Review: I remember the joy (and stress) of being a bride. My wedding was on my mind 24-7 for months leading up to the wedding. I would have really enjoyed having this book as I was preparing for the big day and I look forward to passing it on to my mom who is getting married next year. Like always, there is a really nice variety of stories: ones that make you tear up, others that make you laugh, and a lot that remind you to slow down and enjoy the wedding rather than being constantly stressed about it. I was also glad that there was a chapter for women getting married (or married again) at an older age and I think that my mother will really appreciate it. There are some cartoons scattered throughout the book which I found to be extremely funny. This would make a really good engagement or shower gift for the bride who enjoys reading!
