Wedding Planning Tips for the Groom

By guest blogger Mark Estrada (Robbins Brothers Credit Department)


Congratulations good Sir, you’ve done it! She said yes, you proved that there is at least one person on this planet that truly doesn’t mind your existence or that weird birthmark you have on your lower back. Bask in the glory friend, for it is no small feat. Now, I have a question for you; what’s next?

If you thought it was a year full of putting your feet up and dusting off a Link to the Past, you’re unfortunately mistaken. You don’t have to lose the dream though, because you have your very own Zelda to save. Save her from losing her mind as she plans the wedding of her dreams. Most men, myself included, will agree that the wedding is like Homecoming and Prom smashed together, but with one key element, she gets to wear the crown for the entire engagement. Where do you come in?

You Sir are the fun.


Although planning this wedding has been her dream for a long time, it’s seldom a stress free endeavor. It’s the little things that count. She doesn’t need you to pick the flowers, or even hire the D.J. She’s simple, but chic, and kind of classic, whatever that means, but most of all she’s excited and soon to be overwhelmed. There’s a reason for the term “Bridezilla,” as rude as that may sound it’s the truth. But, it’s not entirely her fault. She’s under a lot of pressure you see. She needs to somehow make this shindig simple, but chic and kind of classic while smashing your love into every single girl’s face.

The point is this, be there when she needs to talk. She’s not fooling herself when she asks you which shade of white, eggshell or ivory, is best for the ribbon that ties her bouquet together. She just wants to know you’re paying attention, and that you care. You need to be there for her when her dream seems out of reach and remind her to have fun and enjoy yourselves. The engagement is the best time to re-date your significant other. The two of you will be out shopping venues, tasting different catering cuisine, sampling music for the first dance.

I didn’t realize it myself until my fiancé and I started visiting venues, first of which was South Coast Winery & Resort. We walked in for lunch and some tasting, try the South Coast Spumante Diamante, it’s fun to say and tastes delicious! We mentioned to the desk attendant that we were looking into wedding venues, and immediately we were greeted with two glasses of wine and a personal tour around the grounds. Either way, we were smiling, and maybe it was the wine or maybe it was our recent engagement but we were having a great time. Drinking and enjoying a beautiful sight with the one you love sounds like a date to me. Take advantage of this time together; make it fun, and exciting. She’ll always remember her wedding day; you’ll never forget how much fun you had getting there.
