The Art Of Manliness is a fun blog "dedicated to uncovering the lost art of being a man," and we've written about them before.
They just posted a new piece by guest writer Mike Arnot (founder of GroomGroove.com) encouraging grooms to be more of an active participant in wedding planning...because it's the manly thing to do!
We agree!
Arnot writes, "It’s pretty easy for men to blame our lack of interest in weddings on the fact that weddings are typically frilly, overly pink, and bride-focused. After all, it’s the bride’s “Big Day.” It’s even called the “bridal” industry. My own wedding photographer referred to my groomsmen and I as “props” to showcase the bride. (We were well-dressed props!) However, bride-centrism is really no excuse. After all, if you’re diving in head-first with someone that you’re planning on spending the rest of your life with, and that person is really interested in throwing a great wedding to celebrate your…you know...commitment, get interested. (My dad recently told me that he couldn’t stand watching Family Ties with my mom, but did it precisely because she loved it. All those years, and he manned-up, just for her.)"

We love these guys!
