The groom also has to decide on the wedding theme, which often leads to some interesting and unconventional choices.

In each episode, viewers are introduced to the groom and his bride-to-be, who is usually left in the dark about the wedding plans until the very last minute. The groom then sets off to plan the wedding and surprises his bride with his decisions on their big day.

Throughout the planning process, the groom is assisted by his best man and a team of experts, including a wedding planner, a stylist, and a chef. However, the groom often struggles to balance his own desires with his fiancé's wishes, leading to some tense moments and unexpected surprises.

The show also highlights the importance of communication in relationships, as the grooms often struggle to understand their partner's priorities and preferences. Some couples come out stronger from the experience, while others face difficult conversations and tough choices about their future together.
