Every bride-to-be wants her man to get down on one knee, but what if she doesn't like the ring? Grooms need a back up plan to make sure her answer is 'yes, yes, yes'.
Getting the wrong engagement ring is top of the list of no-no's. It is a groom's big dread. Not suprisingly, more and more men are buying 'token' engagement rings. The upcoming trend is for couples to choose the 'real' ring together, after he has proposed. Token rings can be anything. It could be a piece of costume jewellery or a jelly baby ring. If you want something a bit more serious, check out Wharton Goldsmith's new “Proposal Ring”™ service.
The groom-to-be pays £95 for a classic Wharton's designed ring with 'marry me' inscribed on the inside. After she has said yes, the couple can then return to the jewellers' to choose the engagement ring together over a complimentary glass of champagne. And if you want to keep the Proposal Ring, Wharton give back twice the cost towards the engagement ring.

Book Review: Make Mine a Manual 1893 views
If your man is feeling overwhelmed or left out of the wedding planning, treat him to a copy of new book, The Groom's Instruction Manual.
Wedding planning put into the context of a car manual might just tick the boxes for your groom-to-be. The Groom's Instruction Manual (£9.99, Chronicle Books ISBN 978 15947 4190 6) is an easy to read hand book, broken down into five simple chapters from getting engaged to just married.
It covers all the wedding details blokes are increasingly getting involved with and has some handy hints such as drafting the guest list and seating chart. You'll also find a field guide to suits, good grooming and post-wedding housekeeping notes.
It is a must-read for every modern groom wanting to get a hook on the big day plans.

GROOMS White Wedding 1977 views
For uber-chic grooms looking for a stylish watch to complete their summer wedding outfit, we love this season's must-have from the makers of the Mondaine Official Railways Clock.
Sir Terence Conran rates it and the Mondaine Clock is a bit of an icon, so what better wristwear for the big day? The latest addition to the Official Swiss Railways Watch collection is the big and bold Mondaine Giant Size - in white. The simple yet iconic design has a large steel case, gold-plated bezel and white leather strap. The famous red second hand in the easy-to-read dial will have him counting the seconds to her arrival up the aisle - and priced at £135, it is a snip compared to her dress. Other nice stuff: it has a wedding white dial and is water resistant to 30 metres, so you can leave it on by the pool on honeymoon. For details of where to buy, call 0116 234 4456 or visit mondaine.com.

GROOMS Perfect Groom 2014 views
Getting a cut and shave is one step towards grooming perfection. But we have found a little bottle of hair tonic that will make you the best-groomed groom around.
New Hair & Scalp Tonic (£29.95) from Environ Men’s range is the first step to healthy vibrant hair. It's non-oily and packed with gorgeous goodies such as tea tree oil and rosemary extract, Vitamin E to moisturise and vitamin A to nourish your scalp.
Leading London hairdresser Paul Edmonds says, “The scalp needs to be nurtured as it acts as a mediator for healthy hair, protecting and providing the root of the hair fibre with nutrients it needs to grow healthily.”The leave-on product should be used twice daily, in the mornings and evenings. Start using well in advance of the big day as results only kick in after six to twelve weeks.
For the nearest Environ stockist call 020 8450 2020.
