You know that theresnothing more beautiful than a pregnant woman glowing and smiling, so youshouldnt hide your body during p Raising a family can be challenging and stressful at times. However, the common goals and emotional, financial, and physical investments made can be a common bond between husband and wife. One that compliments their marriage relationship.Of
I was at a bridal shower a few weeks ago when something rather strange happened. To properly explain what surprised me, I must brief you on typical bridal shower etiquette. For those who dont frequent many bridal showers, most are female only events. As Im at the age where my friends are getting married, Ive been to around five showers in the past two years and all of them have featured only female friends, co-workers and families. In fact most bridal shower invitations will mention to bring a female companion if you wish to bring someone (some though will not give you that option which means only bring yourself and, of course, a gift). What made this last bridal shower so interesting was that there were men in attendance. Now, let me just say this didnt really bother me. Im sure there are some purists who would faint at the idea of a man being in attendance, but to me, eh, maybe I dont care enough to freak out. While it didnt bother me, I have to say it did make a difference. Maybe Im just used to a bridal shower being a female only affair. Certain things occur when its only women in the room (mind out of the gutter, boys) and having men at the event changed the whole dynamics of the shower. It felt more like a friend get together then a bridal shower which, honestly, had its pluses and minuses. I did find myself at some point feeling kind of weird that I didnt have a date there. This got me to thinking, are there rules that a bridal shower has to be only female? Men dont really have a shower for the groom, so isnt it fair that they are involved in the bridal shower? Frankly, I dont think guys want to be involved in the bridal showers. Sorry ladies, but the men that I saw at the bridal shower looked incredibly uncomfortable. They had a look of wait, what am I doing here?. Im sure they got dragged and once one guy was invited every other female followed. And why would a guy want to be there, anyways? Its girly stuff. Not that a man has to be all football-beer-construction, but Im sure there are other things they want to do with their Sunday afternoon. Maybe Im just old fashioned but leave the bridal showers to the gals. Everyone involved will be happier.
