Tying the knot remains one of the most important steps everyone would likely take at some time in their life. According to PBS, about 2 million marriages happen annually in the US alone. Most of the pressure of planning weddings typically falls on the bride, but grooms must also take care of some vital needs to ensure that their big day goes off without a hitch. Are you contemplating the list of things to do before your wedding ceremony? Here are some points to consider.
- Secure the rings
There are several traditions regarding ring buying during marriage planning, but you will likely be responsible for buying both rings for the ceremony. As such, take time to get the perfect rings for you and your partner to make your day even more special. Unless you are a jewelry expert, settling on the ‘perfect’ ring can be challenging, given your wide range of options. Therefore, experts like Jacob Mercari recommend that you decide on the shape, metal type, and carat size of the rings to narrow your options. It is also essential to provide the correct measurements to pick fitting rings, so keep this in mind.
- Plan the honeymoon
Honeymoon planning is traditionally the groom’s responsibility, and you certainly want to get this right since it will be the first alone time spent with your newly-wed bride. Honeymoon planning demands much time and effort, especially if it involves a trip outside the country. Therefore, it would help to get on with it as soon as possible. Choose a destination and book any flights and accommodation in advance. Also, ensure that your passports are valid and take care of any behind-the-scenes honeymoon specifics, ensuring you set the stage properly for the perfect getaway for you and your wife.
- Settle on your wedding day look
As your bride sorts out her gown details, you must also settle on your look for the big day. You can brainstorm ideas with your groomsmen or hire a professional stylist to help you decide on the perfect look. A classic suit is typically the traditional groom look, so some thorough tux shopping with your groomsmen will help you find your preferred suit. Any other accessories that will accompany your look, like belts, shoes, ties, and socks, must also be sorted out long before the big day to prevent any last-minute buying.
- Polish your dance moves
Knowing how expectant people are to see you bust some dance moves at your wedding is enough to give many people cold feet. As such, dancing is a dreaded aspect of the wedding ceremony for many couples. However, as WeddingWire reports, it remains traditional that 91% of couples performed their first dance at their wedding reception in 2019. Therefore, it won’t hurt to learn a few tricks and polish your dancing skills before the wedding ceremony. Thankfully, you can rely on YouTube tutoring to prepare yourself or take solo dance classes to surprise a few on your big day.
