| Hi Ladies and grooms! I have somewhat of a rant, but also a question. FH has been amazing for planning the big things: the location, date, cake, invitations, but now that I'm asking him about things like what he has to do on teh wedding day he gets furious because I expect him to do stuff the day of. Things like ensure that the rings and the papers get there. I told him thats why he has groomsmen, to support him. His response was that he didn't have to do that for his best frined who got married last September. And I told him, yeah, because I did it. I was following the bride around helping her out and SHE sent me over to remind the groom and make sure he had the things because in all honesty FH was a LOUSY Best Man. So now, when it comes to our wedding, he expects the same thing is going to happen for our wedding! Over my dead body! I'm not playing stage manager that day because I'm going to be the Leading Lady!!!! I could go on about the things he said that just made me want to choke him, but instead, ladies adn Grooms on the board, do you have a list of responsibilities of the groom for planning and for the day of the wedding? It could REALLY help!

We avoided this by hiring a day of co-ordinator to help us through the day! Totally worth it IMHO, suggest this to FH and see if he either a.) wants to pick up the slack OR b.) wants to pick up the tab!

| ^^ good advice! I didn't even know that you could hire a day co-ordinator, pretty cool. But give him the option of either having to pay for someone's help.... or if he's willing to do it himself for free! I'm sure he'll make the right choice

| I was thinking of this. But other than the two things that need to be remembered (rings and paper) what else does a wedding DAY coordinator do? I'm not paying someone just to remember rings and paper... Maybe it would be a good idea, a groom baby sitter essentially...FH told our BM at his wedding that to keep the rose bouts fresh before the wedding they should put them in the freezer!!!!!!!!!!! SO their flowers were half dead for the wedding.... I do have a friend who is sorta helping me, but the day of stuff will be more difficult as she has a 4 year old and 2 year old...

I don't know what a groom is suppose to do other than show up with the rings looking all 'purdied up'.  But my FH is doing the food so he'll be directing his friends who we hired to cook. That's a lot of work so I don't expect him to do much else.

Here is a great website for the groom to be. I pointed it out to my FH and it lets him know things he can do. Its funny though because it really talks to the guys on their own level ie their slogan is
we make you look good. or at least not dumb. And the first line says :
Welcome to Groom411, your guide to the good, bad and ugly of being a groom. Feel free to click, explore and learn.Plus gain valuable bonus points if your fiancée sees you actually researching your wedding.
he he he
Its a really good site, has an excuse maker (like they need one right?)
the website is www.groom411.com
get him to check it out!!
