The Groom (part 1 of 2):
Contrary to popular belief the groom's role in organising a wedding extends far beyond the acceptance of congratulatory drinks and deciding what to wear at the stag party. Firstly there is the small matter of an engagement ring to choose and buy. He has joint responsibility in the major decisions such as choice of wedding venue, photographer and reception. His contribution taking some of the pressure off his bride to be. Then there is the compiling of the guest list (with the help of his parents) for both the wedding ceremony and the reception. When finalised, he would present both lists to the bride's mother. He also chooses the attire of the ushers.
