What about us guys!!!!

Hey Ladies! I'm signed in under my FW's screenname. I think this site is cool and all but where's the the 'Grooms Helping Grooms' bulletin board?!?!?!?

Whoa! A guy...on LIW. Welcome

I think I heard there was a Grooms board and it flopped. Ask Jennbaby, she was here then (I think)

Hi and welcome!!!!

We used to have one but it did not generate much of a response.

If you need help, you are welcome here any time.

we used to have a Grooms tab on top...but no one used it so it was changed to something else!!

Re: What about us guys!!!!

I think this site is better off no guys. I think it would mix too much with us and our freedom to post pics, etc

Re: What about us guys!!!!

Don't tell me we're THAT bad as far as not being involved in the planning

I think guys should be welcome. Some of them need tux help and limo help and band help. What's a guy to do if we ask them to help book vendors? They need to tap this resource too.

There was a groom's bulletin board but it was hardly ever used. I know that my DH would not go near it even if you paid him! Instead I bought him a book, 'The Idiot's Guide to Being a Groom.' Very informative and very funny!

Re: What about us guys!!!!

I think it's great that there's a guy on here. It's cute and shows he's interested in what she does with so much of her time!!
It also shows the men what WE all go through to plan the perfect wedding!
Who else is better to give advice on CRAZY IN-LAWS, mean SIL's, player Best Men.... I could go on!

Re: What about us guys!!!!

although the grooms board flopped, we did have a few grooms on here with their own screen names for awhile. matthos was very involved in the planning!

Re: What about us guys!!!!

DH was on a bit a while back while we were planning. Even when he didn't post he'd come by for research every now and then. Two of his buddies from his office are engaged now and DH told them about LIW. They come by for research too but they're not the posting kind.

Welcome!

hi. welcome...

its great to get a guy's thought on here.

Re: What about us guys!!!!

i think he has a point - the site is called Long Isaland Weddings...not Long Island Brides.
And as far as I know...it still takes 2 poeple to get marrie....and usually, one of them is a man.......
maybe we should try a grooms' tab!
where is the suggestion box?
