"So what's this blog about anyway?"
In short, it's about you, dipstick. More precisely, it's about providing you with information you'll need – information nobody really wants to share. At least until after she's decided for you.
This is 'Secret Guy Stuff.' The kind of stuff that your father would normally tell you - that is if your father's idea of a real, heart-to-heart was something more inclusive than "this time put some gas in it and remember to check the oil."
This is also about what you'll be doing, saying and feeling as the last few, precious weeks of Bachelorhood slip away, inexorably moving you closer to The Big Day and The Rest of Your Life. Ominous as that sounds, don't worry. As you've no doubt already been told by countless others – your father; married brothers; cousins; friends; and of course the guys at the strip club out by the airport – as a Groom, you don't really have to do, say, or even think about a whole hell of a lot (all things being relative).
Show up. Smile. Don't fumble the Big Line. Those are the main ones.
But, just like interior offensive line-play in the NFL, there is a deeper, much more subtle "game-inside-the-game" things you might also want to know about. Things that could help you, if only you knew about them. Things you should think about, and perhaps even do, before the Big Day. Things that, to your future wife, are very important.
And no. She won't come out and say they're important and that you need to do them… but they are. And you do. And whether you do them or not will be remembered. Oh boy, will it be remembered.
Because in that one last, brief, irresponsible, breathing space between the time you pop the question and the time your bride walks down the aisle looking more beautiful than your sinner's eyes have a right to imagine, trust me, amigo, it's never enough time. Which is something your bride is going to constantly remind you of - at least right up until you climb into the getaway car to leave for your honeymoon.
