If your mom is anything like mine was, she’s having a hell of a time deciding what she’ll wear to the wedding, rehearsal dinner, engagement party etc. Apparently women get pretty picky when it comes to dressing up for a big event. Lucky for Mom, we’ve got details on a HUGE contest being put on by Ming Wang (that we just happen to be judging). Win the contest, and your mom will officially be done worrying about wedding attire. Details are below:

The contest launches on the Ming Wang Facebook page on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 and runs through February 7, 2011

Submit an essay (500 words or less) on why your mother or your fiancee’s mother deserves a bridal season wardrobe and day of beauty *Be sure to mention that you heard about the contest on The Man Registry’s GroomsAdvice blog!

One grand prize winner will receive a Ming Wang bridal season wardrobe (includes 4 full looks) for the wedding and events leading up to it (engagement party, bridal shower, etc.) along with a gift certificate to a local salon for a day of beauty before the wedding.

They will also select two runner-up winners that will receive a Ming Wang dress.

The three winners will be selected by public vote and select wedding blogger judges (including us!)

Entrants and voters must be Facebook users and are encouraged to “like” the Ming Wang Facebook page to stay up to date on the contest and news. You can also follow Ming Wang on Twitter.

It's all laughs with mom until the bride tries to steal her baby boy..

One of the big mysteries of married life is why two women with so much in common just can’t get along.  I’m talking of course about your fiancée and your mom!  Even if your mom and your girl got along great while you were dating, expect some flare-ups while you’re planning the wedding.  As a guy, your natural instinct is to stay far, far away from fights that don’t involve you.

Here’s a little secret info from OneWed- every magazine, episode of Oprah, and all your girl’s friends are telling her that YOU should be the one to solve this problem. In fact, these fights may escalate because your girl is waiting for you to intervene. Now… what you do and how you solve it totally depends on the situation.  But as your official bride’s-eye-view, I thought you’d want to know, now is the time to act! Good luck!
