Are those pre-wedding nerves getting to your man? We’ve got cures for whatever’s stressing him out, from L.A. planner Jeff Brown.
He’s stumped on writing his own vows
Ask him to jot down a love letter to you instead; it will help him tap into his feelings without all the pressure of formality. If he’s still terrified, just go old-school and get him to recite by-the-book vows. No shame in it – 53% of couples do!
He’s afraid to do the first dance in front of everyone
Whether you take lessons or not, promise him you’ll have to dance only the first part of the song before inviting the rest of the guests to join you. And schedule the first dance at the start of the evening so he won’t have to dread it for half the reception.
His best man is too drunk to deliver his toast
Skip it, and have him discreetly ask another groomsman to escort Walter Wasted away from the party and off to a private room to sober him up.
He has stage fright over delivering his own speech
Suggest doing a couple’s speech instead. That way, he’ll need to just stand by your side as you charm the crowd, then hold your hand and swoop in with some heartfelt thanks.
