From the Author

"Being A Bride was written from the perspective of a woman. I was trying to capture how I felf about Being A Bride, and what experiences I have gone through throughout my life. I remember playing dress up as a little girl. I loved wrapping a white blanket around my body, grabbing a few flowers, and pretending I was the bride. There was always something magical about the thought of being a bride.

And when I became engaged, a whole flood of emotions came into my life. I remember looking at my brand new, sparkling diamond, and thinking I was the luckiest girl in the whole world. I remember realizing I had found the perfect gown the moment I put it on. And I remember planning each detail of our wedding to perfection. Those are the emotions I want to share with you within my book Being A Bride!"

This review is from: Being a Bride (Hardcover)

Combining Lori J. Osberger's truly "reader friendly" text with Andrew J. Osterberg's superb photographic images, Being A Bride is an inspired and inspiring celebration of what it means to become a married woman through the celebrational rituals of our culture. The profusion of black and white images, as well as the wealth of color photographs, perfectly capture the joy of the moment. These images, underscored with brief yet heartfelt snippets of poetry and prose, make Being A Bride a superbly presented, heartwarming, and memorable tribute to a very special form of personal and familial happiness.

I very much enjoyed this book. The photography is incredible.
The author starts you out from a little girl's perspective, and takes you through all stages (as well as the emotions) of becoming a bride. It is very touching. I think it makes a wonderful gift book. I would recommend this book as a shower gift or a new engagement gift.
