5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, useful book kept me organized!, May 28, 2003

This is a great book that kept me organized through the whole stressful process of planning my wedding - which went off without a hitch (except, of course, I DID get hitched!). What's good about the book is that it covers every detail and has lots of spaces to keep track of your planning progress. I found the coutdown calendars and budget charts to be helpful too. I bought other wedding planners, but this is the one I ended up using.

I was so excited to get this book since I am planning my own wedding! Unfortunately, there was A LOT more writing and more wear than I expected from what I read on the description of the book from the seller. So, I am disappointed to put it into one word. If this book was in better condition, I would love it.
