You may think you know almost everything there is to know about the man you've chosen to be your groom. Trust us, this little book will show that really, you don't. No matter how long you two have known each other, no matter how much you've talked-about matters both serious and foolish-there's plenty you haven't yet learned about him.

This hundred-question quiz will help you to educate yourself, so grab a pencil and see how you do. You won't find the answers in the book, of course. For those, you'll have to check with your man. When you do, you'll find yourselves talking to each other about each other: your likes and dislikes, your beliefs and opinions, and stories and facts about your pasts.

They're little things, sure, but they aren't insignificant. They're the bits and pieces that make up who we are. And knowing about them is much more than collecting mere personal trivia. Knowing is caring.

Score ten points for each correct answer (taking partial credit wherever you can) and rate yourself according to this scale:
Above 900: What a performance!
800-900: Very good for a couple just starting out.
600-790: Pretty good. You'll improve as time goes by.
Below 600: Ask your groom for a remedial course.

Good luck.

My husband and I purchased these ( both Do you know your groom & Do you know your bride) shortly after getting married. They were entertaining and left us feeling informed and good that we knew so much about each other. We giggled a lot...well my husband chortled and I giggled :). Since then we have purchase several sets of these for couples as wedding gifts. They are the perfect activity for that plane ride to a honeymoon destination.

I received this as a gift and couldn't wait to get home and try it out on my fiancé. It was a lot of fun! Even after six years of dating, some of these questions I didn't know, they're so out there. But it was great. We laughed a lot and playfully argued over partial credit. I just ordered Do You Know Your Bride-it's his turn!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun!!!!, November 21, 2011

I've only had a chance to "play" the first 10 questions or so, but so far, this is great!!!
Nice, relaxing, and a great way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon....some of the questions made us laugh, some ask more questions, and some made us remember the 'old times'....love it!
