In society at large perhaps, but during a wedding, well that certainly doesn’t match my experience or any other husband I’ve talked to. If the bride’s primary function is to be gawked at by the other male guests it would only make sense that help selecting the dress would come from the husband. You know because the amount of input I was allowed to give on my wife’s dress was zero. In fact she already knew what she wanted well before we got engaged. If anything I see this more as a Disney princess fantasy that has been heavily marketed rather than some type of male sexual fantasy with the wife on display as a trophy.
