Publisher's Synopsis
Congratulations, you are engaged. You are super excited buying all the bridal magazines, planning guides and looking forward to the next wedding show. You might also be getting all kinds of advice from friends who have had a wedding, been to a wedding or saw a wedding on tv! Now, you are totally overwhelmed and don't know where to start. This book is a guide for just this situation; information for those who are not sure the advice they are getting will work for them. The locations and dresses and colors and most of all, the costs are just not for you. You don't want to do what everyone else is doing, but you are not sure what that is. This is NOT a planning guide. It is a THINK before you plan guide. It's a look at what could happen if you are not asking the right questions or setting unrealistic goals and budget. This book covers what you might not have thought about, with real life stories that will make you think and consider and maybe, hopefully, re-plan. It's a guide on how to rethink planning a wedding and a reframing of what a wedding should really be about. and contrary to what popular culture has led us to believe, it is NOT ALWAYS about the bride!
