For Brides Only

"Honey, have you seen my socks?"

Ladies, let's cut to the chase. How can you trust your future husband to help with the wedding planning when he can't even remember to hang up his own towel? You have already taken him to the caterers where he decided that anything without meat was too frou-frou. Do you remember how interested he was in place settings? He was yawning so wide you could have put a salad plate in his mouth.

That is not to say he doesn't care. Quite the opposite. He wants to spend the rest of his life with you. It's just that wedding preparation ranks slightly below elective surgery on his list of things he would like to do.

So throw him a bone. Tell him he can hire the wedding photographer. Then steer him to Bull Moose Photography. But be subtle. A post-it note on the forehead should do the trick.

My journalism and sports background will make him feel better. He can ask about college or professional football and I will tell him what I saw in practice last week. Then we'll have a good talk about how useless guys are at planning weddings. Then he will hire me and relax. And that would be the perfect time for you to ask him about a band versus a DJ.

But the best part is that you will have hired a true journalist. I will be able to cover your wedding just like I do when I work for USA Today. For me, journalism isn't a style but an occupation. A lot of people imitate what I do, but with poor results. Just like trying to imitate a policeman is a bad idea. Seriously. Trust me on this.

Bull Moose Photography has won numerous awards and our images have appeared in over 200 publications. With three books published, we know how to create unique photos. Unlike your fiancé's uncle. Not that his uncle isn't a great guy... (Believe it or not, some men are actually reading this section. We are not sure why, except that they are nosy.) Anyway, the point is that the Bull Moose photographers will remain sober, even through the ceremony.
