Would You Like a Surprise Wedding?

On The Talk last week they were talking about a story wherein a man proposed to a woman and then a few hours later surprised her with the wedding of her dreams. One member of The Talk said it would be great as the bride was totally relieved from any stress in organizing a wedding. Another panel member said that the husband was a real keeper. That he listened to his wife. He KNEW what she wanted in a wedding. He even had a dress designed and made exactly the way she wanted it (it was a knee length black lace dress, not a bridal gown).
My husband's comment to all this was, "Don't you wish you had waited until the right man came along?"
You could have knocked me over with a feather with that statement. Guess he knows he's not the best husband. At the very least he knows he doesn't listen to me. My response was that I would never find a man like my father (who I think was the best example of what a husband should be).
I would love to be surprised with a wedding if, as in the above story, it turned out to be exactly the way I wanted.
What about you?

@patgalca Thanks. But I don't know when yet. I haven't heard from him in a few days.

I dont know it is kind of sad that your husband wasn't the one.

I´d say that a man that "surprises" the bride is a very controlling guy.

I don't think so. I think a controlling guy would insist on HIS kind of wedding. They obviously had been together a long time and had talked about what their one-day wedding. The video shows how much love this couple has for one another.

Something you said makes me feel very sorry for both you and your husband. He clearly doesn't feel that you love him and you feel he doesn't love you.

I wouldn't like that. It would make me feel like I was being forced into getting married and not have a say in anything. I smell afraid that as much as I love him I wouldn't get married if I was surprised with a wedding. I also think that it is sad that you and your husband feel that way.

I question our relationship all the time. I can't force him to be the way I want him to be. When we got married we had two kids and I had fibromyalgia and unable to work. Sometimes one settles out of necessity instead of want. Plus, my father set the bar really high on what a husband should be and I had high expectations.

@patgalca I can understand that. People do what they have to do. Your Dad sounds like a wondeful man.
