THIS IS A "MUST" FOR ALL GROOMS-TO-BE!

Here's a surprisingly humorous, yet helpful book that's not just another "to-do" book. It's actually a personal story that's happens to include all the necessary lists, tips and advice that every groom will (desperately) need. I say desperately because the information in this book is something you can learn a lot less painfully from someone else's experience. The greatest benefit for a man is learning that, in the end, it isn't about one thing that'll save the day...the "answer" is much simpler -- by helping out a little, the payback will be a lot. By finishing the book early enough in one's own wedding planning, men will get the benefit of Craig's missteps and prevent missing out doing the right thing for their big day (which isn't just one day, but the start of many days to come). I'm sure that a lot of enlightened brides-to-be can find tremendous value in this book, too. She'll get a glimpse inside the mind of a marrying man and find out what her mate is actually thinking about...without having to ask him. While groom-oriented, the book is very bride-friendly, so women might get a kick out of the book as well. And maybe be able to take a whole new approach at getting their mates to participate more. What I found particularly interesting was that the "backbone" of the book is a complete story. Not just anecdotes, leaving you wanting more. The reader gets to experience one groom's world from start to finish. And the story is really an everyman's story which makes it very relatable. This is one of the best designed books on the market today which makes it an easy read for almost any guy. Men aren't typically big buyers of relationship book so it's a great gift for women to give to their guys in their lives whether it's a fiancé, friend, son, brother, etc..

The right book at the right time!

My brother bought this for me as a gift and it couldn't have come at a better time. My fiance and I were stressing out during these last few weeks before the big event and this really helped - we both got a big laugh from it. The author is dead-on with his hilarious accounts of what it's like for the groom (and believe me... all the grooms have experienced something like this) and after I read it (and was laughing out loud half the time) my fiance picked it up and read it to. I definitely recommend it to any who is about to take the plunge, or knows someone who is.

The Right Stuff!!!!!

For starters let me just tell you that I watch sports on TV for exercise so the idea of reading any book that I don't have to isn't high on my priority list. That said THANK GOD I read this little Gem!!! The only reason I picked it up in the first place is because The Diamond Guy gave it two thumbs up!! In his article "Who is Craig Michaels?" he made it sound like I was missing the opportunity of a life time if I raced through engagementville. And boy was he right! Ever since I changed my attitude about my last days of bachelorhood Sally (my girl) and I have been closer than ever! I'm even having a good time. My favorite part is being introduced to everyone as the perfect husband-to-be!! Thanks for the book Craig!!!

A Hilarious Read!

I was kept in constant giggles. A very funny tell-all, that has left me craving for more. A must read not just for grooms, but for anyone looking for a laugh.
