Do You Know Your Groom? - A Quiz About the Man in Your Life by Dan Carlinsky
Product Details
Web ID: 14061286Fun and Entertaining!
We didn't expect to spend so much time in Barnes and Noble asking each other questions from the books (We had both the Bride and Groom books). A lot of the questions were thought provoking enough for us to have lighthearted conversation and some questions were just ridiculous (i.e. what hospital were their parents born?) It was nothing that would start a fight, just lighthearted fun. For the price, I recommend taking a look at It :)

Sounds Bitter and Horrible Grading System
My fiancé and I bought this book and the "Do You Know Your Bride?" set as a fun afternoon activity to pass the time. All the fun we had was completely soured by the entire first page and grading system that was used. The welcome page comes off as bitter and condescending. It immediately laughs at people who claim they know their partner well and just rubs me completely the wrong way. It made it seem that no matter what you did you were expected to fail and the author would love nothing more than that. The grading scale is also a joke. There's only one "good" option for knowing your partner and the margin for that is incredibly, incredibly slim. Throw in some random questions that won't up in a normal conversation (Really? "Which of his teachers does he think is the hottest???") and it becomes near impossible to get a "good" rating. Immediately following "good" is "This would be great for couples who just started dating" and it goes downhill from there. Overall it seems like the odds are stacked against you - you will not get a nice score, both because of the randomness and silliness of some of the questions and the super thin success margin. Overall, it can be fun and there are things that we learned about each other after being together for five years because they just never really came up in normal conversation. If you buy this book - Just rip out the front page and have fun with it. Otherwise, the entire tone and grading setup will sour the entire experience for you like it did for us.
