Something for the Groom...

With so much attention focused on the bride and wedding day details, I thought it might be fitting to shift the spotlight to the co-star of the marriage … our groom. I am delighted to feature some wonderful ideas that encourage you to share the excitement of the wedding day. They are simple, but unforgettable touches that will, no doubt, remind him how very special you are, but also communicate the measures of your love.

Breakfast in bed: How many times have we heard the old adage that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach? If this rings true in your relationship, then begin his morning with a wonderful surprise that includes his breakfast favorites. You will have him eating his heart out!

Love note: Take time to prepare a letter to your soon-to-be husband. Express to him in words what your exchange of vows and relationship mean to you. Perhaps you would like to share with him the butterflies and exhilaration of seeing him waiting for you at the end of the aisle or the moment you are pronounced husband and wife. The note could arrive “special delivery” with breakfast, or in the hands of a trusted friend or family member. In this day and age, if you are unable to write a note … text him!

Pre-nuptial pampering: What guy doesn’t want and appreciate being pampered? Allow him to fill the morning hours with relaxation by scheduling a massage, manicure or perhaps a professional shave.

Get him to the church on time: Begin your lives together with the gift of time. A watch or time piece make the perfect grooms gift. And just think of all the romantic notes that could complement the package … “counting the hours and minutes,” “until the end of time” etc.

So whether by means of breakfast on a silver tray, a warm professional shave, or a gift, there are many ways you can creatively tell him just how excited you are to be his bride!
