 It’s bound to happen: the shy guy is going to get married. Which, doesn’t sound all that bad, right? Not at all. Unless, of course, the shy guy is you. Then we’ve got a problem. And what if you’re not shy, what if you just hate crowds of people?

 I knew a man who told me that once he found his bride to be, he was going to treat her so ridiculously well that other women would simply wish they could be her forever. I found that slightly cocky and arrogant, but I also may or may not have fallen in love with him based upon that statement alone. He has since found his wife, and yes, he treats her like a queen. And yes, all the single ladies wish they could be her. But, this article is for you, Mr. Groom-to-be, and how you are going to turn the week before the wedding into the best week of your bride’s life so far, making every other single woman wish they could be her. And then you can just try and top it for the rest of your life. No pressure.

Party before the actual party! After you've gotten the wedding rehearsal out of the way, it's time to kick back with your family, bridal party and maybe some out-of-town guests and have some fun.
The rehearsal dinner is typically held the night before the wedding -- sometimes two days before, if that's what the schedule dictates -- and it varies in formality and guest list. Sometimes it's just as formal as the wedding, while many couples choose to go the casual route in order to cut costs. Etiquette dictates that the immediate  family of both the bride and groom as well as everyone in the wedding party is invited to the event, but some couples choose to invite those who have made a long trek to their wedding as well.
If you're undetermined as to where you'd like to host the rehearsal dinner, check out these options:
- Put on those ugly shoes and have a good time. Most bowling alleys have party rooms that you can rent, sometimes allowing you to bring in your own food. Order a bunch of pizzas, pitchers of beer and let loose. Make a bet with the bride -- whoever gets the most strikes gets to smoosh cake in the other one's face the next day.
- Backyard barbecue: If you, your family or a close friend have a nice backyard with a grill, head outside (as long as the weather's nice!) This is another casual option, as all you need are some hamburger, hot dogs or chicken and potato salad to have a delicious meal. Mix up some pitchers of cocktails for the ladies and pop open gourmet beer for the guys.
- Cocktail party: If you'd rather keep things classy, host a cocktail party. There's nothing that says that it has to be a full dinner as long as you offer up enough food to keep guests from getting too drunk. Set out a few different types of appetizers and a couple bottles of your favorite wine, and spend the night mingling.
- Clambake or shrimp boil: Depending on where you're from depends on which seafood delicacy you serve! In Maryland, a good, old-fashion blue crab feast might be on the menu, while those down in New Orleans might do a shrimp boil instead. Naturally, New Englanders will want to host a clambake. Your fingers might get messy while peeling the seafood, but it's a lot of fun and delicious to boot.
- Head to a buffet: If you don't have anyone who wants to prepare food for you, and a fancy restaurant is out of the question, then set up a rehearsal dinner at an inexpensive buffet restaurant. After all, who doesn't love Chinese food? Indian restaurants often offer buffets as well. For one decent price, you can feed everyone as much as they desire, while still providing a nice setting so people can make toasts and get to know one another. |

 Bridezilla transformations can happen to any girl. She promises to be a laid-back bride who goes with the flow, doesn't make demands and is just happy to be getting married.

The idea that guys don't want to be involved in wedding planning is one of two things: Totally true or a complete cliche.
