I was given this book by a friend who recently got married. I found it entertaining and extremely easy to read. This book is most useful right when one gets engaged to help you sort of piece together how the whole planning process should go. It has a lot of background on wedding traditions- both in different cultures and superstitions. All advice, when taken with a grain of salt, can help you see the kind of decisions to consider. The back section has checklists and suggestions on registry item. I was happy to read it, but also happy to pass it on to one of my friends when she got engaged.

A easy to read, informative book with great lists and sheets but preachy to say the least. The authors of the book seem more concerned how your guests want the wedding to be than what the bride wants. For example, they suggest a French manicure, light pink or another pale color because "Fire-engine red might be fun for the honey-moon, but it will probably raise eyebrows during the ceremony." They go further by saying wearing perfume for your wedding is a bad idea because one of the guests may be allergic. While practical this is the couples wedding, not the guests wedding. If you want you wedding to truly be you "own" skip this book. However, if you like to be told what to do, right down to the underthings you wear then this is the book for you.
