Quick Checklist for<br />
the Groom<br />
In preparing for the <strong>wedding</strong> the<br />
groom does play a huge part. Bride<br />
and Groom would like to give you<br />
some advice and tips in preparing<br />
for your <strong>wedding</strong>. First and<br />
foremost you should understand that<br />
planning a <strong>wedding</strong> can be stressful<br />
on the bride and therefore, be<br />
patient and help her along the way.<br />
If you have any <strong>issue</strong>s with the plans,<br />
talk it over with your fiancée, calmly.<br />
This may be the first event that both<br />
the bride’s and groom’s families are<br />
organizing together, so there might<br />
be differences in<br />
opinions/expectations. Try to strike<br />
a balance between different<br />
ideas/requirements; it can be a<br />
great relationship building practice<br />
with the in-laws-to-be if it is handled<br />
diplomatically!<br />
Work out and be in good shape,<br />
make a plan to do exercises as you<br />
count down months to the <strong>wedding</strong> –<br />

on the <strong>wedding</strong> day. Organize your<br />
<strong>wedding</strong> attendants’ (best man /<br />
men, paige boy) attire, early. You<br />
may get the jitters on the <strong>wedding</strong><br />
day, its normal to feel so. Remember<br />
to smile with your bride<br />
throughout the <strong>wedding</strong> ceremony.<br />

alcohol on your <strong>wedding</strong> day or the<br />
day before.<br />
