Meet the "groomzillas", grooms who want to outshine brides in wedding
preparations
London, Aug 25 : It's not just brides to-be who are involved in frenzy preparations,
but grooms too take a lot of interest in planning their weddings.
The new breed of "groomzillas", men fanatical about favours and even more
high-maintenance about their wedding look, are outshining brides-to be in planning their
D-day.
According to Hitched.co.uk, more and more grooms are joining wedding forums, with
numbers soaring from one in 50 to one in 10 since 2002.
"Grooms like the attention as well as brides and they are increasingly particular about
every element and about impressing their friends," the Daily Express quoted wedding
planner Mark Niemierko, who offers grooms personal shopping days where they browse at
tailors and have manicures, as saying.
Couples these days pay for much of their wedding themselves, and they also want to make
their investment count.
"Many of our grooms find it hard to take a back seat," said James Lord of wedding
planners Love & Lord.
"We have many a fashion crisis, with grooms changing twice during the day and telling
guests what to wear," he added.
