Your
Engaged!!!
You've asked the
woman of your dreams to marry you. Congratulations on your
engagement.! Unlike many men who don't know what they want,
you have the wisdom and resolve to capture the initiative and
start traveling the path toward real happiness and
satisfaction.
Moving from the
bachelor mind-set into thoughts of marriage can often be a
scary leap of faith into the unknown. Knowing that you've
found the woman you want to share your life with is a life
changing experience. The only questions you should have know
is how and when. Deciding to get married makes you a man of
action. Now the only hurdle between you and married life is
the wedding and I bet you thought that would be pretty simple.
"No problem... I pop the question, and then several months
later we go to the church and exchange vows. Bingo, Im
married. What most grooms are unprepared for is the interval
between "Will you?" and "I do". As soon as the engagement is
announced self appointed wedding experts appear from
everywhere. With only the best of intentions, these so
called experts want to dictate the "proper etiquette" to
handle every situation of your wedding, from the wording of
your invitations and vows down to the kind of food you will
eat at your reception.
The groom soon
recognizes that in the world of social protocol and proper
etiquette, planning a wedding is only slightly less
complicated than planning D-day. The bride has many resources
at her disposal, instructing her in proper etiquette in
everything she does. With hundreds of books and at least six
magazines with the word "Bride" in their titles, all full of
information and advice, chances are, your fiancée has already
become quite the wedding expert herself. And the groom?
Well, the groom is supposed to know everything.
