the web's best roadmap for a groom's trip down the aisle
The Charitable Wedding Registry
While there's nothing more painful than shopping to put gifts on your wedding registry (even if they're free gifts), GroomGroove.com features a cool new concept: the charitable wedding registry. Pick a couple of charities with your bride-to-be, put them on a wedding registry and have your wedding guests donate (in addition to buying you a wedding gift!). Grooms and brides are raising upwards of $1,500 for a wide range of nonprofits. Build some great marital karma and learn more about the woman you're marrying in the process.

Groom Wedding Speech TipsGrooms give a speech at the wedding. (Gulp.) Now, there's no sense getting scared about the prospects. In this video, we figure out how the groom can conquer a serious case of the nerves.Jenna Bush WeddingMay 9th, 2008So W's daughter is getting married this coming weekend, to some groom. Whatever you think about the groom's father in law, it's gotta be REALLY TOUGH to be the son-in-law of a sitting president. We're pretty sure that it'd be pretty good for your career, in that pops or gramps could probably hook you up for a job. That said, the pressure to do something cool with your life must be pretty high. "I want to go to law school" or "I'm just finishing up my Master's Degree" probably gets W.'s sign of approval. As for Jenna Bush's groom, Henry Hager, he used to work in the White House as an aide to Karl Rove, apparently. My question is how the heck to you get on President Bush's agenda to ask your girlfriends father for permission to marry? Doesn't he have a magic button to make you disappear? Anyway - good luck to Jenna Bush and Henry Hager for a long and successful marriage.
