5 Things Singaporean Brides REALLY Want Their Grooms to Know About the Wedding

You're engaged and the excitement of planning your Singapore dream wedding is BUZZIN'.

But between the endless venue tours and delectable cake tastings, some brides might find themselves facing frustrations they don't quite know how to voice.

ATTENTION, ALL GROOMS: Here are 5 common things brides wish you knew about wedding planning in Singapore, along with tips to help you be the superhero fiancé she deserves:

1. Wife vs. Family Feud

Many family members are going to have unsolicited opinions about your wedding. It is easy to be stuck between your family’s opinions and your wife’s wishes.

TIP: Be a united front. Explain your decisions as a couple. Remember, you are starting your own family unit now, and your decisions come as a couple first. Any disagreements should take place behind closed doors. Instead of “she didn’t want this,” you should say “we decided not to do this.”

2. Decision Fatigue is Real!

She’s paralyzed by endless choices from flowers to favours.

TIP: Proactively take part in the decision-making process, and you can do more than just saying “yes” or “no”. Do some research together, like reading reviews to shortlist the best vendor & venue options.

3. She needs to vent, but you try to “fix” things.

Wedding planning is NOT STRESSFUL AT ALL, said no one ever. Sometimes, she just needs a listening ear.

TIP: Offer support and a shoulder to lean on. Let her know you’re there for her. You can try asking her if she needs you to listen or to find solutions.

4. The Power of Appreciation

She has been pouring her heart and soul into planning. If she seems grumpy or stressed-out, don’t take it personally. A simple "thank you" or a thoughtful gesture goes a looooong way!

TIP: Acknowledge her efforts, big and small. Write her a card. Plan a date to relieve the stress. Surprise her with flowers.

5. Don’t forget to have fun at your wedding!

After pouring so much time and money, it’s normal to feel nervous on your wedding day. However, you don’t want to look back and think about how stressful it was. If you truly enjoyed your wedding day, then it was ALL WORTH IT.

TIP: Let loose & enjoy yourself! Celebrate that you will never have to plan another wedding.
