THE GROOM'S PARENTS

• Potentially making a speech (or two) at the Reception.
• Working alongside the other ‘parents’ to make sure that everything goes as it should do on the day.
• Being one of the last to leave on the night, making sure that everyone gets away all right and that all bills have been settled up (usually a ‘dad’ task – working in conjunction with the Bride’s father on this one).
• Looking after your son and lending a caring ear when needed.

All Weddings are fun, romantic and emotional affairs, but when you are the parents of the Groom it is something a little bit special. Being involved in the planning and execution of the day adds that little something extra, and assuming that the Bride and Groom are happy to receive assistance, then help should be provided in any way possible.

Whatever anyone says, this is as special and important a day for the Groom’s parents as it is for the Bride’s parents and don’t you forget it. That said, there may be some expense and work for you along the way!
