what's
a groom to do...
Getting
Started as a Groom
•
Pop the question... While you
may not have to rent out the CN Tower, you should ask her in a way that
she can brag about to all her friends and family.
•
Buy an engagement ring that
suits her personality and taste. Thought (knowing what she likes) ranks
higher than cost in many brides' hearts. Family rings are great too.
•
Select the Best Man &
Groomsmen. Keep in mind that the groomsmen will be walking down the
aisle and dancing with the bridesmaids, so try to select people you know
the brides' friends dislike (no ex-boyfriends, etc).
•
Announce your wedding date to
your parents and her parents with your fiancée.
•
Make sure that you let your
fiancée know that setting a date is as important to you as it is to
her. Hesitation over setting a date could be taken as a sign that you
don't really want to do this.
•
Have that first 'Big Picture'
chat with your fiancée. Together, try to imagine your dream wedding. Is
it outside or in? Is it day or night? Is it casual or formal. Agree on
these major basics before the wedding planning begins.
•
Ask your bride-to-be what she
would like you to help with and if there's anything you can do for the
wedding on your own, to lessen the stress on your fiancée.

The
most common elements of a wedding that interests the groom is usually
the music, the transportation and the formal wear. By sticking to what
interests you, you can have a little fun while helping out with the
plans. The most important thing to remember is that your bride will love
you even more if you bring up these topics before she does. Make
suggestions and take on the hiring of these important parts of your
wedding. Don't know where to start? Here's a few articles to help you

the
truth on bachelor parties
We
know that many grooms innocently stumble into Bachelor Party faux pas',
thanks to their best friends, groomsmen, and a complete misconception of
what they feel will be okay with their bride to be. For these reasons,
we thought it only fair to even the playing field by shedding some light
on what a ton of brides have to say on the Bachelor Party topic. Now at
least, you can't say we didn't warn you!
