As we sat there wide-eyed and open-mouthed listening to JM state how her sweetie kept bugging her about details she could not care less, I thought, oh my--she IS complaining! It seems that the Groominator was obsessing over the ribbon for the bride's bouquet, the color of the napkins (because the wrong shade of pink will force him to call the florist and rework the flower arrangements), and whether the flower girls dresses should be a certain lenght or not.
Another amazing fact revealed about this man is that HE is the one who is the obsessive neat freak, cook, and financial manager in the home; JM is just happy to delegate and enjoy the fruits of a beautiful home, perfectly organized papers and finances, and delicious healthy meals on the table--no wonder she's got this smashingly healthy figure!
This makes me wonder a few things: Is this the new thing--men who obsess over their weddings just like some neurotic women do? Could this possibly be an isolated incident? (Somehow I doubt this.) Where was my husband when they were giving the men these traits, at the I-do-not-know-how-a-hamper-works line? Were the other women at the shower secretly seething and green with envy (like little petty me), or were they blessing their lucky stars they didn't have to deal with a Groominator of their own?
Oh, before I forget: Do you Shiners think that the termed I coined (as far as I know it is an original creation) "Groominator" is good for this phenomenon? Any other suggestions? I will write a list of the other suggestions the Shiners who comment on this post make; heck, we might have the beginnings of a new buzz word for America!
Share your thoughts, Shiners!
