Anyway, I'll be speaking to the guys this week and featuring some of our long neglected Disney grooms. But first, I need to start by talking about the guy that is THE man when it comes to Disney weddings.
Ladies and gentleman, it's David Tutera.
Wedding expert David Tutera is the host of My Fair Wedding, the author of numerous event planning books, and the man behind Disney's Couture Weddings. He's even designed a special line of upscale wedding products for Disney weddings.
I simply couldn't start Guy's Week with anyone else! And I definitely couldn't start the week without a giveaway, right?
Giveaway
One lucky reader will win a copy of David Tutera's Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings. Just leave a comment on this post that answers the unanswerable question: What do men really want on their wedding day? Remember, those who don't play, don't win!
Good luck!
UPDATE: We have a winner!

I know it sounds cliche but my husband just really wanted me to be happy!! He also wanted yummy food LOL
To be completely honest, if I marry my current girlfriend I will honestly want to get away from her dad as quickly as possible. The reason for that is that I don't feel that he shows enough respect to her, which upsets me greatly.
Most of the guys I know want a short ceremony, lots of beer (or choice of alcohol) at the reception, and an easy get away to the honeymoon suite! It helps when the food is good and he doesn't have to go through antics for the day to proceed...
My boyfriend/soon to be fiance has always talked about having a DIsney Wedding (I know, it is usually the bride). I have also wanted a Disney wedding since I was 11. I was at WDW when a wedding was happening in the Magic Kingdom. He really doe not care about details except he wants to get married in front of the Castle (not going to happen, we do not have the $ for that). Guys are usually just happy having their friends and family there to celebrate their day, and to party, have a good time. My boyfriend/soon to be fiance just wants to have a great day, filled with fun with our friends and family.
Guys want the ceremony over and the party to begin. Some want it to be very memorable.
My husband wanted two things on our wedding day - for me to be happy...and cake!! :)
P.S. That anonymous comment about cake is from Megan (snow_white725) - I don't know why my name didn't post
Lets be honest, I think what men ultimately want on their wedding day is for their bride to be happy, and then end the night with LOTS of LOVIN!!! :)
My fiance says he wants three things for our wedding: 1. for me to be happy, 2. for lots of alcohol and 3. to pick the music (he fears lots of Disney music if I choose!)
Since we have gotten engaged and started planning our wedding, all my fiance keeps saying is that he wants me to be happy. With every aspect, he constantly says he doesn't care about the cost or anything as long as my day is perfect. I feel like the guys commit when they commit and they don't need the wedding with all the bells and whistles but that they do it for their bride, to make us happy.
Men want all eyes on the bride, not them.
I would guess that men want an open bar and a king size bed for the big night.
i think they want the bride to look beautiful (which we will) and for us not to freak out (which hopefully i won't, too badly!) - and in my case, he needed to have the ceremony someplace magic-y.
heh
When talked to my boyfriend about it, his answer usually ends up being "I want whatever will make you happy." So, after deciphering his "good-boyfriend" answer, I really think he just wants a day where we are just our goofy, fun loving selves celebrating with friends and family - and cake. Lots of really good cake.
My fiance wants silly things that will make him feel like he had a part in planning the day. He wants to wear a certain pair of shoes, wants a certain flavor cake and he wants me to be happy.
Because he's been so easy and amazing to me, I've planned a few special surprises for him the day of the wedding to make him feel like this is about US and not just about me.
a short ceremony and a drink.
well my hubby to be, wants our vows and ceremony to be on Splash Mountain, his all time favorite ride... I think we'd have to call in a big favor from Mickey in order to swing the "I do's" before the big splash!
cdziuba@aol.com I think they want to be comfortable and happy.
Rick says "men just want really good food and drink..and for their wife to be happy with all the details"
Well said my dear!
Men want to make it threw with out fainting throwing up or crying
Well Jeff was in charge of the food. I think what he wanted most was our reception in general, he picked the location of the Living Seas.
My husband was excited to have all his friends and family together with mine. He really wanted us to just have a great party. And we did!!

