Brides used to plan their entire wedding, and the groom just had to show up . . . preferably sober, and in a tux.  But not surprisingly, 60% of couples now say the groom has become a lot more involved.  Here are five ways guys are helping: 

#1.)  Half of all couples say that the groom picked the venue.   

#2.)  The bride's family used to be responsible for paying for everything . . . and 52% of couples say that her parents are paying at least some of the costs.  But 44% say that HIS parents are also contributing money.

#3.)  One in three grooms helped pick the cake. 

#4.)  One in three grooms are responsible for haggling to get better prices.

#5.)  And one in 20 grooms say they chose the flowers for the ceremony.
