Wow, Geoff,
Thank you for sending through your book and sorry for being so tardy in replying but wanted to read it properly before replying. It looks good!
It's practical, very thorough - can't think of any aspect that you haven't included and I do like the bullet points - very male friendly! The cross referencing is helpful too. So, really great - what a wonderful idea.
I will use this book in my practice.
Congratulations!

How to use this guide.
The whole program is designed so that you should have just a few things to do each week.
The contents page lists all the events that have anything to do with weddings.
You do not have to do them all, most couples don’t.
NOTE: There are no absolute social rules. You can do anything you want to, provided it’s legal and you don’t offend other people.
There is a chapter on each event. In each chapter I explain everything you need to know about that particular subject. This does not mean that it is a full and complete encyclopaedia of that subject. It is simply, all that YOU need to know.
Caution; do not think that because you have read this book you know everything. That attitude will get you into a heap of trouble.
If you try to tell your future mother in law how to suck eggs, your marriage may be over before it even gets started.
It may seem that there is a lot to do. Well, yes there is, but don’t be put off, it’s not as much as it looks. You don’t personally do everything, but, it is very good for you to be aware of it.
A lot is just a matter of you making a loving gentle reminder to your fiancée. Something like, ”honey, we don’t need to be doing anything more about the church, do we.” Or, “have we got the decorations all organised“. She will probably have it all in hand, but asking shows that you are interested and aware of what is happening, and willing to help. √
“Your Wedding Countdown” takes you step by step through everything you need to do, in the order and at the time it should be done.
As we come to each step or action required I will refer you to the chapter which deals with that thing in full detail. E.g. Flowers. At the appropriate time, the wedding countdown will direct you to the chapter on flowers. This will tell you everything you need to know about wedding flowers, along with suggestions and recommendations which will keep you scoring more points and impressing √ everyone. It is important to read each chapter as we come to it.
The whole program is designed so that you should have just a few things to do each week. I strongly recommend that every Monday you go to your wedding count down and decide what there is to do that week, and then check again on Thursday.

¨ Finalise the menu for the reception, order wine or liquor
¨ Plan the bridal party rehearsal lunch or dinner.
¨ Invite bridesmaids, groomsmen and party attendants to a lunch or
dinner during the week before the wedding.
Not the night before the wedding day to avoid exhaustion.
You don’t have to do all these things yourself, but just check; lovingly.
Bachelor Party
The first question to ask yourself is, do you want a stag or bachelor party.
You may not want to for any number of very valid reasons, depending on your culture, age, personality, religion, respect for your fiancée, if you have been married before, or who pays.
If you don’t want a stag party for any reason at all, don’t have one.
|| Warning ||
Do not let your friends, work mates or relatives talk you into something you don’t want to do.
This is your wedding, you do exactly what you and your fiancée want.
When
|| Warning || Stag parties the night before the wedding are an absolute no.
There should be at least a week between a stag party and the wedding, two or three may be better.
I have read of someone recommending four months before, to give time for recovery.
Planning
¨ Start planning well in advance, bookings for a large group may be required and you don’t want to miss out having what you want because the venue is already booked.
¨ You and the best man must decide on the tone right from the beginning, other wise if will get out of hand.
¨ The Guest list must be sorted out NOW. Don’t have too many.
¨ Be very careful inviting work mates.
¨ Ask those you intend to invite for suggestions. A simple “Hey, what do you think we should for a bachelor party? “
¨ You make the final decisions with the best man.
¨ Send out invitations, email is ok.
Make sure everyone invited knows well in advance all the details and costs.
Caution
I strongly advise you to tell your fiancée what you are doing. Most girls are quite fearful of what happens at a stag party. (She may say she isn’t, but she is.) Telling her will help put her mind at rest and will also build trust and openness in your future relationship together. √
