Hello Lovely Readers!! Hoping your week is going fantastic and that you are getting the much needed help to plan your wedding!

On that note, I have a great post from our friends over at GoldeNet about the grooms role and how he should be helping out!  Get a writing device out and jot some notes down!

No, this isn’t about extra-marital affairs, but the groom’s duties and responsibilities. The bride alone shouldn’t have a crazy checklist. He should also be out there helping with some of the things that must be done to make the wedding celebration fun and memorable.

Your responsibilities as a groom surely don’t end with the proposal. In fact, depending on the culture and traditions you and your bride follow, your to-do list can range from a short note to an endless rundown of duties.

But here are 10 general things you should keep in mind as your wedding day approaches. Some of these are basic duties, while the others will help make your bride love you even more.

1) Get Your Marriage License

  • This includes researching everything you need to get all the required documents to get married. Please remember that you might need to do this months ahead, particularly if one of you is a foreigner. Wedding requirements vary from country to country or from state to state.
  • 2) Give Your Guest List to Your Bride Ahead of Time
  • Don’t wait until your bride has to nag you about finishing your guest list. Have the initiative to give her a complete line-up way ahead of deadlines for the venue, catering, etc. This will greatly help lessen her stress.

3) Pay for the Wedding Rings

  • In almost all cultures and countries, the groom’s the one who does purchase the wedding rings. If you lost your mind looking through all the engagement rings offered by jewelers in your area and on the Internet, don’t worry so much this time. Now, you’ll have your bride with you, so you don’t have to guess which ring design she’d want to wear.

4) Get Your Own Outfit 

  • Even if your culture dictates that the bride or her family shoulders the wedding expenses, be man enough to insist on paying or renting your own tux, suit, or whatever outfit you’ve agreed on.
  •  But it would be great if you ask your bride to go with you when shopping for your outfit. She should know what would best compliment her dress.

5) Organize the Male Entourage Members

  • Make sure they’ll wear the proper attire on your big day. And more importantly, ask them to help out wherever you may need them. You can assign one to oversee the wedding gifts and the transportation that will take them to your home. And you can ask two others to make sure that guests are all entertained.
  • And don’t forget to thank them with small tokens during the rehearsal dinner or right before the reception ends.

6) Plan Your Honeymoon

  • You wouldn’t leave this to your bride, would you? Of course, you should take charge of this. And it would be great if you’ve also made certain that your new home is organized and liveable after you return from your honeymoon. Your bride would love it if she doesn’t have to arrange everything in your new home right after your trip.

7) Be at Your Best on Your Wedding Day

  • This would mean that you’ve properly groomed yourself days, or even weeks, ahead. Make sure your outfit is clean and well-pressed. If you wear your hair long or have a beard, you should still have it trimmed just so you won’t look like a hermit.

8) Be Early

  • Call it double standard, but a bride can be easily forgiven if her car arrives late. But the groom just has to be at the venue early, no matter what. So make it a point to be there before your bride.

9) Give Your Bride a Gift

  • You can give this to her before the ceremony or after your celebration, depending on the kind of gift you’re giving. If it’s something for her to wear for the wedding, you just have to find a way to give it to her before, obviously. But it would also be sweet if it’s something you can hand to her on your wedding night.

10) Compliment Your Bride

  • Tell her something that will make her smile or even blush. Whatever it is, say something sincere. You can say this right after her father or family member hands her over to you before the ceremony. Or you can save it right before you step out of the wedding car and into a reception hall full of well-wishers. Another great idea is to tell her something sweet while you’re having your photos taken after the ceremony.
