Mommy Dearest When my friend Marisol was planning her wedding, everything that could, went awry: The venue in Mexico closed down, the dress was delivered sans alterations, and her mother-in-law complained about being excluded. Luckily, Marisol learned early on that agonizing over her wedding mishaps was not a productive use of her time. She also learned that this was not the time to fight with her future mother-in-law. |

Groom's Attire Sets the Theme For Weddings |
||
|
Grooming the Groom Everyone’s attention will still be primarily on you, but with the special treatments and products now available, polishing his rougher edges for the big day may no longer sounds like such a bad idea to the groom. |
||
|
It Suits You Fine “Many men are toning down the look of the tuxedo to look a lot like the suit,” |
||
|
Suit Yourself These days, the attention isn’t just on the blushing bride in her beautiful white gown – the handsome groom in his designer wear is also sharing the spotlight. |
||
|
Tuxedo Smarts A girl may dream about her future wedding dress for years, but you will rarely find a guy who aspires to the day he can wear a tuxedo. This lack of preparation can cause the most mild-mannered man to become panic stricken when faced with the many options available for men’s eveningwear. However, your future groom should fear not, a little education is all he’ll need to help him rent that perfect tux for the big day. |
