In all the wedding I’ve seen, particularly in the movies, the groom seems to be the one with all the time in the world. He doesn’t have to worry about his hair to be done for hours like his bride’s hair should. The groom doesn’t have to think of any special techniques to get into his coat or his tuxedo to make sure he wears it perfectly unlike the bride who might need at least 2 or 3 persons to help her slip in to her wedding gown, making sure that all the details of the dress are kept in place and nothing is torn or detached.

But then again, given that the groom doesn’t have to be as detailed as the bride, there happen to be a number of things which the groom may do to be able to avoid virtually any mishaps during this specific day. No one would like anything awful to happen during their wedding day so this listing of must-haves is especially directed to the grooms out there. You are also responsible in maintaining order on that specific day. To do so you need to:

1. Make sure that the specific suit, tuxedo, coat or whatever you are wearing for the wedding is clean, mended and ready to wear on the wedding day itself. If you are supposed to dress up at the wedding venue, the least thing you can easily do is to bring your clothes there at least one day before so you won’t have a chance to forget it. While you are at it, make sure that you bring your wallet, your money, credit cards and your driver’s license as well. If you’re going on your honeymoon straight after the wedding dinner, then you might need to pack your things completely at the least a couple of days before to make sure everything’s there.

2. If you’re supposed to get dressed at home or at the hotel, make sure to lay everything where you can see them. Don’t assume that you know where to find everything when you get dressed tomorrow because this is when you start to get rattled and nervous and chances are you’ll forget to bring something.

3. Pack additional toiletries like comb, hair gel, locks spray, toothbrush, deodorant, dental floss, cologne and a good breath spray. You never know when one of your respective groomsmen might need something at the venue. At least you have a number of things that you could lend them.

4. Should you be under a medication, don’t forget to pack your medical pack set the night before. Put it in the bag where your other toiletries are and put it in your car right away so you won’t have any possibilities of leaving it behind. You don’t want any major medical conditions to take away the limelight from you and your bride during your wedding day.

5. Please don’t forget to bring a good breath spray or breath mints to help freshen your breath. I know this is something personal but you might just take your bride’s breath away when you kiss her and you still have the essence of the pizza you ate the day before. You will really knock her off her feet literally when you kiss her with your breath smelling like that.

When a wedding gets near, we can’t avoid every person in the family from giving out a lot of unsolicited advices to both the bride and the groom. Their particular families will likely give out recommendations on what they think is good. We happen to be all focused on what must be done. But who tells you what NOT to do? That’s definitely just one of the factors that men and women are missing out once they give out advice to the soon-to-be-couple. There happen to be a few things that I’d prefer to add to your wedding list. These are the things you should avoid.

We all know that your family means no harm to your wedding day and they could only wish you all the best. In fact, they have a tendency to plan the wedding according to what worked for them or their friends before and now they are applying it to your wedding. It’s actually not awful but sometimes, what works for them may not work for you and it could only make things worse for your wedding day.

Don’t allow anyone else to decide how your wedding should go. It is your big day and not theirs. You should take part in the decision making since these people who are trying to help would have to consult you first if you think their ideas could suit your taste and not the other way around when they would just inform you of what they will be doing for your wedding. It just doesn’t work that way. Even wedding planners and coordinators “coordinate” with the bride and the groom first before making any further steps in preparation for the wedding.

In being a hands-on bride, you want all the best and you won’t settle for anything less on your big day. From the dress, decorations up to the menu, nothing should be left out. We should also consider that we are only human who get tired and exhausted. You tend to do and mind all the major responsibilities to make the wedding a success and end up the most stressed out person in the entire celebration when you should be the one enjoying. You need to delegate people to do a particular job for your wedding. Better yet, get a good wedding planner who will take all the stress for you. That way, all you’ll have to worry about is how to slip into your gown perfectly on the big day.

This rule is always being overlooked in special occasions like weddings. Please do not be late. It does not matter if you’re an important part of the entourage or if you’re the bride or the groom. Just do not be tardy. Don’t make guests and your soon-to-be spouse waiting for you. I’ve already been to a number of weddings and this is usually the case. Every person ends up worrying if something came up and either the bride or the groom backed out of the wedding. And then here comes the bride all dressed in white. It took her quite some time so now the flowers are all dry. We do not want that to happen, do we?

Whatever it is, don’t worry about it. Don’t worry that something wrong might happen during the big day because believe it or not, the more you think of it, the more it will happen. So just relax and get married!

As far as men are concerned, gifts are as good as anything you give them. Just like anybody else, you want to make the gifts you give a man as unique as possible. If you can’t make one yourself, at least buy something that you can still customize somehow. It doesn’t need to be expensive as long as you know he can use it or it is something that interests him.

1. Sporting goods is the most common type of gift a man would most likely appreciate. That is of course, if he’s into a particular sport. You may get him a personalized set of barbells if he’s into body building, a nicely autographed baseball bat by his favorite baseball player, a set of basketball cards of his favorite basketball star or a new bowling ball with his initials engraved on it. The choices are unlimited as long as you know what he wants and it’s within your budget.

2. A superior wine which will suit his taste is something he can certainly love, specifically if you’ll share it with him. It is the variety of gift a woman gives to a man whom she finds romantic and has very good taste for excellent wine. You may at least customize it by simply putting the bottle in a basket you personally designed to add a touch of your respective artistry.

3. If he’s into cars, you can get him a small replica of his car. Have it painted similarly to the car he owns and put it in a special box that he can keep safely. I am pretty sure that with all the car manufacturers out there, Matchbox will have a complete and updated version of each that comes in every color you can imagine. You can also get him a new set of tools that he can use in repairing his car.

