Don't Tell the Bride- Would you let your future husband plan your wedding? (Written for Leeds Student Newspaper- Argument Section)

Coming from a girl that has been mentally planning her own wedding since the age of 9, I find the concept of passing the job over to a potential fiancé a rather staggering idea.

Why on earth would you let a man, who doesn’t know the difference between Vera Wang and Vera Duckworth, choose the dress you’ll be wearing on one of the most important days of your life? Would you trust him to carry out the notoriously tiresome task of buying you a new pair of jeans? Probably not. So letting him pick your wedding dress seems rather ridiculous.

I have watched the program ‘Don’t Tell the Bride’ many times, and 9 times out 10 find myself in a state of disbelief at decisions made by the grooms. The £12,000 budget they receive may seem an appropriate incentive..

Add another zero and I may just be tempted.
