Do Men Dream About Their Wedding Day?

[Teallaura]

I would like a serious answer before this turns into a spamfest. For most of us girls the wedding itself is a very big deal. Hopefully, it is a celebration of a lifetime. But it seems like guys regard it more as a necessary evil at best.

I was wondering what guys really think about it. Is the wedding itself something you look forward to and or daydream about? Is it something you have to bear like wearing a tie to work? Something in between, perhaps?

Definitely don't see it as a "necessary evil", but not sure I really "dream about it".

No, we don't dream about it. I mean if you love your future wife it will be a happy day. But the problem is more of the wedding itself. The actual event, women tend to blow it up. To many people, too much money, way too much fuss. I think most guys would be happy with a handful of close friends and family in a much less formal setting.

I don't think we dream about it, no. I am sure most of us look forward to that day however. But I don't know any guy that has ever dreamt about that day.

It was simply a necessary part of the process of getting/being married, and I knew it meant a lot to her.

Do robot dream of electric sheep?












On a more serious note, I've never heard any male make much of a big deal about their wedding day (whether in anticipation or in recollection) although I would be surprised if some don't. Most, it seems, are more likely to dream about growing old with the woman they love (the entire marriage) than being hung up on one day of it.

Yeah, pretty much.

Men look forward to being married, not the ceremony with all the flowers and cakes and dresses and all that. To most girls they are brought up to think of the wedding as some sort of fairy tale event where they are the princess and prince charming has swept them off their feet. So they want all the fancy stuff. Most men don't really care for all that stuff, having to wear a suit, picking out this and that, planning where everyone will sit, etc.

I do not have any experience in this area. My true love and I were married by a San Diego Judge. That was 51 years ago tomorrow.

I've been married twice. The first time was in a muddy apple orchard officiated by a science fiction author. That husband couldn't understand why we couldn't just put out some chips & dip and call it a day. The second time was a decade later to a man whose first wedding had been a non-event. He was much more involved in the decisions of this wedding. The celebration was definitely ours, equally. So, speaking on his behalf, I think he did dream about the day some. It may have had something to do with having played in a wedding band for 10 years!
