The Engaged Groom: You're Getting Married. Read This Book

Sane, Sensible...and Entertaining

I bought this book for my future husband after seeing the author on TV. I had been looking for a good book to encourage my groom to help out and didn't like what was out there. Most of the books had words like 'clueless' or 'idiot' in the title or warned about 'not screwing up her big day' or 'not going insane.' Who wants to give their future husband a book that basically tells them they're stupid? I was so refreshed to find this book: straightforward, honest, practical, and funny. Lots of great advice, not condescending, and very helpful, even for a guy like mine who needed a little prodding. It's been as helpful for me as the bride as it has been for my groom. I've read a lot of wedding books and this one holds its own among the best of them.

The Most Helpful

I was a little skeptical when my fiancee got this for me but quickly became hooked since Gordon was describing so much of what I was going through and answered a lot of the questions I was afraid to ask. Some good common sense advice on registering, for example, which was something I wanted to take care of. The book gave some good advice on which guests get invited with a date, and this was a big topic of discussion in our families! Great advice on how to deal with pain in the neck guests, too, since we will have a few of those. Don't be a skeptic like me! As it says on the cover, if you are getting married you should read this book.

I read my fiance's copy and now give this as a gift to all of my friends' husbands-to-be. There are so many books and gifts for brides, but not a lot for grooms, and this one is perfect. I really loved the advice and when I give it to someone else they are always intrigued...I usually get a call a week later saying how much the guy liked it. Big recommendation!!!

Perfect for any guy...even me.

My bride gave this to me. I'm not usually inclined to help out, but I knew planning our wedding would be huge. (And it's not over yet!) This book is a gigantic help...calm, cool advice, practical, funny, very funny in fact, and just a great read. Highly recommended to any groom who has even a few questions...my bride read it after me and she loved it too!

The Best Book for Grooms...and Brides!!!

Okay, I saw an advance copy of this book and devoured it. I'm getting married in 6 months and heard about it and was able to get my hands on a preview copy. This is hands down the best book for grooms out there...for all types of guys from the guy who wants to do everything to the guy who sits back and does nothing. It's funny and well written, doesn't talk down to guys, and has a lot of advice beyond the typical wedding guide. I wanted to get this for my future husband, but as a bride, it even gave me a lot of perspective. I would recommend this as a good common sense book that's worth reading by anyone who is planning a wedding big or small. Once I did hand it over to my groom he loved it! He has a few buddies who are also getting married and this will be the first gift we buy them, even before we buy something from their registries!
