Synopsis

Getting engaged, and then enjoying engagement festivities and planning the wedding is like riding an emotional roller coaster. The bride-to-be is elated at one moment, panicky the next, overjoyed a few hours later, nervous, worried about details, and at last, ecstatic with happiness! Here’s a book that every girl who has just been proposed to should pick up and add to her bundle of bridal magazines as required reading. Cheerful and chatty in tone, it offers advice and answers the many questions that regularly pop up during that period between announcing the engagement and the wedding day. How to compromise when the bride wants a gala wedding and the groom prefers a quiet ceremony? Do they want to announce their engagement in one or more newspapers. How to deal with invitations, caterers, and professional wedding planners? How to choose a bridal gown and apparel for the maids of honor? How to set a realistic budget? Answers to these and hundreds more questions are supplemented with addresses and web sites of jewelers, wedding planners, and other wedding service providers across the country. Amusing cartoon-style illustrations throughout.
