Engaged? 

 

                      Wow Congratulations! You are engaged to be married!  

                      Some tips and tricks and helpful hints to help you - The Groom. 

 

 

 

• The first few weeks after your fiancée said yes, will be of the most blissful times of your life. Your friends and family are so proud, happy and excited for you, that everywhere you go feels like a reunion tour! Enjoy it! Celebrate your life and love together. Then get down to planning your wedding. A Happy bride will be the one who get help from her fiancée.  Please do ask what and where you can assist her, it is after all both your wedding day, not only hers. 

• Your wedding will be more meaningful to you if you play a major role in creating it. Find an aspect of the wedding that matters to you and totally take it over.

• Arrange some surprises.. I like the idea of a groom taking charge of a few details of the wedding. If you do something on this list, even the most neurotic bride won't have a problem relinquishing some details to you. Take on the honeymoon (which is a groom responsibility) and don't tell her more than she needs to know. Buy her a wonderful wedding gift. Something that lets her know that you're looking forward to your future as much as she is. Throughout the engagement, do romantic things that remind her of why she's so excited to marry you.

• On your wedding Day. 

• Be careful with alcohol. This is a day you’ll want to remember clearly for the rest of your life, so make sure you don’t drink too much (that’s for doing at your friends’ weddings). One tip is to drink a full glass of water between each alcoholic drink.

• Make sure you get the flower right. Please, please you have no idea how many grooms do not know this. The flower has to look up at you and not down! This will show on your photos and will remind you for the rest of your life of this one mistake! Also make sure you get pins, as I have seen many people running around to shops to go get some pins within the last hour before the ceremony! Such a small detail, yet very important. So please make a note of this. 

• Write special & endearing notes to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, thanking them for everything they’ve done, especially for creating the most amazing woman in the world. Do not forget to tell her how beautiful she looks and what an amazing person she is. 

• Plan a surprise for the reception like fireworks, special music, maybe a special dance or write her a poem and read it to her in front of your guests.

• Have the Best Man deliver your bride a special gift and breakfast the morning of the wedding.

• Be the level-headed one. Some women, not all, become more emotional than usual. They're stressed and busy and not everyone cooperates. The time will come when her mother, best friend, or your mother gets on her nerves. This is the time for you to step in and diffuse the situation. Listen when necessary, referee, and empathize. Don't escalate things. Never but never agree that a particular person is bad, this is not what she really want to hear.  Your goal is to have all relationships intact once the wedding is over.
