What's a Groom Gotta DoThere are a ton of duties for the groom when it comes to weddings (and none of them involve wedding flowers). In this video, we cover groom wedding duties from a guy's perspective, from choosing groomsmen to planning the honeymoon.For You and Your Bride: Choosing a Wedding MCNovember 13th, 2008Handing over complete control during an event as important as a wedding can be nerve-wracking. Whom amongst your set of friends and family can you trust to speak with confidence, stay on task, and keep the "troops" entertained for the duration of the reception? (And without offending the flower girl and the groom's great Aunt, Dorothy.) The bride and groom should scan the list for possible masters of ceremony who have previous experience or who have proven that they can speak publicly and keep it classy. If no one springs to mind, your DJ could double as the man (or woman) with the mic. For more on how to make this all-important call, click here.  Grooms Had Better Shop AroundPhyllis Bergman is President of Mercury Ring Corporation and a jewelry industry expertBefore deciding where to buy your ring you should shop around. Go to a small independent jeweler, a mall store, the Internet. Ask questions. Learn about diamonds and engagement ring settings. Study the difference between the metals. Decide what you are comfortable spending for your ring and then buy at the place that you feel the most comfortable. Sometimes you might spend a little more for service and convenience but it is worth it to you. Remember chances are this is a purchase that is going to last a lifetime and you want to feel confident about where you purchase your ring. My suggestion is that you purchase where you feel they are giving you the right answers to your questions. Ask the Wedding ChickThe Wedding Chick answers any question a groom-to-be wants to ask - from groomsmen gifts to wedding attire. Most recently, a groom asks her about his bride getting cold feet. |
