Wrong: dragging the unwilling groom-to-be to a frilly brunch place where he and all other unwilling males vainly search for a tv or radio which might be picking up “the game” (since there is always some sports event being played somewhere).

Right: an excuse for a party where the happy couple gets to hang out with their friends and celebrate the future, without a gift or tea sandwich in sight.

When done right, the couple shower can be a ton of fun and honor the fact that these two crazies for whom the party is being thrown are gonna attempt to continue to like each other and share the same bathroom for the rest of their lives – no small feat.

This is not something men do. This is not something they want to do. The Groom has to pretend to care about the gifts, the process of opening the gifts, the oohs and ahs, and all the rest. Ands it's even worse for the guys who just get to sit and watch. I think it only really came about because so many women hated having showers, so rather than simply not going or saying no, they decided to drag us into it. </p><br /><br /><p>The next step is couples with cats showers. Besides men, cats are most likely the only sentient being less interested in attending showers.</p> Couples showers are wrong. This is not something men do. This is not something they want to do.

The next step is couples with cats showers. Besides men, cats are most likely the only sentient being less interested in attending showers.

On our THIRD date, my now fiance (yay!) and I ran into his parents, and they had already “heard all about me.” Normally that would worry me… that he was a crazy stalker or something. But because he’s THE ONE (yay!) it only made me feel flattered.

Cheers to more moments like that!
