I love the fact that things have changed.  Back in the day when I was planning my wedding I really had to do it all and ya know it wasn't just my day.  Good news is, today’s groom is different from yesterday’s. Modern grooms are now as hands-on with weddings as brides-to-be - even helping choose the flowers, according to a survey.

Over half the men polled had the final say in the date of their big day while 56 percent chose the venue. One in 20 even had a say in the floral arrangements while a third helped choose the cake.

Other jobs grooms took charge of organizing included hiring the band, suits for the best men, ushers and dads and choosing the wedding car.
