Just Some Thoughts For What You Should Place On Your Checklist...Mr. Massachusetts Gay Groom!
By no means is this list completely comprehensive. But for the Groom (which is actually kind of tricky since there are two of you), you might want to make sure these simple tasks are on the master list for your Massachusetts Gay Wedding, then you and your partner simply divide and conquer And if all else fails, go check out our Checklists Section of MassachusettsGayWeddings.com! Now to the basics:
Choosing your wedding participants such as Best Man and Groomsmen
Selecting wedding outfit for you and for your buddies in the wedding party. The other Groom will probably may want to help with this.
Encouraging groomsmen and best man to get measured up early for tuxedos if this is part of your plan. It is important to communicate with these men no matter where they may be. And if you are planning attire that is casual, make sure you find out everyone's shirt sizes, find a retailer that can get you the same shirts in all sizes (if this is your idea - like hawaiian print shirts, or nice silk white shirts). Nothing is worse than picking out a style and then finding that you can't get the sizes you need for everyone!
Arranging transportation to the ceremony; your parents and his parents or other family members; for your best man (or woman if you've chosen your best girl friend to help you) and groomsmen; and of course for yourself.
Arranging transportation for the whole wedding party, from the ceremony to the reception.
Arranging for your out-of-town guests' accommodations.
Purchasing your wedding gift for your husband to be, and gifts for your groomsmen and best man.
Obtaining the marriage license
Planning the rehearsal dinner as well as preparing a toast during this time.
Preparing your speech for the reception.
And, of course...writing your vows for the ceremony!
You May Be Gay...But Now Your A Gay Groom!
Ok, let's get all the stereotypes out of the way. Gay men are fashion conscious, groomed impeccably, have as many facial and hair products as most straight women. Done...we admitted it.
But, how many of you have been "THE GROOM." Probably not many of you since gay marriage isn't legal in most states. But again, let's get past the obvious. Back to being a groom. Your getting married, having a commitment ceremony or civil union, or a domestic partnership celebration. Even though we know your on top of it, now you've got a hundred other things on your mind, so here's our top 10 things to do to keep you on track and sane.
Your Hair! One month before the big day, visit your hair stylist and talk about your look for the big celebration. Take a test run in the look. If you like it, then schedule your hair cut touch up two days before the big day.
Toes and Hands! Get a manicure and pedicure 3 days prior to the event.
Wax Treatment! If you're removing that ghastly hair from the places you don't want it, get the wax treatment at least 3 days if not a week prior to the event to avoid the itch.
So you know a couple of great guys, they've got everything you they need. So just what do you get the gay men to celebrate their unity celebration? How about a "Tree?"
