Whether you roll your eyes at your fiancé, or he rolls his at you, you should read this excerpt from Tara Parker Pope’s wonderful book, For Better: The Science of a Good Marriage.

While it's more upscale than his "red cup" parties he threw in the past, you want your wedding to be fun and memorable. He'll help you with that!

For now, let's skip details like colors, centerpieces, and what flowers to use. Let's start with things we're really interested in: musical entertainment, food & alcohol, and the photographer.

Let him give his advice on whether to hire a DJ or a band.”
