Maybe that'll be a venture for me to look into down the road. I'm in the process of reading "One Perfect Day" by Rebecca Mead but haven't finished it yet. I find it absolutely riveting. I'm on the chapter about the development of wedding consultants/planners. From what I read, the wedding planning industry only started to develop in the 1980s - it is far from an ancient practice.

Thanks for your comment & thoughts. The question you raise is a good one. From what I remember from my time spent on Kvetch, there were a few men posting on the boards -- but very few, just one or two that I can recall. Perhaps it's time for IndieGrooms?? :) Wedding planning is a funny thing. I know of couples where the gent was much more involved in the planning, and I'm sure he could've used a community to support him! There is a burgeoning space for guys in the process -- most wedding books you buy will have "for the men" section. But I'm sure the issue is whether or not men will be the potential consumers out there looking to drop some cash to aid with wedding stress. On another note, "One Perfect Day" is a GREAT read -- did you read the whole thing? In my opinion, it's a *must read* for anyone getting married these days. Take care, m. Hi Bruce!
