Well, yeah.
But then it wasn't his money. I'd probably not complain too loudly in that scenario, either. Mustn't seem an ingrate. I'd be cringing inwardly, however.

He fucking loved it and you know he did.

Yeah. Inwardly.

There might be some visible outward cringing
but I'd pass it off as the shits or something. Wouldn't want to seem vulgar.

Why does the groom never get any say?
For most of the weddings I hear about, the bloke acts like all he gets to do is turn up and shut up.
Surely it shouldn't be the sort of day where he suffers to make the bride happy?
Meh, what do I know?

Because if the men got their way
people'd get married online and then she'd shut up and make him a sandwich.

From what I can tell
the men want to get married, the women want a wedding.

I didn't make the old fella wear a suit and tie and all that, and he chose most of the music for the day, and we had a pretty good time.

"I'm alright for a sanger actually, love. I am going out with my mates".

Because for most of their lives women are told it will be the best day of their lives
This creates an unrealistic expectation level and the man as someone who only wants his beloved to be happy will take the knocks in order to maintain peace.

I got involved with selecting the food & drink. That was all, apart from turning up.

I get the impression it was her father's wedding rather than yours.

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:56, Reply)

Quite. Given the length of the marriage it was the biggest waste of cash I've witnessed.

lots of my friends have found the opposite
it's groomzilla all the way. my friend recently got into the most ridiculous row because she wants 40 people for lunch at petrus and he wants 400 people at the hurlingham club. it ended with him screaming, "and there'll be a DISCO and i'm going to DANCE with my FRIENDS", to which she said, "you're fucking gay" and hung up on him.

lol.

From what you described above
It seems more likely that he will be getting it in the end
