Summary: Save your marriage before it starts
Review: As an older groom, and my first marriage, I was a little uncertain about the "tradition" of marriage. At some point I even lost my perspective of what was important. This book kept me focused from begining to end. It is clear concise and the goal is always apparent - just follow the guide. I am now buying my 24th book to give to a friend. The book walks you through the pain and torture of register to picking china and napkins. Thousand of books are written for brides, this is the one for the groom - At any age or number of time you've married.

Summary: Extremely helpful for grooms-to-be!
Review: Getting married? Get this book. Takes a lighter approach to dealing with planning a wedding and dealing with the associated stress. The author manages to provide some good advice on topics ranging from picking out an engagement ring to dealing with the in-laws to the big event itself while injecting some humour into the whole process. A good read, and with pictures too!

Summary: Save your money - you'll need it
Review: I (the groom) bought this book because we were having difficulty deciding on a number of things for our wedding. I was immensely disappointed to find the book lacking utterly in anything truly helpful, anything new (you know all this stuff already), and I didn't laugh once. I also found it condescending, like the verbal pat-on-the-head our wedding planner gave me when I expressed an opinion (we fired her.)
Save your money - after you're married you'll need every penny.

Summary: For unserious grooms
Review: I purchased this for my fiance, because we were having disagreements about some of our wedding plans. He took it on a business trip and when he came back he said he'd read it and it was very funny and it helped him understand a lot of the things I wanted and why, and what he should do to help me with the planning, and also what part he should play in doing some of the planning.

Summary: Useful. Funny. Just the right length.
Review: No one book can tell you everything you'll need to know about being a groom. But, if you're like me and know (knew) nothing this one has a good amount of truly helpful info that you can actually use.And this book is --thank God-- funny and pretty short (so we men with our short attention spans can actually get through it). If you want a chatty wedding book with lots of details about flowers, colours, etc., get a book aimed at brides. If you take the view that to a surprisingly large extent grooms are just elaborate wrist decoration for brides on THEIR day, this book gives enough genuinely useful information to make it well worth getting.
If you know nothing about all this wedding stuff, I can assure you this book really helped me and can help you. So, I highly recommend it.

Review: This book does a great job of dealing with some difficult subjects (difference in religion, in-laws, etc.) and balances realism with humor. I purchased this book above some other groom manuals because, while funny, it did take marriage seriously and was not just an excuse for a lot of lewd jokes about strippers and bachelor parties. I would reccomend this book as a comic (but very helpful) guide to getting married.

Summary: For unserious grooms
Review: This book does not give advice on how to help the bride, it makes fun of the whole wedding planning experience, and tells the groom what not to do, and this is not helpful. Whoever thinks that this book is written for a groom that wants to help, is kidding themselves.
