Discuss with fiancée the date and type of wedding you want. Make sure it doesn't conflict
with your sales meetings, important playoff games, etc.
Choose best man and who will be in your wedding party. This is your starting lineup.
Start on your guest list. Think about who will give you large amounts of money.
Discuss and finalize a budget. Very important, fellas. Ever go into a strip joint with
unlimited funds? It's the same idea with women and weddings, so get control quickly.
Limit asking yourself if she's the one to 16 times a day-that's once every waking hour.
3 -5 Months...Second Half Of The Game Has Started
Shop with fiancée for wedding rings-the band that goes with her diamond ring and your
ring. In other words, keep forking out the cashola.
Complete guest list and include names, addresses and phone numbers. A major pain in
the ass, to say the least.
Select tuxedo with fiancée. It needs to be color-coordinated with the bridesmaids' Try to
go on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, because tux shops are less busy on these
days.
Get tux measurements of all attendants in your party.
Discuss the honeymoon, and begin working with a travel agent. This is an area you can
pretend to be interested in.
Choose music, figure out band or DJ. Again, an area you have some interest in.
Discuss moving in together or buying a new home. Hats off to you if you can afford one
after the wedding.
Budget check time. You are the Chief Financial Officer in this case. Ask your fiancée for a
recap. Warning: don't wait until you're 60 days away from the wedding or count on her
being over budget.
Notify your business associates of the dates of your wedding and honeymoon.
Stops thinking about one last fling-well, you can think about it, just don't do it!
2 Months...Better Start Making Some First Downs
Meet with officiant to finalize ceremony details. Be prepared to answer how you fell in
love, what you both do to resolve conflict and your religious backgrounds. Your goal here
is to be politically correct. Just score brownie points with your wife-to-be. This will get you
out of the doghouse because by now you've screwed something up in the whole wedding
planning process!
Discuss with your best man his responsibilities. He's the team captain, so make sure he
takes his role seriously. You will need the help.
Plan your rite of passage - yup, it's your bachelor party, with booze, cards, porno videos
and strippers. Don't go out to a NICE dinner with the guys because she says so.
Arrange accommodations for out-of-town guests. Get this off your plate and give the
responsibility to your fiancée.
Stay out of any family disagreements. It's a no-win battle. Might as well start practicing
this now.
Figure out seating chart with your fiancée. Your fiancée doesn't know Auntie B hates
Uncle Bob unless you tell her.
Start jogging a couple of times a week. It's a good stress reliever, and if you can't take
the pressure anymore, just keep running, running, running...
1 Month...The Blitz Is On!
