Get Your Groom On

Monday, May 12, 2008

Pssst. Please don't tell Tom Biro that there's only one job for a groom when it comes to the wedding. That is: show up with a ring.

Tom, who you may know as our all-around tech guy, is tying the knot next June. Since working 22 hours a day is not quite enough for him, Tom's just launched Groomify, the coolest go-to place on the web for husbands-in-training.

Groomify advises grooms not to go for the cellphone-bearing cake toppers (shown) and has advice for handling the notoriously naughty Best Man speech. It also includes engagement ring suggestions and wedding party videos, as well as features decoding the language of the modern American female.

Quick, Tom. Here's an exercise from husband-to-be boot camp. When she asks, "Do I look fat?" you say...

My Ballot Box
Do I look fat?

Of course not, you look fabulous.
Umm, no, but I've never really liked red pants
What is fat, really? It's a state of mind...
Do I look stupid?

Gosh, what is it with 2008? I know so many people--including myself--who are tying the knot! Not to mention Mariah Carey and Jenna Bush.

Congrats, Tom! All the best to you.

Now that you bring up cake toppers: Does anyone know anyone who designs personalized cake toppers? I've look all over the internet and cannot find what I want. Everything is soooo hokey or Prescious Momenty. Ugh.

All suggestions welcome. I am at the point where I just may design my own.

What a great idea. It'll save a lot of women all that training time.

try ebay. You can get anything on ebay. I had a lovely lady custom make my catherdral length veil for like $400 cheaper than anything I had seen even in the garment district.
