If it is not picking out the table cloths to match the flowers, than it could be working on the menu or the invitations or even designing the wedding website.

Advice for the groom

The Engaged Groom (subtitled "You're Getting Married—Read This Book") is more intent on quelling that rising gorge in your throat with savvy advice on subjects ranging from picking a date to surviving a bachelor party, and even has a handy diagram showing the proper bow-tying technique.

The best thing I can say is that I'm glad I don't have to go through it again (though I wouldn't trade the experience, or my wife, for anything). I can now enjoy these books, then pass them on to my recently engaged son. That might be a good idea for you, too, if you've got a male relative or friend preparing for the big step.
