Okay in my search for things for the Grooms I found this site called "The Plunge" www.theplunge.com built especially for you guessed it Grooms. What I found I thought was hilarious...not the type of wedding timeline I would put togther but......for kicks and giggles I reposted it just for the fun of it.

Traditional Timelines will include advice on when to interview the vendors, select your flowers, and pick a videographer. Screw that. Yes, that junk all has to happen, but if you spent your time stressing over all that, well, you'd be bridezilla.

Instead, we've streamlined the wedding planning checklist to focus only on the things that you actually need to care about.

5-10 years before the wedding

  • Have as much meaningless sex as possible.
  • Drink an unhealthy quantity of alcohol.
  • Spend more time with your buddies than family or girlfriends.
  • Care more about fantasy football than a relationship.
  • Have at least one pregnancy scare.

3-5 years before the wedding

  • Have a serious girlfriend.
  • Break up with her in a spectacularly irresponsible, immature fashion.
  • Start to feel like maybe, kinda, don't-tell-anyone, maybe you should settle down and find the right girl.

1-3 years before the wedding

9 months - 1 year before the wedding

6-9 months before your wedding

3-6 months before your wedding
