The Groom's Traditional Duties Some of these may no longer be soiely the groom's responsibility; for instance, the modem bride will probably want to have a say in the honeymoon plans and participate more actively in the toasts/speeches. s Choose your wedding party (best man and ushers). e Organize your tamily's part of the guest list. e Organize and pay for the marriage license. e Buy thank-you gifts for the best man and ushers. " Organize the honeymoon. " Make sure the best man has the checks, in envelopes, ta be given to the officiator, the musicians and anyone else rendering a service f0 be paid for immediately ater the ceremony. e Get to the wedding ceremony on time. - The groom is usually the second persan to propose a toast. Ater the master of ceremonies has toasted the bride and groom, the groom rises, thanks the MC, and then proposes a toast f0 his bride. He also responds ta toasts to the bridai couple. e Cut thi cake with your bride. (The groom usuaîly halds the cake, knife, with his brides hand poised on top of is.) e Join your bride tor the irst dance, then dance with vanious relations: f irst your mother-in-law, then your mother. (Ater that, as you dance with the maid of honour, the best man shauld dance with the bride, and the ushers should join in with the bridesmaids.> Spring Bridai, Show Set To Go Patrick Event Planning proudly presents the *Milton Spring BridaI Show '98" which is being organized by Jackie Patrick and Lorrie Ferrante.
