Grooms make a wedding speechIt may come as a slight shock to the groom that he's got to do a wedding speech. In this video, the guys at Groom Groove give some tips on wedding speeches.Leap Year ProposalJanuary 6th, 2009So we stand corrected on leap year proposals. Appears that they aren't just crazy Australians - as we previously had suggested. No, it's an Irish legend stemming from St. Bridget (bless her). Apparently St. B was unhappy that it took so long for us guys to propose. St. Patrick (yeah, that St. Patrick) compromised by giving women the opportunity to propose on February 29th of a leap year. Anyway, Feb. 29, 2008 is long past. It's almost spring. Brides will have to wait until February 29th, 2012 for their next chance.  Grooms Had Better Shop AroundPhyllis Bergman is President of Mercury Ring Corporation and a jewelry industry expertBefore deciding where to buy your ring you should shop around. Go to a small independent jeweler, a mall store, the Internet. Ask questions. Learn about diamonds and engagement ring settings. Study the difference between the metals. Decide what you are comfortable spending for your ring and then buy at the place that you feel the most comfortable. Sometimes you might spend a little more for service and convenience but it is worth it to you. Remember chances are this is a purchase that is going to last a lifetime and you want to feel confident about where you purchase your ring. My suggestion is that you purchase where you feel they are giving you the right answers to your questions. Ask the Wedding ChickThe Wedding Chick is the real deal - and she answers any question a groom-to-be wants to ask - from groomsmen gifts,men's wedding rings, to wedding attire. Most recently, a groom asks her about his bride getting cold feet. |