My husband has been there every single step since we started the planning process for our Disney World vow renewal. He was the one that first contacted DFTW.
He came with me to pick out a dress with me because, well, he is my best friend and I trust his input more than anybody's, plus if I ask if "this dress makes me look fat", he will tell me the truth and I can take it without blowing a gasket hahaha!
We have made every decision, from locations to timelines together. I have researched most of the stuff, but when it comes to sitting down and deciding from a list we sit down together, pick things apart and we both get a say. If he or I are not happy with it, we go back to the drawing board.
I guess it helps that we are both very similar and have very similar tastes, plus we trust each other blindly. Since he has already seen my dress, he has free reign on what to wear, I trust him and I want him to be happy and comfortable. He has shown me 3 tux options so far and all of them have been fabulous, so I can't wait to be surprised.
We are truly having a blast planning together, it is another activity we enjoy as a couple :)
My fiance really lets me make most of the decisions but gets really offended if I make one without including him. He just likes me to run the ideas by him, but there hasn't been anything he's said no to. I'm fairly certain getting married in Disney was originally his idea. And he said that because we're getting married near Halloween (his favorite) and had a Halloween engagement party, that's all I really needed to do.
What my husband wanted at our wedding was: good beer, pound cake, a happy me, all of our families and a special day for himself as well as me. I think thats pretty much what all men want.
My husband wanted to choose his own suit, asked for a string quartet, and basically stayed out of the way for the rest. :) I think the most important thing to him was my happiness. He wanted to be married to me, but the wedding was my thing.
My fiance & I are getting married exactly 2 years to the date of our engagement. We were engaged in Disney & will be married in Disney. He tells me everyday he wants nothing more than to make Ms. Me, Mrs. Him at our favorite place on earth. Just to see the smile & joy on my face on our day & for the rest of our lives is all that matters. He is a hopeless romantic.. <3
He wants his wife to be happy. Blissfully happy!!!
My husband was always focused on the reception (good food, good booze!) but as we started planning and it got closer, he focused in on other things. He got really into how the decor looked and what attire he would be wearing. As the days got even closer, he was mostly focused on the ceremony and us becoming husband and wife!
I think men just want to get through the day, eat some cake, have a few drinks and spend the night with their sweetie.
Thank you for the giveaway :)

He just wanted the day to not be stressful, top hats (odd request, but he's an odd husband), and cake. I think the look on his face when he saw the cake for the first time rivaled seeing me!
Boy these guys know what to say to get on her good side "I want you to be happy" but what they really want is a short ceremony, a fun reception with an open bar and get to leave quickly on the honeymoon
I have always wanted to get married in Disney world, at the castle. The girl I am with now is a huge hockey fan as I am so we want to get married in Disney and have the reception in Canada at Epcot. We have been looking at having a hockey themed wedding, this could not make me happier. I live in SC and hockey fans, let alone female hockey fans, are few and far between so it is nice to be with someone that feels the same way I do. I want my bride to be happy and it's nice knowing what makes her happy also makes me happy so it's a win win for everyone.
The butterfly burst leg warmers are adorable. Thanks for the chance.

Well, they guys I know just wanted the wedding over with lol.
My boyfriend just says that he wants it to be the wedding I've always dreamed of, and for the food and cake to be good :)
My Husband to be is like the rest of these lovely ladies, he wants me to be happy, food and a chocolate orange flavoured wedding cake lol.
Guys want to have a nice party, and lots of guys (while afraid to say it) would also like their future wives to sometimes just chill a little.
My husband didn't want to make an a$$ out of himself in front of my father :) And marry me of course!
They want to make it the best day for their wife. =)

I think men want the day to run as smoothly as possible so that their bride will be happy - which they hope will lead to a happy wedding night! xD
My fiance wants to pick out all of the music. He's been working on the playlist for eight months now!
My husband only cared about some of the food, lol :-) He picked one of the cake flavors and insisted on having peaches for the crepe station and spicy sausage for the omelets!
As a guy who stumbled across this, here is my take. I would want my fiance to be as happy as possible with as little involvement by me as possible. Its her special day and you want it to go smoothly, but we aren't planners. We are happy to be there, but you take the reigns. I would also like Buffalo wings, big screen tvs, and cold beer on tap

When I asked my fiance, what he really wants... he rolled over on the bed, stretch out and said...
" Simple, five words... to live happily ever after"
I said " Yea right!"
Ha, I hope he gets it... :)

What men really want on their wedding day is to not pass out at the alter or vomit because they ate an entire pack of tums!
They want a nice day.

My husband wanted the ceremony to be over so he could relax at the reception (and we were married at WDW).
Guys want no stress!

I asked my fiancé what he wants on our wedding day and he said, “just to marry you.” I’m sure he’ll come up with some more requests before the big day ☺
I think men just want everything to go smoothly on their wedding day, and to not be jilted at the altar!

My husband said he just wanted to be married to me at the end of the day. It worked--we didn't have a fancy wedding but we'll celebrate 21 years next week!

To be married and enjoy our special day together.
I think it's to have it as stress free as possible and just to have fun.
Men want their friends to rejoice with them and they want to be treated like a king on their wedding day. garrettsambo@aol.com
They want to be happy.
I want to share a day as special as my miraculous bride-to-be with her and I want our guests to bask in the glory of the love we will share for longer than time has meaning.
