Getting married isn't all ball & chains. There's a lot of hard work to do before you spend the rest of your life wondering what the heck you were thinking. Planning a wedding is not easy and as the groom you're probably going to discover that despite the fact that virtually none of the decisions are yours Marquinhos World Cup Jersey , you still have to do half the work.
Some women would have you believe there are actual "rules" to who-does-what when it comes to weddings. There are not, however, some traditions come close. The bride is usually responsible for things that involve the "look" or "theme" of the wedding (wedding reception hall, flowers, wedding invitations Marcelo World Cup Jersey , wedding photographer, etc) and the groom has to do what might be casually referred to as "everything else".
Most often, the groom is responsible for:
* Your half of the guest list * Marriage License * Arrangements for blood tests (if required) * Transportation Limousine * Music (Band DJ) * Rehearsal Dinner Toast * Best Man Groomsmen Gifts * Wedding Night Accomodations (if you're not leaving immediately on Honeymoon) * Honeymoon
Schedule the marriage license and blood tests as soon as you can with your fiance (you both have to be there). Since this does require both of you, do this before anything else to get it out of the way before things start to get hectic.
Make sure you discuss everything with her and be absolutely clear on who is responsible for doing what. You just might impress her by knowing what you've got to do before she does and being proactive.
Once everything is settled it's time to get to work. Get everything on your list checked off well in advance of the wedding date. You don't want anything hanging over you in the final run up to the wedding and considering how much stress everyone else will be under your best move is to stand ready to put out political fires from inter and intra-family conflicts as they arise.
May you have the best of luck, because you are most certainly going to need every bit of it!
