A funny, practical wedding-planning guide just for grooms, with essential advice on engagement rings, guest lists, vendors, rehearsal dinners, wedding-day duties, speeches, honeymoons, and everything in between.

The Groom’s Instruction Manual gives husbands-to-be a funny, practical guide to navigating engagement, wedding planning, the big day, and what comes afterward. Author and veteran groom Shandon Fowler answers the questions that can leave even the most enthusiastic groom wondering where to begin: How do you choose a ring? What should you look for in a wedding photographer? How do you handle the guest list and feuding relatives? What exactly are you responsible for on the wedding day?

Packed with helpful tips and illustrated in the clever instruction-manual style of Quirk Books’ Owner’s and Instruction Manual series, this 208-page guide covers your questions and concerns. Whether you’re newly engaged, deep into wedding planning, or shopping for the groom-to-be, this compact handbook offers a humorous introduction to the practical decisions, responsibilities, and unexpected situations that come with getting married.
  • A practical, humorous guide to what the groom needs to know from engagement through the honeymoon
  • Get advice on proposals, wedding bands, reception venues, guest lists, photographers, entertainment, rehearsal dinners, and more

  • Charts, diagrams, checklists, and an entertaining instruction-manual format make wedding planning easier to digest
  • A fun engagement, bachelor party, wedding shower, or pre-wedding gift for newly engaged men

Get ready for the proposal, the planning, the party, and the “I do” with a groom’s guide to everything nobody thought to explain.
