Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
I was an idiot, now I'm a pocket idiot? Same but smaller? Oh well, I'm still big in Japan. This is OK stuff: a primer that gives a lot of all-around goodness that dudes need to get through their wedding. Lacking nonsense (e.g., close-up photos of creamy rose arrangements; girl shoes that cost five bills), the contents encompass "the cast" (read: the best man and other honorary positions), prewedding events like booking a limo, and honeymoon planning. More general information like that featured in the robust "Communication Strategies" section will help dudes employ such practices as active listening, "I" messages, and the occasional back rub. The book also specks out the types of things couples usually register for, like dessert spoons, pillowcase sets, and a dozen or so blenders (sadly, a Cervelo P4 was not included, so I wrote one in on my copy). Chapter 12, "Going the Extra Mile," is particularly sly with advice to win over those supporting-cast chicks at the showers (e.g., help pack their VW Jettas full of crap and escort the old ladies to their huge cars).Alternate Take: Glen Pitre's The Crawfish Book. Think "étouffée for the XY chromosomed." Catch some crawdads and cook 'em up. Even a pocket idiot can do it.—Douglas Lord, "Books for Dudes," BookSmack! 8/5/10

    Great Gift Idea

    When my brother got engaged, I gave him this book as a present. Having just planned my own wedding, I knew how difficult it was for my husband to know how to help with the preparations for our big day. After my brother read this book he couldn¿t have thanked me more. He said he had no idea how much work goes it to planning a wedding. If you know any men who just got engaged, this is a great gift to give them.
