Product Description
For decades, bookstore pregnancy sections were dominated by books for women - until Quirk's "Baby Owner's Manual" presented a fun and refreshing alternative for male readers. Now the women-centric world of Wedding books is about to meet its male counterpart: "The Groom's Instruction Manual". Here's everything a groom needs to know for his big day - presented with clear instructions and a visual language that guys can understand.

A lighthearted look at a serious matter, going through most aspects of the whole process and not only the wedding itself (eg, how to choose a ring and how to propose). More or less this is a checklist of various bits and pieces you have to consider. Although it is all quite funny and with witty diagrams (think of a photographic camera instruction manual), there are plenty of nuggets of information and the authors are quite reasonable. It makes for a tidy small gift.

I bought this book about 3 months before my wedding, and really enjoyed reading it. The content is more appropriate if you are in the very early stages of arranging the wedding (before you even propose, in fact). However, what makes it good is the fact it is written specifically for men, and it definitely reads as such! Lots of funny stories, analogies and jokes. I particularly like the extensive section on buying flowers - 'No man should have any participation in picking the flowers for his wedding'. A great read - it has now been passed on to another friend getting ready for his big day. It would also make a good (all too awkward to find) small congratulatory wedding gift from a guy friend to a would-be groom, given the way it is written.

My mum bought this for my fiancé for Christmas (I think my parents thought he was slacking off!) It's been in the bathroom (where all the best books are kept!) and it's honestly so laugh out loud funny. I'm not sure how useful my other half has found it, he got a glut of "Groom's Guide" books for Christmas and I think this was the last straw! But actually, if he read it, he would find there are some quite useful pointers in there. Help with Guest Lists, the music for the day, the wedding night, the honeymoon and beyond.
A word of warning, it's very American, and so some stuff needs to be taken with a pinch of salt in relation to a UK wedding (traditions are different, for example, we tend not to have Rehearsal Dinners so that chapter was useless) but there are some universally good points in there.
It's filled with simple illustrations pointing out the things to look out for and be aware of in relation to the bride, the brides parents, the best man, the dance floor, the stag night (batchelor party) etc. I found these really funny especially the comparison between "Your Fiancée" and "The Woman You Love". I'll leave you to figure out the possible differenes between the two!
Don't take it too seriously, it's not a serious book and if you're looking for something with 'proper' advice, try a Confetti guide. But enjoy it for the funny little book it is.
