While all of this is true, there are times when you won\u2019t feel so lucky! While we don\u2019t want to scare the be-jesus outta you, wedding planning can get a little hectic. Here are some wedding planning situations not to get blindsided by\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>Grouchy Groom<\/h2>\n<p>While most guys are willing to do things 50\/50 nowadays, don\u2019t be surprised if your groom is a total grouch. It doesn\u2019t mean he doesn\u2019t love you but he may not love the idea of picking out d\u00e9cor that matches your floral arrangements.<\/p>\n<h2>Everyone Has an Opinion on Wedding Planning<\/h2>\n<p>The most non-outspoken and quiet people will come out of the woodwork and tell you their opinion over the most minute details. Well\u2026 It\u2019s not their wedding dammit! Try not to say this out loud (as hard as it may be) but instead thank them for their opinion and mention that you will take it into consideration.<\/p>\n<h2>Unsupportive Bridal Party Members<\/h2>\n<p>While everyone may be happy for the bride and groom, some people just don\u2019t jump to the chance of helping out when it comes to a wedding. Don\u2019t be surprised if one of your bridesmaids doesn\u2019t lift a finger to help out once with the wedding or hen plans. Try not to have huge expectations of friends and family running to your side but instead ask your most trust worthy friends and family to be a part of your plans. As well as this, make your directions simple and clear for anyone who is helping with your plans.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you had any unexpected bumps in your wedding planning so far?
