Tips to help get your fiance involved in wedding planning

Here is an interesting article from The Knot with some tips to get your fellow more involved in the wedding plans.  As a celebrant, I see many couples and the groom to be can be a little bored with all the details that brides love to have just right for "The Day".  They say things like, "I love her and I want to marry her, but I will leave the planning of the wedding day up her her."  Or, "Whatever she likes, I like!" which can be frustrating to bride who wants his opinion.

Hints for the Groom

It might be a good idea if your bride-to-be helps you to shop for your suit to make sure that it complements her gown.

If you are buying new shoes make sure you wear them a few times so that they will be comfortable on your wedding day.

If you are hiring your suits, make sure that the best man and other groomsman/men try their suits on to ensure perfect fit. Check that all suits are in good condition before taking delivery from the hire firm.

Get your hair cut about a week before to prevent the “just cut” look.
