In each and every wedding I have seen, particularly in the movies, the groom appears to be the one with all the time in the world. He doesn’t have to be anxious pertaining to his hair to be done for hours like his bride’s hair should. The groom does not have to think of any unique techniques to get into his coat or his tuxedo to make sure he wears it perfectly unlike the bride who might need at the very least 2 or 3 persons to support her slip in to her wedding gown, making sure that all the details of the dress are in place and practically nothing is torn or detached.
But then again, given that the groom doesn’t have to be as detailed as the bride, there happen to be a number of things which the groom may do to be able to avoid virtually any mishaps during this specific day. No one would like anything awful to happen during their wedding day so this listing of must-haves is especially directed to the grooms out there. You are also responsible in maintaining order on that specific day. To do so you need to:
1. Make sure that your suit, tuxedo, coat or whatever you’re wearing for the wedding is clean, mended and ready to wear on the wedding day itself. If you’re supposed to dress up at the wedding venue, the least thing you can do is to bring your clothes there at least one day before so you won’t have a chance to forget it. While you’re at it, make sure that you bring your wallet, money, credit cards and your driver’s license as well. If you’re going on your honeymoon straight after the wedding dinner, then you might want to pack your things completely at least a couple of days before to make sure everything’s there.
2. If you are required to get dressed at home or at the hotel, make sure to lay everything where you could see them. Do not assume that you already know where to search for almost everything as you get dressed tomorrow because it is when you start to get rattled and restless and chances are you’ll forget to something.
3. Pack additional toiletries such as comb, hair gel, hair spray, toothbrush, deodorant, dental floss, cologne and a good breath spray. You never know when one of your groomsmen might need something at the venue. At least you have some things that you could lend them.
4. If you are under a medication, don’t forget to pack your medicine set the night before. Put it in the bag where your other toiletries are and put it in your car right away so you won’t have any chances of leaving it behind. You don’t want any serious health conditions to take away the limelight from you and your bride during your wedding day.
5. Please do not forget to bring a nice breath spray or breath mints to freshen your breath. I know it is something personal but you might just take your bride’s breath away when you kiss her and you still have the smell of the pizza you ate the day before. You certainly will really knock her off her feet literally while you kiss her with your breath smelling like that.
