When planning a honeymoon, there are always many tempting options for your destination: The Caribbean, Italy, Mexico, a cruise, etc…

However, one St. Louis couple decided to do things a little differently. A Crestwood, MO couple wanted to spend their first few days as a married couple on a hiking trip (complete with LSD). As it turns out, the bride ended up having a seizure and the groom had to call for help. His story: she fell and hit her head.

Feeling a little stressed from all the wedding planning?  Here are 10 simple solutions to help with that stress-level.

- Have glass of red wine: Just one…maybe two.  But, let’s try to keep it at that.

Gretchen suggests wine, but beer has been known to work as well.

- Jog it off: A brisk walk or jog will assist with blood circulation and breathing, which will literally help you with rising stress-levels.

- Read a book: Ok, well…check out a magazine then – a “man-mag.”  I know, I know…it’ll be hard to stay away from your favorite bridal publication, but, please – resist the temptation.  Or else this stress-reliever will fail.

- Go for a drive:  You don’t need to make it to an actual destination.  There’s just something so relaxing and exciting about heading somewhere but going nowhere.  (Just be sure to call the Fiancée, and assure her you’re not “leaving”…you’ll be back for dinner!)

- Call up an old friend:  From “Twittering” to “Status Updates” on Facebook to text messaging – cell phones aren’t even used for talking anymore.  I say, use up some of those daytime minutes to call up a friend.  Who knows, this may lead to actually hanging out again! This leads me too…

- Hang out with the buddies: Get together with some friends for some male bonding.  “Non-bachelor party” type events are preferable.  How about bowling, or fishing or golf – friendly competition is always healthy and fun.

- Send your Mother some flowers:  Surprising mom with flowers can easily brighten not only her day, but yours!

- Volunteer: Doing something nice for someone always helps take the focus off of ‘your worlds’ stresses.

- Take a nap:   If you can’t afford a 1 hour nap – sometimes, all it takes is a little shut-eye to get your enthusiasm level back up, and your jitters down.

- Ask the Fiancée out on a date:  Who says romance has to end when the wedding planning begins?  It most certainly does not.  Watch a movie, have a nice dinner – reconnect and revive the love.

Pop culture may have you thinking of wedding planners as JLo or Martin Short barking orders and trying to seduce you.  But truthfully, a wedding planner can be a groom’s best friend.

If Frank isn't available for your wedding, OneWed has some great alternative options

Your girl has other things to do besides plan the wedding, which means you’ll get stuck doing everything she doesn’t want to do. This is where a wedding planner can come in handy. Let the planner do the things your fiancée doesn’t want to do. This leaves you free to do something fun, like watch SportsCenter or plan your honeymoon!

Another benefit of the wedding planner is that he or she provides a sounding board for your fiancée. Don’t feel like having a discussion about the difference between Robin’s Egg blue and Tiffany blue? Enter the wedding planner, someone whose job it is to not only listen, but to actually care, about these things.  On the other hand, if there is an issue you care about such as the importance of having a place where you and the guys can light a cigar at the reception, the wedding planner can become your advocate with your bride (and also your advocate with your parents or hers).

Need help finding a wedding planner? Come visit us at OneWed!

We’ve seen some great wedding party entrances at the reception, but this video takes the cake for best intro at the church!

Several months ago we were contacted by the producers at The Tyra Banks Show and asked if we could track down a Groomzilla for them to feature on the show. Being the nice guys that we are, we tracked down a groom that, you might say, doesn’t quite fit the norm.

His name is Miles and he is the definition of a Groomzilla. We won’t say much about him (because we want you to watch the show), but he actually insisted that his wedding take place in Hawaii. The reason: he didn’t want his wedding to be “just another midwest wedding.”

A scene from today's show featuring one of The Man Registry's grooms.

We had a lot of fun helping out the producers at Tyra – and even traveled to New York City to take part in the taping. Be sure to tune in or DVR the show today. Be sure to check when it’s on in your area.