4. A number of blokes can easily be incredibly vain in their own ways so you might want to offer them colognes, perfumes, skin care goods or spa gift certificates. If you’re giving them spa gift certificates, make it a point to get another one for yourself too so that you will be able enjoy it together.

5. Outdoor equipment make good gifts for men who love to go fishing, camping or simply going on road trips occasionally. You can get them a new fishing rod, a new set of fishing hooks, a new tent or even a new picnic backpack set that you can enjoy together when you go on a picnic.

6. Nowadays, with all the latest technology gadgets springing out everywhere, most guys love getting something new in the market like a new camera phone with wifi capabilities, a new laptop that they can use for gaming, a new game for their Xbox or even as simple as a new remote control for their TV.

It really differs and there are generally plenty of devices to choose from. You just need to know what he loves and what he needs. You don’t have to get him something extremely expensive. Just don’t forget to add a minimal personal touch to it and you’re all set.

It has been a long time since I last spotted my manager. It’s a good thing I have been getting news from her via social networking sites these days. As I recall her, Sharon is the type of girl who wouldn’t want to be tied up to somebody as she’s delighted being free as a bird. All she could care for was to get by with the day’s work. She was kind of workaholic for me, though. And when she plays, she is a playaholic since she knows how to party real hard. She loves grunge fashion and she loves rock music.

I really had a difficult time considering her as a manager. She was more like a buddy and a colleague I would see everyday at the office. At work, we weren’t permitted to surf the World Wide Web during work hours. And since she was my manager, I got away with it. I spent a number of hours surfing the internet, saving photographs of my personal favorite super heroes and then print them later on, in full color utilizing the company’s printer which was only a few meters away from me. She knew that and she let me get away with it. Certainly, I dearly loved her for that.

Just one day, she told me she was leaving due to the fact she did not agree with the way of the management. She said there was a lot of connivance and corruption going on in the office and she did not want any part of it. She hugged me and whispered in my ear to be mindful of the people around me when she leaves simply because she will not be there to defend me anymore. I cried and hugged her for the last time. And then she went into the elevator going down. That was the last incident I ever saw her.

After some years, a lot of social networking sites have sprung up like mushrooms. Needless to say, I had to register with the majority of them simply because I was told that I will be capable of finding and getting in touch with old friends again once they sign up for it as well. And I wasn’t frustrated. I stumbled upon Sharon in a very well-known networking site. I promptly invited her to be in my pals list and she responded at once.

These days, we’ve already been chatting a lot using the site’s instant messenger tool and was I astounded just now when she told me she’s getting married tomorrow. She will become Mrs. Russ. She showed me their particular wedding rings through the images she uploaded. They’re like infinite gold vines. Hers is a smaller one and a larger one for her soon-to-be husband. She showed me her husband’s gifts to her with their images attached to it along with the wedding gown for tomorrow’s occasion. It’s simply breathtaking. The dress sparkled like a diamond and has a lot of gold beads sewn on to the base of the gown. She even showed me the cufflinks she will give to her groom as a gift. The cufflinks appeared as if it were a couple of platinum disco balls.

She said she selected that design simply because they both love positive music and they both love to dance. I am just extremely happy for. She said we’ll see each other soon and she will introduce her husband, too. Even if I am unable to be at their wedding tomorrow, I am very honored to be one of the first ones to see her gown, their rings, the cufflinks and of course, the bride-to-be.

I find it strange when the bride or the groom runs tardy for their wedding. Well, it happens each and every time in the movies so why not in reality, right? Running tardy just gives all the suspense to either the bride or even the groom, waiting for their lover to show up anytime soon for their wedding. Not to mention the thrill and excitement that the men and women attending happen to be deriving from this diva-like attitude. It would likely either help to make almost everyone relieved when the tardy one arrives, or everyone gets angry for keeping them so nervous that she or he isn’t really arriving. Runaway bride, anybody? Sorry but it is not going to work anymore. You have got to be there simply by hook or by simply crook.

Some men blame being late on being so drunk the night before because of stag parties and such. Some blame it on the fact that they weren’t able to sleep at all and just before the sun rises, they were able to catch a snooze but then they get a little more than just a short snooze. Some blame it on faulty bridal cars or the driver got sick and so a replacement had to be found first. Another common reason for girls being late for the wedding is their make up.

They just can’t settle on what type of cosmetics to wear. That is the make up artist comes in. It’s their particular problem and that is what they’re getting paid a generous amount for so let them do it. Doing the locks is another. You ought to get a hairstylist who knows how to set up hair instantly and when we say locks, we’re not referring to ponytails and pullbacks. We’re talking about large, curly hair flowing out of the tiara and what have you. Better check discussions on the net for the hairdo you’d want for the wedding at least several months before so that you could still look and canvass for hairstylists who could do that for you.

For men, get your ties, bows, suits, belts, cufflinks, shoes and other paraphernalia ready for the big day. Lay them on the bed where you could see every item. Just like how the girls lay all their stuff on the bed to make it easier for them to see if everything’s in place (and for photo shoot purposes as well). Another thing to make sure is the bridal car. You don’t want the car to break down in the middle of the road halfway to the church, right? Unless you want a dramatic entrance, running all the way to the wedding ceremony and looking like a sweat sock on your wedding day.

The cake must also be ordered ahead of time as you would still combine the design with the way you desire it to appear and taste. If you are having a reception, plan on the menu ahead of time. Play safe. Do not bring in excessive seafood and nuts as numerous folks would be allergic to them. If you wish to go somewhat exotic, you better plan for the menu and make sure they are edible and reliable to eat. You do not want your wedding reception to turn into a mass grave.

Anyways, look out for gate crashers. You can’t miss them in case you take care of everything in advance and if you’re not late on your wedding day to find everyone come and witness your big day.
