Description

With the warmth and wisdom of a big sister, The Knot's Carley Roney distills the rituals, duties and expectations of the modern wedding into a succinct script that even the most clueless guy can follow - and possibly enjoy. The Knot Guide for Grooms is designed to help the man of the hour determine how involved he wants to be in the wedding preparations and how to manage his relationship with the bride while it's happening. The wedding planning process is outlined from the groom's point of view, with special emphasis on traditional groom duties such as choosing 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. Best of all, advice on choosing a best man and groomsmen (and understanding their roles) helps the groom pick a winning team. With an accessible, charmingly illustrated paperback handbook format and Carley's gentle humour, The Knot Guide for the Groom is the perfect gift for the groom from the women in his life.
