Not that YOU would do this...
Sneaking wedding purchases behind your groom's back is a big Don't. You've worked out a budget, you've partnered on the hiring and the details, and one day....while you're out at the florist's boutique...you decide to just throw in a little something extra. For just a few hundred dollars more.
"It's my special day, so he won't mind if I just add these gardenias to the centerpieces...just a few dozen of them."
He might not mind the gardenias, but he IS going to mind your sneaking something in behind his back. It's not a gardenia issue. It's a trust issue.
And it's a much bigger deal that you can ever imagine. Especially if your guy -- like most guys -- has a trust issue.
So many brides think that being the bride gives them license to break some rules here and there. They think they can be bossy or snappy or demanding, but no...actually, they can't. Because people remember. And your groom is going to remember this sneaky purchase, because it's going to sting when he finds out about it. And he will find out about it when the bill comes in and knocks you both over.
There's no safe item to sneak into the wedding plans. It's not a good idea to abide by the 'don't ask for permission' rule, because even though you might gain those gardenias, you lose a few levels of trust with your partner. And that can be a long road back...
Share the stories you've heard about *other* wedding couples who faced this...because we know YOU would never make a sneaky purchase behind your groom's back.... :)
