She Said......He Said


Happens all the time............. she says XYZ, and he says, "WHAT???"

There are so many kind, gentle, loving, adorable suggestions that a bride gives her soon to be husband for their wedding day! And, more than a few of them are rejected out of hand.

Frequently, when we get to the wedding day a groom will say to us..........."oh, THAT is why she told me to do that!" You know, sometimes a guy just needs more information.

The short list of Wedding Do's for Men:

  • Get a manicure. Your hands WILL be in photos, and I am not kidding, you will feel badly that you didn't. We hear it every single week! It isn't like you have to do this weekly from here on out or anything! Well, unless you want to, that is!
  • Make sure your tux and all of your groomsmen have been professionally fitted! There is nothing worse that showing up on your big day and looking less than handsome!
  • Tuck a handkerchief in your pocket. Or two! You can purchase cheapies just about anywhere and they will come in handy... trust me!
  • If you are getting married in hot weather, you might want to consider renting a spare shirt. This is another thing we hear every week, guys would love the opportunity to change when they've been sweating up a storm.
  • Don't get trashed the night before your wedding. Or at your wedding.
  • And lastly, on the short list that is, make sure you tell your bride that she is beautiful. A lot!
We're super fortunate to be able to build long lasting and wonderful relationships with our grooms before the wedding, assuming they live in town that is. There are lots of great tips and they always want our opinion, a fact we appreciate and do not take lightly! So brides...... if you need a little buzzword dropped in the ear of anyone in particular............ just let me know!
