Even better, you don't need a Trump-sized wedding budget to let New York hear all about it.

Are You an Offbeat Bride? Then Check This Out!

Wedding Stress 2.0: Another Point of View
Maybe you’ve read Melissa’s post on this site regarding wedding stresses. She makes some wonderful points and has some wonderful tips (as always).

The Shy Guy Syndrome
Having been to as many weddings as I have, there is nothing that pains me more than spotting Mr. Shy Guy Groom. What is most unfortunate is the outward perception a groom's shyness can give to the guests. I know I have been guilty of thinking, "Jeez, poor fella, here's supposed to be the happiest day of his life and he looks like he's shopping for bras the day after Thanksgiving."

It's just that in talking with brides, I always get a lot of comments and questions concerning how to get their man to break out of his silent shell - especially during the wedding reception.

For some, this provides an alternative to the drunken debauchery of traditional stag nights. For others, there is just as much debauchery (if not more) when the sexes join forces for a night on the town. Here is a quick rundown of the Who/What/When/Where/Why of joint Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties:
