Product Description
This is not your father's wedding...Congratulations on your engagement, my clueless friend, and welcome to a world for which you are sadly ill equipped. You have entered a new dimension. A dimension of china patterns, ice swans, and boutonnieres. You're planning a wedding, and your fiancee expects more from you than a diamond ring and a blood test. So, you'd better get up to speed - and fast. From the best proposal to the coolest honeymoon, "The Clueless Groom's Guide" offers light-hearted commiseration, guidance, and a distinctly male take on the entire process of planning a traditional wedding.It gives you a sorely needed chuckle and some surprisingly useful advice to help you get through the many decisions your bride-to-be will pretend to want your opinion on, including: how and where to pop the question - and when to cue the mariachi band; why engagements of over two years are justified only by extended commitments to the armed forces and/or unusually long jail sentences; how to pick groomsmen gifts and groomsmen who almost deserve them; reception sites that offer style and originality...and why you should avoid them like the plague; and far more than you should ever rightly know about weddings.

This is not your father's wedding . . .
Congratulations on your engagement, my clueless friend, and welcome to a world for which you are sadly ill equipped. You have entered a new dimension. A dimension of china patterns, ice swans, and boutonnieres. You're planning a wedding, and your fianceé expects more from you than a diamond ring and a blood test. So, you'd better get up to speed--and fast.
From the best proposal to the coolest honeymoon, The Clueless Groom's Guide offers light-hearted commiseration, guidance, and a distinctly male take on the entire process of planning a traditional wedding. It gives you a sorely needed chuckle and some surprisingly useful advice to help you get through the many decisions your bride-to-be will pretend to want your opinion on, including:
- How and where to pop the question--and when to cue the mariachi band
- Why engagements of over two years are justified only by extended commitments to the armed forces and/or unusually long jail sentences
- How to pick groomsmen gifts and groomsmen who almost deserve them
- Reception sites that offer style and originality . . . and why you should avoid them like the plague.
- And far more than you should ever rightly know about weddings

The Clueless Groom's Guide: More Than Any Man Should Ever Know About Getting Married Great gift for a NERVOUS GROOM.
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this one for some help on my speech (as the groom) and with the hope I might find some other tips in there. Sadly, I got very little from the book and unless you're just coming out of high school, I doubt it would really help many grooms. There's plenty of free and more useful websites already up and running. Save your money and try the confetti speech writing book where I actually found some useful info.
Format:Paperback
Super book to tell him to how for once in his miserable life take marriage on the chin, have a laugh, treat them keen, whilst treating them mean.
Nah, on the whole , browsed through this book, great for a novice who isn;t in the know, how to treat a lady in love and life.
Evereyone could take something from this book, humorous and fun to read of just use as a referrence book! Either way great buy!

Useful resource but too chatty
This book contains some useful chapters and advice. Sections on the proposal and ring probably aren't relevant as those purchasing it are likely to already be engaged. Read more
