Let's face it, the wedding day is about the bride. Somewhere along the line, the groom was shoved to the wayside by pouffy gowns, towering cakes and mounds of gifts. It seems that some couples forget that marriage is the union of TWO people who love each other and want their family and friends to witness their promises to one another.BUT.... planning a wedding can be fun and who says the groom has to miss out on the good times?? While the bride may have a white-knuckle grip on the registry gun in the China section of Macy's, the groom has his own registry option now too. The Man Registry. And when we came across this little gem of a site, we knew we had to let everyone know.The Man Registry, co-founded in 2007 by Chris Easter, James Horner & Robert Horner, is an online resource for grooms. Founded by three guys that most recently took the plunge themselves, you can bet they know what their doing. The website features a specialized wedding gift registry featuring hundreds of wedding gifts tailored toward grooms, including electronics, barbecue grills, bar supplies, tools, outdoors gear and items from favorite sports teams. In addition to the wedding registry, the website also offers a wealth of information, how-to articles and resources designed to help successfully guide the 1.2 million grooms who get married each year through every step of the engagement, wedding and honeymoon planning processes. This site has every MAN-Groom taken care of!Chris, James & Robert noticed that many of their close friends and family were getting married, but too often were registered for wedding gifts that were strictly geared toward the kitchen and bedroom. Where were the wedding gifts that the groom could get excited about? It was clear that creating a wedding registry tailored to grooms was necessary. Thus, TheManRegistry.com was conceived and built as the place where grooms and brides could register for wedding gifts they could put to use in the backyard, garage, or basement bar. This week, The Man Registry will be launching the first-of-its-kind groom's local wedding guide, connecting them with the area's best wedding vendors. For more information, groomsmen gifts, or to register at The Man Registry, visit the site and nurture that MAN-Groom of yours!
