Summary: For a Specific Audience
Comment: The audience for this book seems to be young couples who have not organized social functions. The overriding emphasis is on style, flowers, colors, settings, the entertainment side, having fun, and there is nothing wrong with that. I agree with the other commentators--far too much space is spent telling us to hire an expert to be in charge. If you want advice on themes, flowers, and clothing styles, on what is the "in" thing, this is your book. If you have an idea how to plan events and are looking for alternatives, choices, and simplicity, especially for those over forty, and there a lot of us,look elsewhere. It certainly builds up expectations for a grand event, but with the national divorce rate over fifty per cent, there is an air of unreality and impossible expectations as well. It closely resembles the three glossy publications for Washington, DC, promoting the commercial services to implement these plans. The best part is too brief--the psychology of working with the families and the main players. Also, union musicians cost more and are worth it if you are more interested in the quality of the music than in the experience for high schoolers.

Summary: I enjoyed my own wedding more because of this book.
Comment: This book helped me in so many ways. I enjoyed planning my wedding because of this book. It was humorous, informative and had great worksheets. With so many thoughts and ideas flying around in your head when planning a wedding I needed this book to calm me down and bring me back down to earth. I gave this book to a few friends when they were planning their weddings and they loved it. I had a great time reading it. My wedding was more wonderful than I ever thought it would be. Most of the stress was lifted from all the info and humor I rec'd from this book. It was my wedding planning Bible! Although I lent it to friends I always make sure I get it back because reading all the worksheets I filled out brings me back to my wedding day.

Summary: Entertaining
Comment: Though I agree that the "bridal consultant advertising" was a touch excessive, I still found the book to be a lighthearted look at the realities of weddings. I used it in conjunction with other books and it was the only one that lifted my spirit at a time when even happy things become slightly traumatic. This books has done the rounds amongst my friends and family who have gotten married and they all loved it.
