Guide Review - "The Complete Wedding Planner"
When Bob and I were married, we kept our wedding simple: no rehearsal dinner and only cake and punch at our reception. Still, we ended up having the wedding from hell.
Perhaps if we had read a book like this one, we wouldn't have found ourselves with such a stressful wedding day. The author writes, "Remember, a special wedding requires forethought and consideration, but it also comes from the heart. Don't let the hectic months and weeks leading up to your big day whip you into a panic...don't let little spills and glitches blind you to the overall beauty and meaning of the occasion."
This book can help you be better prepared for your special day as you two begin your life long journey together.
