GROOMS More than you bargain for... 1425 views
Sarah at WalletPop points out that a Gary Linekar style wedding in Italy can be a great saving, but if you have family and loads of friends you might find yourself footing the bill for two celebrations rather than one.
As weddings get increasingly expensive, one great way to cut the cost is with an overseas wedding. Prices may be lower, the guest-list smaller, and the honeymoon comes as part of the deal. However, if you are considering this approach, there's one key pitfall to avoid.Click to read more...

GROOMS How to say 'I do' 1542 views
We've been reading through our office copy of The Groom's Instruction Manual and thought your man might like these 'on the day' tips.
The day has arrived and you're about to say 'I do'. You've been through the rehearsal. You know when to walk, where to stand, what to say. And you're probably aware (though we'll say it again) that all eyes will be on you. So remember:
• Smile.
• Stand up straight.
• Hold you head up high.
• Keep your hands out of your pockets.
• Avoid shuffling and fidgeting.
• Make eye contact when being addressed.
• Use people's names when speaking to them.
• Don't swear. Especially if you're in a place of worship.
• Speak up. Made sure your voice carries when you say "I do."

Perfect planning is key to a good wedding, but when it comes to making the speech, you need a few tips and tricks to master those nerves.
His speech is the moment of dread for most grooms-to-be, but with these top tips, you should have nothing to fear! Follow this simple advice, and you'll be one step closer to a calm, cool and collected wedding day speech.
- Preparation They all say that practice makes perfect, and this is certainly the case with a speech. Do a bit of homework with the help of the wide range of sites and books dedicated to wedding speech-writing. On the day, bring along some clear and simple cue cards so you don't have to angst over forgetting your lines!
- Short and sweet is the way to go with the groom's speech. Remember, this isn't an Oscar's acceptance speech, just a few heartfelt lines will go further than you think. According to the experts,
your speech should last around 3-4 minutes. On the day, the time will pass quickly and you won't need that much to say! - A tipple too many may ruin the speech! It's best to avoid alcohol before your big speech, as you may appear confused and incoherent, even if you think it sounds ok. Alternatively, make the speeches before the reception meal so you can relax and enjoy yourself during the wedding breakfast. On the day, limit yourself to one glass of Dutch courage before your speech, just to be on the safe side!
- Relax and remember that you are making this speech in front of all your closest friends and family. They are not there to criticise you, but to support you. No one will expect a professional and polished speech so on the day, just be natural, focussed and relaxed.
- Lastly, if you're really not up to it, then hand over the speech job to the bride. There is a whole new wave of bride's speeches, so opt for a more modern approach with a twist! But remember, give your wife-to-be plenty of warning beforehand to prepare.
