GroomBob
At the risk of sounding like a car commercial, the road to marriage isn't always smooth. While brides have a blizzard of online support groups, bridal boot camps (don't ask) and an army of bridesmaids to alternately boss around and complain to, we lone grooms are often left out in the cold.
Until now! Because it is not good for man to be alone, Groomstand introduces GroomBob, a former bachelor just like yourself, about to stumble into the weird and adventurous world of wedding planning!

An old college buddy of mine, Jaime, had come up for the big day and was currently crashing on our couch. This was delicate in itself, given my fiancé Jane, who thought the... more
By Bob It happened somewhere between government document seven thousand, and form five thousand sixty-one that I suddenly threw my hands up in the air and demanded of my fiancée, "This sucks! It's tediously, unbelievably boring! What the heck! Why are you changing your name anyway?" Jane, the calm one,... more
By Bob A week before the wedding, I go for my tux fitting. After careful thought, I've decided to buy, not rent. Whether to rent or buy you wedding tux is a personal decision every groom must make. My verdict was reached when the salesman told me if I wore... more
