What's your bloke doing?

Postby Lizzabel » Wed Jan 20, 2010 12:20 pm

Ladies, I'm wondering what stuff you are getting the groom to do? My fella is doing sweet FA. We went to look at a band together but that's about it. I'm going a bit :crazy

What stuff is the groom traditionally supposed to do when it comes to helping with the wedding?

Mine is sorting suits and was supposed to be doing the honeymoon but I got bored and started looking up places!! :lol:

Ah I dont mind really, sure if I left him to sort it out I'd only end up going with him to make sure it was done right!! :lol: He'll be helping me with the invitations as well cause he's the arty one in this relationship!

My h2b has rang and sourced videographers and got them to send out dvd samples. He has been on hotel searching duty too for hm!! He has gone into some shops to get stuff too. We organized rings, hm destination, suits and band together.
Bought him The Grooms Guide-he had no idea til then the amount of work involved in a honeymoon!!I would recommend something similar for every b2b to give h2b!!

well we booked the venue, church, band and photographer. Mind you i did the organising he came along for a listen or a look and like everything.
his main role will be the wedding cars, I'm giving him free reign with that.

Its gas he reckoned sure you'd have a wedding sorted and all done in two weeks and doesn't know what all the hassle is about. thats cos booked all the above in the first two weeks, and he reckons it all done now really. god bless him.

We kinda worked together on the main things - venue, band, cars, photographer and videographer! He does all the ringing - I email, lol!! I'm looking into the invites side and the flowers!! He will be looking after the suits (with my supervision!)
I ask his opinion and he says ... "yeh, thats nice!!!"

He's supposed to be doing the honeymoon - but I think it will be a joint decision!! lol Although I'd love him to surprise me!!

My H2b is leaving it all up to me.

We did decide on the church together, and he came with me when we went to look at venues and pick a band but I think he was happy enough with what I wanted to go for
