Hiding groom's "excitement" advice

Betsy85

So this may be a bit awkward, but my hubby-to-be is trying to find a way to hide his possible "excitement" during the wedding ceremony.  I asked the lady at the tux shop and she just giggled and said something about how tux pants can create an illusion.  I'm not really talking about the "illusion,"  I'm talking about the real deal.  Does anybody have any tips to help save us some embarassment?  Any body dealing with the same issue?

I recommend a steel chastity belt.

Edit: I just asked my husband for advice, and he pointed out that black is very slimming.

...What does your ceremony involve that you're so concerned about your FI getting a stiffy at the altar?  Are you wearing one of those see-through dresses?  I'm honestly curious, I've never heard of this being a problem.

Are you both virgins? or at least the groom?  Does he does this every time he gets excited about anything?

Do someone need to be wearing something slutty to get a reaction out of their significant other?  I'm not saying he'll be walking around with a giant "stiffy" the whole time, but he thinks the rush of seeing me when I walk down the isle may invoke a response...I'm not trying to be childish and I would appreciate if others would do the same.

In all seriousness, I have never heard of this being a problem. Even guys who are emotional over the situation tend to react with facial flushing, sweating, and shaking. It's called fight-or-flight. In stressful situations, the body's reaction tends to be the opposite of the problem you're expecting to have. Unless your FI has some medical history of this happening, I wouldn't worry about it. If you are still worried, you've gotten some good tidbits of advice here and on Snarky Brides for how to deal.

Hey Betsy,

Don't worry - your FH isn't weird... he's not the only guy who can get aroused easily.  Think of it as a compliment that he is so attracted to you!

My FH is always ready in a heart beat - a WORD can do it to him.  He has perfected "the tuck"... it is exactly what it sounds like.  I would try suggesting this to your FH. 
Hope all works out well!

I asked my husband, and he said that your FI should just rub one out before the ceremony.  But he's also never heard of this being an issue.

Maybe a snug pair of boxer briefs would keep things in check? Try experimenting with different styles to see if one works, which would actually be sort of funny and fun.

I agree w/ Opalsky, though- I suspect he'll be just fine!

This. If he is that easily aroused, this should help him to not be so horny.
