Robert Allen and Doug
Gordon talk about Doug's book The Engaged Groom. Robert asks
Doug what inspired him to write the book. When Doug got engaged
in August 2003 he wanted his blog to have a focus. He was busy
wedding planning so he wrote about it... engaged from the groom's
point of view.
Robert asks Doug how he
thinks chronicling the wedding experience helped the wedding planning
process. Doug wrote about every last detail and learned more about
weddings than the average guy. How did his wife Leora feel about
this?
Robert and Doug discuss
how to be an engaged groom. Great ideas to get involved. Be the
producer, delivery guy, food tester...you like to eat, right?
Make and keep track of the budget. Build a personalized wedding
website. What is the number one thing you can do to help to guarantee your efforts will be appreciated? Listen to find out.
Engagements last at
least 6 months. You need to stop looking at lists and swatches.
It's time for a good dose of sanity. All couples need to hear
about Doug and Leora's wedding-free zone. This is one of many
useful Engaged Groom tips you will find within this show.
Do you micromanage your
wedding? Did you actually listen to the lyrics when making your
music selections? Did you realize your favorite love song is about
heartbreak? Just because a song has a good beat doesn't
mean it's appropriate at a wedding.
Great advice: a Do Not
Play List.
The bachelor party
discussion. Open communication is key. Be sensitive to your
fiance's wishes and be honest. Are you comfortable with the
plans? Be advised when you should not have your bachelor party.
Doug helps give voice
to questions and concerns that many grooms share.
