The Contest

Sixteen semi-finalists for Groom of the Year Contest will be judged through weekly online voting initiatives in a "Matrimony Madness" bracket-style competition. Each contestant will be pitted against another, and every week new details about the grooms will be revealed, "helping voters to determine who is the most passionate and committed to his bride-to-be - from initial courtship and engagement to the wedding planning process," Brides.com explains.

The Grand Prize

In addition to the glory of the title, the 2010 Groom of the Year will also receive a $1,000 Macy's gift card, an Unlimited Luxury honeymoon from Secrets Resorts and Spas, a 40'' flat screen HDTV, a Blu-Ray DVD player and 6 iPod Nanos for groomsmen gifts. Totally. Freakin'. Sweet.
