Crossing the Aisle: Groom-Friendly Designs on the Bridal Blogs

Beginning this week, we're going to be joining our friends at The Man Registry in sharing our favorite links on the world wide web. But unlike Chris at TMR, I'm not giving you the manliest of web material. I'm plugging groom-friendly wedding elements and designs that I've found while snooping around on those wedding blogs that are primarily enjoyed by the women folk.

So, men, don't be afraid to "cross the aisle" and see what the ladies are offering this week. You won't be disappointed -- and it may give you some inspiration for your own wedding.
