Bride and Groom

Although a wedding day is possibly the biggest day in a woman’s life, it is also the biggest day for her husband-to-be and these days the responsibilities of planning the perfect wedding falls to both people.

Although the bride will probably take responsibility for co-ordinating and organising the finer details of the wedding, the groom should be jointly responsible for the overall style of wedding. As a couple they will together choose their wedding date, the ceremony venue, be it a church or civil affair, the guest list and the reception venue as well as the photographer, videographer, and caterers.

Individually, the bride has the responsibility of bringing all her and her groom's plans together for the wedding day while the groom has his own list of things to do:

• Choose the best man and ushers
• Organise wedding day transport
• Buy the rings
• Book the honeymoon
• Choose outfits for himself, the best man and ushers
• Book the first night hotel
• Help choose gifts for the best man, ushers and bridesmaids
• Work out his speech for the reception
• Ensure all bills are settled on the day
