There Must Be Something For The Groom To Do How To Plan Your Wedding Together by Paula Begoun and Stephanie Bell 1996, Publishers Press, Salt Lake City, UT ISBN 1-877988-16-2 This book provides a perspective largely lacking in the arena of wedding planning—involving the groom in the planning process. It discusses ways in which the "industry", and culture exclude the groom, and addresses the reasons that the bride and groom should work together to plan their wedding. Suggestions are made about how to build interest and empathy, and use the planning process as a learning and growing experience in the relationship. There are checklists for each planning partner, suggestions for how to divide the labor more equally, and even how to negotiate with each other and work through conflict. There is also practical information on overall planning strategies and tools. The book addresses an issue which is probably daunting more and more couples who are trying to work together in a culture that sees a wedding as the exclusive domain of brides (and perhaps mothers-of-brides)!
