Customer Reviews

I bought three!

I orignially got this for my fiance but I started reading it before I saw him and I had to finish it. I bought another 2 for my co-workers who will be getting married soon as well. It's a fun book and it talks about things that as a bride I wouldn't necessarily have thought of.

Great Book

This is a great book. It's funny, so it can be a gag gift, but it also has some helpful information. I got it for my fiance and he's been dutifully reading it and seemingly enjoying it. He seems to be particularly interested in the section about who is this financee and what happened to the woman I love. I like the part where it tells him that his finacee is always right. The one drawback...the opening section is on proposing, and it would have been a bit forward to give it to him before he proposed.

Beyond surviving!

This book by Shandon Fowler is not only humorous but it is a first rate guide to good manners & social customs which are often ignored or unknown until they have caused conflict in the wedding events!! The groom's life will be much better & he will survive marriage as well!! Knowing how differently men & women approach events & life issues is half the battle! A must read!

Bravo, bravo, bravo

I do not know Fowler. I have never met the man. Yet his work speaks to me in a way that Conrad, Gogol, and Pushkin never have. I salute you, Mr. Red, White, and Blue. Long may you run, Fowler, long may you run.

Hilariously Informative

I received this book as an engagement gift and wish I had bought it two years ago. This book touches on everything from buying the perfect ring to dealing with mother in laws. It adds a humorous narrative of the journey into marriage. A must-have for any groom-to-be or any bloke who has suddenly found himself madly in love. Whether you are just thinking about proposing or already planning a wedding, you need this book. -NF
