The Helpful Groom

According to the ever arbitrary "to-do" checklist on TheKnot.com, when the wedding is 5 months away, the happy couple should begin working on planning the rehearsal dinner. Although I would guess that The Knot would really want the groom's parents to start planning the dinner, and the bride and groom nag them mercilessly until they have been assured that the planning is complete.

Planning the rehearsal dinner has actually fallen on our shoulders so far, at least in that the groom's parents are not from Houston, and know little about the area where the wedding will take place. We've given ourselves the task of pulling together a few different options (with different price ranges) so that his parents can choose which one they like.

Luckily, work has been slow this week for the groom, so he's been able to research several different options. We have three options at three different price points: a steak place, an Italian restaurant, and a barbecue place.

I love it when I get to check something off, but have done minimal work to accomplish the list item.
