2.0 out of 5 stars Very little actual content, August 26, 2001

This review is from: Dear Son About Your Wedding: A Guide for the Groom-to-Be (Paperback)

I was hoping this book would provide me with a few new bits of information on what to expect on planning a wedding and maybe a little bit on married life. But, probably the most insightful advice in the book was that I would need to learn to pick my clothes off the floor before I got married....
