{Groom's Corner} An introduction

Today I am very excited for a couple of reasons. {1} Stephen (my fiance) and I are celebrating four years of being in a relationship! :) We went to breakfast at our favorite little coffee shop this morning, and later we'll be headed to our favorite little cafe in downtown Spokane for dinner.

{2} Stephen is officially writing a Groom's Corner column. Today is the day. I'm sure you can tell by the post title, but this is the post. :)

Gentlemen:

Welcome to the exciting world of being a man, in love and soon to be married!

Since this is my first post, I would like to start by telling you my story. I am 21 years old, I love Green Lantern (hence the signature below), and as of today I am 224 days away from marrying my high school sweetheart (Lindsie). We are madly in love, but I don't think you need to be told what that's like, do you? No, you are here for one thing: support.

(And I do intend to supply you with support. For starters...)

I make this assumption because, like all of you, I know that getting ready to be married can take its toll. There's a lot of planning to be done, things to pay for, and through it all it becomes increasingly difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Sometimes it seems as if you have no one on your side, since everyone is out to help the bride through this occasion.

(Let's face it: It's her day 90% and your day 10%. You still get a say in things, but it's all she's thought about for years. How long has your wedding been on YOUR mind?)

But that doesn't mean that every so often it isn't nice to sit down and talk to a guy about what it's like to be a guy in love. Your single friends don't get it. Even your friends with casual girlfriends don't get it. Well guys, guess what:

(Get used to these words, BTW. I hear they're very important...)

So starting next week, I'll be discussing with you all the ways we can support each other through this time, and even more importantly, how we can support our brides-to-be through this time.

As a final note, I will give you one task per week. Try it out, and respond with what happened. Did it work? Did it go wrong? Will you keep doing it? Lemme know!

Take care, and see you next week, my friends.

{TASK OF THE WEEK} Tell your fiancee that you love her at an unexpected time. Text her at work, tell her first thing in the morning, etc. Be creative!
