Making the wedding-planning process a joint effort.
Wedding Planning with your Groom
Many brides have spent so much of their life thinking about their dream wedding that they tend to just take over when it comes to planning the big day. Add a overbearing mother-of-bride, an anxious mother-of-the-groom, and many men end up showing up to the event with little more than an idea of the time and location.

The first thing to do is discuss your vows with each other. Do you each want to write separate vows, or would you like to work together to write vows that you will both say? Next you will need to talk over the options with your officiate. Depending on your religion, there may be some restrictions on personal vows.
