“Overall, I’d say that the groom’s involvement is a very good thing,” says Jan Brenner, editor-in-chief of the Bay Area-based Here Comes the Guide print and online wedding resource. “There are women who don’t want their spouse involved because they don’t want to relinquish control. Others would love to have that partnership extend into the wedding planning. I know I would.”

Some couples are “deep green,” already thinking about eco-friendly choices when they begin to plan.

It’s a ripple effect.”
