An Open Letter to the Groom

Your bride does not have cooties! Put your hand on her waist!

To the Groom,

Your wedding day is an important day – and for your new bride she has been dreaming of this day since she was dressing up as a princess and wearing her mom’s jewelry. Don’t ruin that day!

If you look at the photograph above that I took you will see a happy bride and groom. What is wrong with this picture? The bride has her arms around the groom – she is not letting him go. The groom, however, has his hand down by his side. I want your hands around her waist constantly. I will try to remind you – but to be honest – on this day you should be almost groping your wife. Be tasteful – grandma is here with us. But your wedding day of all days is going to be romantic and your chance to be Prince Charming to your bride. This is her day to be a princess.

So get it right. Show your emotions. Kiss her, hug her, whisper sweet nothings in her ear. These are the things that look natural, they show you are in love.

Thank you for listening to my rant,
