Wedding season is again upon us, and you brides-to-be are busy as bees, finalizing arrangements for your dress, flowers, catering, clergyperson, shower-curtain-pattern selection, eyebrow- tweezing appointment and the 17 million other details that make planning a modern wedding far more complex than building a space station. Meanwhile, you grooms, for your part, have been entrusted with the responsibility of locating a pair of dark socks.
As some who was a groom at one point (just ask my wife), I had far more responsibilities than that. Yes sir. Not only did I have to dress myself that morning, but I had to get myself (and the best man) to the wedding. Luckily our wedding turned out to be in the second place I looked, and my wife was too busy worrying about bride details to notice that I was a few minutes late.
Boy, with that kind of responsibility, I sure hope I don't have to go through that again.
