The Month Before Your Wedding
Two-Minute Drill by Joe Karsonovich
She's been planning this wedding for over a year. She has a spreadsheet, a Pinterest board, and a group chat with her bridesmaids that has 4,000 unread messages in it.
You've got 30 days left and you're not totally sure what you're supposed to be doing right now.
Here's how to fix yourself. (This is where a best man can prove his worth)
Confirm your guys know the plan
Not just a group chat message -- an actual conversation over FaceTime or something. Where to be, when to be there, what to wear, who's driving. Do it once, do it right, and you won't be answering texts at 7am on your wedding morning.
Know your vendor lineup cold
Photographer's name. DJ's name. Coordinator's name. What time they show up and what they need from you. You don't have to manage them, you just have to know who they are so you're not standing there confused when someone walks up and says "hey I'm with the catering team."
Write the vows
Block two hours sometime this week. No phone, no distractions, just write. Then read them out loud at least three times before the day. If you're tearing up in your living room you're probably on the right track.
Plan one thing for her
A handwritten note, a small gift, something delivered to her getting-ready room the morning of the wedding. It doesn't have to be expensive. It just has to be intentional. This is the thing she'll be telling people about for years.
Lock in your morning
What time you're getting up, where you're getting ready, who's in the room with you, what you're eating. Figure this out now so the morning of feels like a pregame instead of a fire drill.
Thirty days out is when most grooms go on autopilot. It's also when the best ones start pulling ahead.

How I imagine most grooms feel a month out...
Thirty days out. No plan. Full send.
