A groom decided to take all the pressures off his bride-to-be by surprising her with a wedding months before they planned to be married. The bride thought she was going to take her wedding photos, but instead she was surprised with the early wedding with all of her friends and loved ones there.

How would you feel if your groom surprised you with a wedding? Happy at the sweet gesture, or upset that you missed out on the planning of it yourself?
Personally, I'd love it.. but I know some women look forward to their wedding day all their lives and the planning of it is just as much fun for them as the wedding itself.. so some women might be upset all the planning was taken out of their hands.

Difficult question! I hate planning such things, so it would be great to have someone take all of that off my hands, and would be truly amazing to know that my partner had cared enough to do all that on his own. On the other hand, I'm probably a bit of a control freak who doesn't like surprises, so I'm not sure I'd have been happy.

LOL, I totally understand your dilemma. I'd probably feel the same way.

I did not like organising my wedding at all and would have been happy for my husband to have done it all by himself. The eve of my wedding was spent seasong 20 chickens so they could be baked the next day.
I was exhausted on my wedding day. And no, not the happiest day of my life either. The happiest was when I had my first son

Well, with that much work going into it, I can understand why you would have wanted someone else to do it for you!

I think I'd need a moment to get used to the idea. Surprises stress me out.

Yes, it would be a surprise and I too, don't like surprises but this would be a good one. One drink would make it a good surprise. Rum anyone?

I think I would be 50/50 about it all! I would be so delighted he had done all that to surprise me and feel very loved that he wanted to but, as I actually really enjoy planning anything (I get called Monica from Friends!) I would be a little disappointed about missing out on the arranging side!

Well he would probably know that about you and not try to surprise you this way.

I have heard stories like this a few other times. And, I know some couples choose to have the groom to be the "planner" of the wedding instead of the traditional, so to speak way, bride doing most of the planning.
Personally, I am torn. I am not big into planning really big events...it really isn't my thing. And, I know I would get so overwhelmed with the whole thing. But, on the other hand, I know the kind of taste my husband has and I am pretty sure I would not like what he planned.

My hubby would definitely need help planning.. he doesn't know the first thing about flowers, colors, that sort of thing!

That is my husband exactly...my luck he would plan everything in brown. Anything he ever picks out...furniture, clothes for me or the girls...always brown :( I mean, I like brown for something but that seems to be his color choice for everything...LOL.

I'm sure a lot of women would be kind of upset at missing out on the actual planning and having a say on every little detail that goes into her own wedding. But I think that the gesture is very romantic! Not to mention a very guy-move as he aims to take the stress of having to deal with his planning-bride out of the equation!
The guy deserves a medal, or something.

I would love it. It would just show he has spontaneity and is romantic at heart. And he had her family and friends there there isn't no one else that counts. It is also less costly then a wedding and saved them a lot of money they could save up for something special in their future.

Hi there Katsmeow1213!
That is so sweet. I am a person who loves organizing surprises for others and would love to have a surprise party or even a surprise wedding organized for me for a change. I would feel very happy.

I know a couple here in the Philippines who has the same story as that. It is a celebrity couple, and they have been together for quite some time now with beautiful twins. Everyone just got surprised with the guy's surprise wedding for his wife. Of course their twins were there. Well, they are rich so they can afford an extravagant type of wedding. As for me, I think it is totally romantic. I can even imagine my boyfriend doing the same thing if he will have his chance, but I still want to have a personal preparation for my own wedding. The more I work for it the more I will treasure it.
