It is the bride who receives the lion's share of the attention in the runup to the wedding. Not only do brides tend to be more keen on finding a PEI cottage for rent for the reception and choosing china patterns, the bride has more elements of the ceremony to look after. In all the hubbub, it's easy for grooms to fall by the wayside. But don't forget your groom entirely. After all, without a groom there can be no wedding! Here are some of the things your groom will need to at least have input on for the wedding.

The Tux

Even if your husband to be has his own tuxedo from being a driver for a fancy GTA limo service, it will still need to be cleaned, pressed, and accessorized for the occasion. If he doesn't have a tux, he'll have to rent or buy one. He should get final say on the style, but of course you should be there to help him coordinate colors and styles and to tell him which one he looks best in. Cummerbunds, ties, pocket squares, and boutonnieres can all be coordinated to match your dress, but beware of matching too much as it can be emasculating for him.

The Rings

Your wedding rings are pieces of jewelry that you will wear every day for the rest of your lives, so you should both have a say in what style you choose. Go together to the jewelry store to choose and try on different models. You don't necessarily have to get identical rings. If the one you like is too bulky to keep on while he's repairing Avaya IP telephones, he could get one that coordinates but isn't a cloned copy. The important thing is that you like them enough and feel comfortable enough in them to keep them on all the time.

The Vows

It takes two to get married, so when it comes time to pledge your lives to one another, you should be equal partners. Many couples find the standard marriage vows too outdated or impersonal and choose to write their own. If you don't like the standard vows, you and your Toronto naturopathic doctor should both decide to write your own so that no one is forced into something they're not comfortable with. You don't necessarily have to tell them what you're going to say, but you should check in with each other to make sure you're both going to be prepared on the big day.

The Honeymoon

The honeymoon is a week or more of vacation time in which you'll be in each other's company 24/7. If your new husband hates the location you chose he might be tempted to do some work on leveraged ETFs while you're there, so where to go on the honeymoon should be a mutual decision.
