The Groom’s Wedding Duties


Not sure about the groom’s duties when it comes to the wedding plans? While there are no hard and fast rules these days—especially with couples (instead of parents) personally footing more of the bill than ever before—here’s a quick list of the duties the groom typically handles:

 • Marriage license

• Officiant’s fee

• Writing vows (if applicable)

• The bride’s wedding band

• The bride’s bouquet

• The bride’s gift

• The groom’s wedding day attire

• Gifts for the groomsmen, ushers and ring bearers

• Wedding day transportation

• The rehearsal dinner

• The honeymoon

Of course, couples may choose to divvy up the wedding duties however they see fit, so guys, make sure to create a game plan up front with your fiancée to manage expectations, decide who will cover each detail, and ensure that your plans remain within budget.

♥ Beverly and Al ♥


Beverly and Al were married at the end of July at the Holiday Inn Bordeaux Fayetteville, NC. Their colors were red and white, and as you can tell, the bride's dress was also beautifully done. The stormy weather outside did not prevent their love-filled special day, and the wedding was held on time. On a personal note, my home which is about five miles away, was without power. I was so glad to see their wedding had no interference and went on without any problems!
