I dunno some men just give too much opinion.

We often got Grooms in the shop with the bride. I think it may be a control freak issue but they insist on viewing the dresses to give the opinion of what the bride should wear.

We have actually had two gentlemen in the shop previously that thought it necessary to stay whilst the bridesmaids were being fitting rather that go for a walk or have a cup of coffee at the shop two doors away. They sprawled across the floor and opened a bag to reveal chess set and began to play chess in the middle of the room (seriously I am not kidding folks). After well over one hour our next appointment chomping at the bit in the doorway we asked them to discuss nail polish colours and hair plaits elsewhere as our next appointment is now here and the fitting is complete. The groom looked up and snapped “she can have as much time as she likes you take you time love” at this point I was red with anger “I am sorry but she doesn’t have all the time in the world Sir (very close to saying “you Donkey head”) she has one hour and has already gone well past that”.

Embarrassed, the bridesmaid retreated to the changing room and we ushered the gentlemen out of the room. I received a telephone apology from the bride two days later.

Another Groom decided he wanted total control of how his bride would look on the big day. He began to pull the dresses off the rail grubby fingerprints all over them I politely asked him to take a seat and he would see her in them one at a time. I stood silently scowling in the corner as he subjected his poor bride to be to a barrage of insults “your arse looks huge” or “you look cheap in that” As she went into the changing room for the third time you could see she wasn’t impressed “I think I will come back with my mum” she whispered. I never saw her again I hope she didn’t marry him.
But it doesn’t stop there oh no… some men also feel the need to discuss shoes, tiaras, and veils and make up. One chap for example came for the fittings of his Brides wedding dress and I am not kidding he actually sat in front of his “bride to be” and uttered “Red Lipstick wouldn’t go with that but maybe a soft blush pink colour”. I am afraid I had to leave the room for fear of bursting out laughing.
