THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1996 Bridal-1996 A guideline for the groom Following is a schedule for the groom to follow: THREE MONTHS BEFORE WEDDING Make out your guest list and show to bride. Discuss with your fiancee how many ushers you'll need (about one every 50 guests), and begin to choose. TWO MONTHS BEFORE WEDDING Complete your wedding attire after consulting your bride. Ask your best man and ushers to participate and brief them on the proper attire. Discuss honeymoon plans with your bride and start making the necessary reservations. If you're leaving the country, check on passports, visas and inoculations. ONE MONTH BEFORE WEDDING Pick up your bride's wedding ring. Check to see that the engraving is correct. Purchase gifts for your attendants. Order gloves and neckwear for attendants, and make sure they've ordered their own wedding attire. Select a wedding gift for your bride. Arrange a lodging for relatives and ushers from out of town. Make sure all necessary documents - legal, medical and religious are in order. Complete honeymoon plans and purchase all tickets. TWO WEEKS BEFORE WEDDING Make a date with your bride to get the marriage licence. (You might make it a festive occasion with lunch at her favourite restaurant). Check arrangements for the bachelor dinner (if any). Arrange with your best man for transportation from the reception. Pearls enhance features Continued from page 17 well. High or closed neck gowns call for longer strands of pearls to 7.reate a slim and smooth silhouette. As far as earrings are concerned, remember that drop earrings tend to make the face appear longer while stud and button earrings have a shortening effect. When it comes to selecting pearl colour, women with lighter hair and fair complexions tend to look best in cultured pearls with a slight rose tint, while creamy off-white hued pearls complement darker hair and skin tones. However, it is best to match pearl colour to individual skin tone by actually placing the pearls against the skin and seeing the effect. Just as cultured pearls are perfect for the bride, they should also be considered for the bridal party to give a matching appearance. Inexpensive pearl earrings or bracelets are perfect gifts for bridesmaids, and pearl cuff links or shirt studs are perfect gifts for ushers. ONE WEEK BEFORE WEDDING Present gifts to your attendants (at the bachelor or rehearsal party, perhaps). Remind your best man and ushers about rehearsal dinner details. Brief the head usher on any special seating arrangements. Put the minister's fee in a sealed envelope and give it to the best man (He will give it to the minister. Get your going-away clothes in order so you can change at the reception. Pack for your honeymoon.
