Getting married can be an exciting and overwhelming time. While your bride is busy with all the fine details of planning the wedding you should be prepared for the parts of the event that you need to take care of. Knowing this and getting it done before your bride ask you will not only impress her, but also win you "brownie points."
	Buy an engagement ring.
	Draw up wedding guest list and have your family make out theirs.
	Choose and invite your best man and ushers in the wedding.
	Choose formal wear with your bride to select outfits for you and ushers.
	Choose gifts for ushers to be given out at the rehearsal dinner.
	Choose your brides wedding present, something personal like jewelry or lingerie.
	Select a wedding ring with the bride. This should be engraved on the inside with both of your initials and the date. A personal message is always special.
	Plan the honeymoon several months before the big day to ensure reservations.
	Traditionally the groom pays for the brides bouquet, corsages, and boutonnieres.
	Apply for the marriage license several weeks before and give it to the best man the day of the wedding.
	Check to be sure you and the bride have all the necessary papers, birth certificates, blood test, baptismal certificates, etc.
	Make insurance provisions for your new status.
	Notify your attendants of time and place for rehearsal.
	Provide the clergyman's fee, which is given to the bestman to hold on the wedding day.
	Send a thank-you telegram to your brides parents the next day saying how lovely the event was.
