We’ve got some new writers sharing their stories on Staggered and we thought you might like to meet them. After all, just like you they represent the grooms, brides, best men and fathers of the brides who are soon to be getting married.
We’ll be following their journeys as they take us through the joys and pitfalls of planning a wedding and preparing for the biggest day of their lives.

The very early stages. From finding someone special, picking a ring, proposing, or getting to grips with being a best man.
Help with all the preparations. Writing speeches, stag-dos, suits, venues, gift lists, getting in shape.
The 11th hour. Quick solutions if you’ve forgotten something, you’re getting cold feet or worrying about anything.

True to his word that he’d reveal the @newlywedsontjob prank today, we finally received an email from AnonBestman this morning after a few days of assuming that he’d been beaten to death and left in a ditch.

Joel starts to realise that getting engaged means that there’s an entire wedding to plan, but fortunately he has beer and cigarettes to help him cope. Mmmmm beer.
Steve Jones is back and he’s got more advice for any single blokes out there who want to learn from the master (and to be fair he is pretty darn good) about communicating successfully with women.
Travel costs, beer money, restaurant bills and hotel charges – stag-dos can be a painfully expensive business, especially when the economy’s biting most of us on the arse. Here’s some very welcome news for stag-do planners who’re arranging a stag weekend in good old Blighty.

Congratulations on taking the plunge and making the decision to propose. By rights, this should be a brilliant time but more often than not it’s marred by worries over how and where to get engaged.
