About the Author

Author Jerry Karns combines decades of wedding experience, humor, and heartfelt insight to create a practical guide for couples preparing for marriage. With real-life stories, premarital coaching tools, and a fresh perspective on communication and love, this book helps you build a strong foundation that lasts well beyond the wedding day.

Drawing from over three decades in the wedding industry, years of marriage, and countless hours of research, Jerry created a practical, down-to-earth guide for couples who want more than just a beautiful ceremony … they want a lasting marriage.

Inside you’ll find:

  • Simple, real-world tools to strengthen your relationship

  • Guided conversations to tackle important topics before (or after) you say “I do”

  • Insights from experience as a DJ, officiant, and coach who’s seen it all:  the good, the bad, and the “what were they thinking?” moments

  • A roadmap for connection that helps couples build trust, communication, and resilience

This isn’t a dry textbook or a lecture from a pulpit. It’s honest, funny, sometimes uncomfortably real, and always focused on helping couples thrive together.

Whether you’re newly engaged, already married, or somewhere in between, this book will help you not just start strong… but stay strong.
