Unfortunately, I purchased this book without reading the reviews and thinking, by the title, that it might actually be a helpful book to recommend to the grooms I work with during Ceremony and Reception Planning. Those with wry senses of humor may find it very humorous and enjoyable to read (while others could find it just plain offensive, degrading and belittling), but one thing I didn't find it was Helpful. There was nothing useful in the book to truly help a future husband "not screw up the biggest day of THEIR lives' - it was all just one big joke after another. Funny reading to some, but bordering on insulting to those men who don't share the sentiment that ..."For a groom, a wedding is no party. A wedding is something that happens to him, not for him."

Getting married is stressful and with this book I got through it with a smile. No one ever tells the truth about this stuff. These guys do. In a hilarious, witty, advice filled romp through the wedding process. This was just what the wedding doctor ordered. You can tell the authors have been through this and retained some perspective. My fiance'( now my wife) buys this for any friend of hers that is getting married. If you want a quick smart funny wedding read, if you want the truth because you can handle the truth then I urge you to get this book right away.

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.
