Groomasaurus is the blog of a guy named Jeff, who is planning to wed "Groomasaurus Gal." You can check out his blog here, where he discusses things that guys care about regarding weddings--like music, apparently--and sounds off about wedding traditions, suggesting that instead of fathers, brides should be given away by grooms' favorite professional athletes, and that the color of weddings should reflect the colors of couples' college alma maters.
The blog is both funny and interesting. My favorite excerpt so far?
I’ve always dreamed of going balls to the wall and hiring not just a local band or a cover band for my wedding, but a quasi-popular touring band. You know, like in the movies when Rodney Dangerfield hired Oingo Boingo to play his college dorm party in Back to School. Or The Mighty Mighty Bosstones playing the school dance in Clueless.
What is kind of ironic is that I actually looked into how much it would cost to book Hell's Belles, an all-female AC/DC cover band, the only AC/DC tribute group that has ever been endorsed by Angus Young. It is out of our price range, so don't get your hopes up.
In any event, it is fun to read the perspective of a man going through this crazy process. Now, if only we can get Steve to write to us...

LET THERE BE ROCK!!!
ReplyDeleteHey there Kara -
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out and the blog love. It's very nice of you. And too bad Hell's Belles were too spendy (maybe you should get a bunch of friends and do some pre- or post-wedding thing at one of their shows ... better yet, plan a bachlorette party around one of their shows ... that would be a hoot). BTW, last time I was in NYC, I saw Lez Zeppelin (all girl Zep cover band, of course) and I must say there's something very appealing about all female bands.
Anyway, if you liked my blog, you should check out my other site, which is online wedding planning software. It's at http://www.MyWeddingWorkbook.com, and it's free for brides to use and manage all their wedding details. You can go there and sign up for free, and I'd love to hear what you think about it (and if you like it, we always appreciate bloggers chatting us up).
Take care, and thanks again for the post,
Jeff
