I’ve noticed a trend in the past few years.  The days of men saying:  “just tell me where and when to show up” are gone. There are a few reasons this seems to happens.  Lately I’ve had more and more brides in demanding, fast paced careers.  Their grooms seem to have more time than they do, and so become my partner in crime during the planning process.  They take on favor decisions, color schemes, cake choices, everything.  Then there is the groom who is just totally into it.  He wants to be involved in every detail.  I had a groom insist that we email every day for the year before his wedding.  Honestly, even I don’t have that much to say.  😉 And then there is the groom that makes all the other grooms look bad.  This wonderful man had been married to his bride for 10 years and wanted to surprise her for their 10th anniversary.  He arranged for their closest friends and family to join them for an intimate vow renewal.  (Blog on that event coming soon.)  Which are you?  The go with the flow groom?  The overly involved groom?  The totally romantic groom?  I, for one, am all for men becoming more involved with the planning process.  Come on ladies, it’s their day too.
