse than a happy Bride on the day and an unhappy Bridegroom who is refused his chance to shine also.

Looking at the wedding pictures could lead to resentment when she has free choice of what to wear and he doesn't.

I bet the guy who modelled his ex wife's wedding dress on Ebay would have been happier in a kilt too.
