The Engaged Groom : You're Getting Married. Read this Book.

Most grooms out there are either not sure how to get involved, or find wedding planning tedious and boring. Doug Gordon shows you how to capitalize on your interests and talents to make wedding planning fun.

Pros

Cons

When I first encountered Planetgordon.com, I was immediately drawn to Doug Gordon's mix of humor and practical advice for grooms – an area where there is definitely a shortage of good information available. Now the smart people at Collins publishers have recognized his talent and published his concise and straightforward advice book for grooms with a no-nonsense approach.

Gordon starts off by showing how a guy can create a role for himself as an IT Consultant, Producer, Delivery Guy, etc. in the wedding then takes him step by step through the process of actually getting the job done.

Not only did I enjoy reading this book, but I promptly gave it to my groom who also found it informative and useful. He particularly liked the tear-out guide to tying a tie which is written backwards so you can read it in the mirror!

Although this book isn't perfect, it is a big improvement over trying to get a guy to read a traditional wedding planning book - one that will talk down to him, or ignore him completely - assuming that a groom would never REALLY be helping to plan the wedding. Kudos to Doug Gordon for charting a new path for grooms.
