Customer Reviews

I really got a huge kick out of this book. And so did my fiancée. It has some really useful information. It's funny. But it's also real good spirited. Any engaged guy would benefit from this. I went to a bookstore with my fiancée and lounged around in the wedding books section. Most of the books that were there were written for/from the female perspective, and therefore did not motivate me to purchase or read the book. The other books for men were more about etiquette and what to expect. Then I ran across this one. I figured... oh no, it's another idiots guide or for dummies books... but then I realized that it wasn't. So I picked it up and read parts of it. Right off, I could tell that from the sense of humor of the author, that at the very least if it didn't offer me new information, since I have never been married before, it would at least keep me entertained.
So I purchased it. And I started reading it instead of a newspaper during some private time. It offered some helpful advice. It told me what to expect. And it made me laugh. What else could I ask for. I highly recommend getting this book because it does help me feel more informed about what to expect, and I don't have to carry around some frilly Martha Stewart-like book. The publisher and author understand that there is a niche for wedding books for men... that guide, offer advice, and entertain at the same time. If you are one of those football loving, bud light beer commercial watching, 20 something, 30 something, and even 40 something men, who has never been married before, then this is the book for you.

A lot of good tips in here. It wasn't what I expected. Then again, I don't think it's like much like anything else out there. It's cool... and funny, like everyone else says. But it make great points and gets you to really think about wedding planning from a different perspective -- one that can't help but make planning go smoother for the bride. But the secret is how this is really just as good for grooms as it is brides. Like Mr. Essany writes, being a great groom doesn't mean doing a lot or even doing a little. It means being the type of groom that fits your unique situation and Groomology helps you find that role.
