Rating: Summary: Funny, but under this guise should provide actual guidance Review: A good helping of humor is good for potential grooms, but most of us need more substantial info along with it. This book does provide a few good laughs (like the description of a diamond as an "overdigested lump of coal -- the kidney stone of earth's urinary tract)," but if you are looking for actual guidance - which you most likely will need - look elsewhere in the handful of books for grooms.

Rating: Summary: Hilarious! Review: As a recent bride, I came across this book and couldn't put it down! Thank God my husband didn't read it before our wedding, or there may not have been one... Marsh and Blumenfeld are masters at capturing the exact moment of discomfort and turning it into a riot fest!
Rating: Summary: A MUST! Review: Bought this for our buddy who's doomed, I mean, engaged and all 4 of us had to read it before passing it on to the groom-to-be.
Rating: Summary: Quickly being returned Review: I bought this book for my fiance hoping he could have a little fun with it. We've decided to return it pretty quickly -- while it starts our funny enough -- it quickly denegrates into non-funny jokes that indicate that there is NOTHING positive about getting married at all (meeting her parents -- no matter what her mother does means she's coming on the the groom). I expected a book of humor with some practical advice on how to get through it -- I found some humor, but nothing worth keeping.
Rating: Summary: Funny and kinda sorta useful Review: I picked up this book because as a groom I was being neglected. Yeah, poor little me. I did find that this book was a resource for, as the title states, not screwing up the biggest day of her life. Don't take anything too seriously in this book. It has been written to humor those of us who have made the biggest decision of our life, only to be thrown on the back burner until the wedding day.I found myself reading this when things got out of hand. When families started to argue over piddling things and the guestlist grew to triple the original size, this came in handy. Don't buy this if you are looking for REAL advice. You do get advice, but it is of a humourous nature. I liked it so much I buy my newly engaged friends this book.

Rating: Summary: HAVEN'T LAUGHED THIS HARD IN YEARS!! Review: I received this book as a gift and expected to be bored senseless with useless bits of tired advice. I was thrilled to be wrong. This book was both FUNNY and ENLIGHTENING. I highly reccommend this book to all marrying men. Everyone needs to laugh before the big day and this book delivers.
Rating: Summary: Very funny Review: Must read before the big day! Makes an excellent gift.
