So... We're heading out of wedding season into proposal season, which means were actually heading into wedding planning season (right, girls?). And guys... we all know that wedding planning isn't exactly your strong suite, right? I mean, are you REALLY supposed to sit there and look through 400,000 pictures of wedding flowers you like best? "They're all white!" you say (fail).
Well, thanks to the help of Patrick W. Gavin (#dudeido) and some other articles, I've compiled a list of helpful lessons for the guys...
Lesson #1 Do not change your Facebook status to "engaged" before your fiancé has alerted all girlfriends.
Lesson #2 Champagne is not just a drink anymore. It’s also, a color.
Lesson #3 Most often used phrase: "You're just going to have to suck it up and invite them." Yes, sadly.
Lesson #4 Things guys don't care about: Linens.
Things guys do care about: Seating arrangements.
Lesson #5 Pick three things you care about early on, and do so carefully... You only get three.
Lesson #6: Calling your in-laws to be "out-laws" during your engagement -- sounds funny, not funny.
Lesson #7: Words you need to learn: "pin spotting" / "up lighting" / "gold damask" / "fondant" / "duet plate"
Lesson #8: Things guys don't care about: Stationery.
Things guys do care about: Slippery When Wet potential of the dance floor.
Lesson #9: Yes, you will have to take part in the, "pick a wedding band night"
Lesson #10: A good way to get dumped & justifiably so--allow Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" to be played by the DJ
Lesson #11: Your fiancé’s fiercely single friends may insist on a bouquet toss over your objections
Lesson #12: Registering for gifts is not nearly as much fun as it sounds.
Lesson #13: Turn and run from any venue that recommends a Murder Mystery Dinner.
Lesson #14: Having a good prepared answer to "How's wedding planning going?" does not include “Fine” or “I don’t know.”
Let me know if you come across anymore helpful hints as I'll be posting more as the "planning season" gets underway!
