Book Review: The Clueless Groom's Guide - Peter Van Dijk
The subtitle for this book is More Than Any Man Should Know About Getting Married, but the information in this book is exactly what every man should know before he gets married. While the information in this book is presented in a humorous way and Van Dijk uses some fairly ridiculous examples,...
