Manning Up in the Women’s World of Weddings
By Guest Blogger: Ben the Groom
I’ve learned that becoming a better fiancé doesn’t mean you have to throw all masculinity to the wind nor does it mean you need to fall in love with color Inspiration boards and the latest wedding trends of 2010. Your bride to be doesn’t need your detailed opinion on chair covers and ring pillows. What she really wants is to see you manning up to the occasion.
Eating healthy & staying in shape will make this wedding planning thing a lot easier.
Dedicate more time these next few month to your health and style. Your bride will love watching you eat healthier and exercising more regularly. She’ll assume the changed you is in preparation for the wedding (fitting into a suit, pictures, more energy). She’ll be happier, you’ll be looking better, and you haven’t had to give one thought to what salt shakers to register for.
This is also an excellent time to work on your image and wardrobe. Go in for a fresh new haircut and try something different. Ask your fiancé what she thinks and how it would look on the big day. Start shopping for new cuff links instead of opting for the generics that come with the rented tux. Spend sometime working on yourself and it will go a long way in the eyes of your bride.

Take Ben’s advice boys…a happy bride is a happy groom. Just show your bride that you care, that all they really want. Listen when she wants to share wedding related things with you. Thanks for sharing Ben!

Nice post. Brides tend to get engrossed with the planning, so I think they just want to see you somewhat interested in some aspect of the wedding. You don’t need to love the planning, but taking an interest in a few parts, even if it’s just the food and venue, will make her feel better.
