Boy meets Girl. Boy realizes she's The One. Boy proposes to Girl. Now what?

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.

I Do But I Don't

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 332

Book Description
Why is the stereotypical image of the bride before her wedding day that of a stressed, moody, indecisive, and frustrated woman cracking under pressure and snapping at everyone in sight? Why does being a bride feel like going through a second adolescence? And why, with the rate of couples seeking counseling for wedding-related debt doubling from year to year, do we continue to spend absurd amounts of money on this institution? Examining how the pressure to give into the crowd (mothers, mothers-in-law, caterers, dressmakers, bridesmaids, the groom himself) and the associated traditions (wearing white, being given away, being introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Groom) is sometimes at odds with the "progress" the bride and groom may have made on these issues in private, Kamy Wicoff answers these questions and more in this sure-to-be-talked-about look at the modern bride. Through poignant and funny personal experience, eye-opening conversations with other brides, and scholarly and popular research, she strives to find both the personal and cultural meaning of all the trappings and traditions-from the proposal to the ring, to the dress, and even the bachelorette party. Her insights will blow the roof off the proverbial wedding tent. Her passionate argument for conscious marriage will ring true to the thousands of women planning weddings every day. To keep our sanity, our integrity, and our relationships intact, Wicoff says, "the way we marry matters."

Five Stars: Readers' Favorite"A real page-turner. I advise every couple to read You Exhaust Me."-Barbara Fanson, Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, Four Stars: Bright Copy Book Review"I was laughing out loud. I related so much to the birthday chapter, it's unreal. All in all, this book was fully entertaining."-- Alyssa Campbell, Bright Copy Book Review Why a marriage guide for clueless guys? Do you really have to ask? More than 2 million guys get married every year in the United States alone, and many (perhaps most) have no clue about the world they will enter once they say, "I do." Does a guy know the 10 Fatal Words his wife will spring on him days before her birthday? Does a guy know why he should never throw away his wife's "bag of bags"? Does he know why he should avoid watching romance movies with his wife once he's been married for a couple of years? No, no, and most definitely no! Millions of men are clueless about what to expect from marriage and need practical advice from a guy who has been there and seen it all. Candid and humorous, You Exhaust Me, A Clueless Guy's Guide to Marriage, speaks directly to clueless men (married or planning to marry) everywhere. With more than 20 years' experience (and counting) as a husband, Bob Marsocci provides valuable insight on what guys should really expect after the wedding rings go on. Bob's personal and often hilarious marital anecdotes and lessons (often learned the hard way) will enlighten any soon-to-be or newly married man. If that's you, take it from a formerly clueless guy: If you want to avoid hearing "You exhaust me!" from your wife, read this book. It's got the secret sauce to keeping her (and you) happy.
