"Show up and look nice."
That phrase was relayed to me by one reception hall guide this past weekend. Apparently, this is the job of the groom. Show up and look nice.
So where does a groom get all niced up? Certainly not at the reception hall. Of the 16 odd places visited, I've seen one room for the groom to prepare. I use the word room loosely. More accurately it was a mirror, a bench, and a door. Nice. At another place, Ji inquired where I would prep. She was told, "We'll figure it out." Oh ok.
Grooms, no one is concerned about you. No one thinks it's your day. You do show up, and you look as nice as you can. The bride has a team, you're sequestered so that the bride doesn't see you. You're the cool calm guy, ready in 15 minutes for the biggest day of your life. Bring a magazine.
In no way am I discounting the needs of the bride. The hair, the nails, the flowers, the dress, the jewelry, it's easy to see why bridal suites need to be bigger. I'm just wondering when it was decided it was ok to slight the groom when it comes to accommodations.
