The Knot Guide for the Groom

By Carley Roney

Boy meets Girl. Boy realizes she's The One. Boy proposes to Girl. Now what? The Knot Guide for the Groom is a relationship-saving guide to weddings for guys who think taffeta is a candy and Jordan almonds is the stripper booked for the bachelor party. With the wisdom and gentle humor of a big sister, The Knot's Carley Roney distills the rituals and duties of the modern wedding into a succinct script that even the most clueless guy can followand possibly enjoy. The wedding planning process is outlined in just enough detail to inform without causing undue terror, with emphasis on traditional groom duties such as finding an officiant for the ceremony, hiring a band or a DJ, and obtaining the marriage license. Extra attention is given to critical topics such as choosing a bride-approved wedding look (whether tuxedo or beach casual) and planning a honeymoon she'll enjoy too. Plus, advice on choosing a best man and groomsmen (and understanding their roles) helps the groom pick a winning team. With an accessible illustrated handbook format, The Knot Guide for the Groom will turn regular guys into happy husbands.

Worth it!

I recommend this book for any groom out there! I found it indispenable during our wedding planning......from helpful hints to advice on how to plan a honeymoon.....i bought a few other books similar to this but this ended up being the only one i really used! GET THIS BOOK!

I like this one, and so does my fiance!

This was the only book I found that presented a clear, simple, list-like timeline of when you should do things. For example, I had no idea how far before the wedding I should order my dress. The great thing about it is that most men (and some women) don't want some huge detailed planner of 50 different ways to do every last detail, with fabric samples & ideas on gift baskets for out-of-towners! The men (for the most part) don't care! They want an easy reference material that says "ok, this is what your woman is doing, this is what your job is, here's where to start." I read it from cover to cover, my man now keeps it in his car for reference material whenever something occurs to him to wonder about. Highly recommended.
