If you haven’t heard, we’re in the process of writing a wedding book for men. Unlike a lot of the books and magazines that currently exist for grooms, ours is being written and designed by actual MEN. This means that instead of reinforcing the idea that you’re just an accessory to your bride’s “big day,” this book will promote your involvement in the planning process and demonstrate ways to leave your manly mark on the festivities.

I recently completed the first chapter of the book which focuses on the pre-wedding parties (bachelor parties, showers and groom roasts.) Next up, I’ll be tackling a chapter that’s all about setting up your (wedding planning) plan of attack. One segment of this chapter will focus on surviving wedding shows. I’d love to hear some feedback from former grooms that attended a wedding show and made it out alive. If you’d like to share your experience, please post in the comments section below. I’ll be including several real groom success stories in the book, so you may just end up being immortalized in print.

More updates to come soon…

Cheers,
Chris

Some dream of writing the Great American Novel. We’ll just settle for the Great American Groom Guide..

That’s right, we’re pumped to announce that we’ve finalized a deal with Penguin Publishing to author a book on being “the man” at your wedding! The book will focus on the aspects of wedding planning that grooms actually care about. In other words, this definitely won’t be your mother’s wedding planning guide. Hell, we’ve already got some possible titles in mind:

Run!

Grooms: It’s All Uphill From Here

Ball and Chain: A Layman’s Guide to the Rest of Your Life

Alright, in all seriousness, we do want to make this a valuable guide for grooms. Between now and the release date in December, we’re going to be posting updates on the progress of the book. We’ll even be asking for input from our blog readers and social media followers. We’ll start today. Guys, what do you want to read about in a wedding book? Please, be as bold as you’d like. We can tell you how to tip a stripper… all you’ve gotta do is ask.

We won the only award better than a Dundie

We did it! We won the only award that we wanted more than a Dundie. That’s right, we’re talking about the 2010 Aisledash Wedding Blog Award for ‘Best Groom Blog.’ Now I know that you’re all thinking “who did those guys have to sleep with to take home the big prize?” Hey, we don’t blame you. And the answer is a lot.

Truthfully, there was some very fierce competition in the category with our friends The Groom Says and Temple of Groom both equally deserving of the award. Hell, one of them would probably have won if we hadn’t paid off the voters. If you’re not reading both of these blogs, you’re missing out on the true groom experience

And real quick, before we get cut off by Kanye West, we want to give a huge thanks to the judges and say congrats to all of the nominees. You guys rock!
