Everyone talks about the stress engaged couples experience during the wedding planning process but this is the only book that explains why wedding planning can be so difficult. The author delivers practical, easy to use strategies to keep all participants happy while allowing the engaged couple to enjoy the process. Particularly helpful for couples coping with difficult families or second marriages.

This book came to my aid when my daughter was being married. Although it is intended for the bride, I found it very helpful in dealing with my daughter and the issues that she was facing. I have suggested this book to all of the families that I know who are going through this exciting, frustrating time of life

Bride's Guide helped me navigate some tough situations with friends, family and money. It made me realize that our wedding isn't just about us. It is about molding a new place in our lives as husband and wife. A wedding is a social ritual and redefines the role of parent and child. It is important to resolve problems before the wedding, lest they taint the new marriage. With the help of this book my fiance and I decided not to elope and instead we are having a small wedding, enriching our relationship and improving our relationship with friends and family.

This book helped me dramatically in dealing with all the pressures of getting married as well as handling the conflicts that can occur. It made me realize that it is was about me and my fiance and coping with a large number of family and friends merging together - for one day and a lifetime. Things were definitely not perfect my wedding day but I was able to take the advice from this book and apply it which to me, made my wedding day and all the planning leading up to it easier.

This book helped me during a time when I didn't have anywhere else to turn. It allowed me to understand that I'm not the only one going through a difficult engagement and how to deal with so many emotional issues during the planning of my wedding. It has given me the confidence to stand up for myself and resolve difficult family issues in such a stressful time of my life. I would highly recommend this book to any bride, as well as to other family members planning a wedding.

Bride's Guide to Emotional Survival was amazingly helpful for me as a second time bride. All of the possible issues that I could face were covered in this book, along with "solutions" on how to handle each situation. This book is great whether it is your first or second marriage, or even to help you deal with daily issues that arise when two families merge together.

The engagement period is full of magic, but is often loaded with incredible challenges. Planning her wedding, my daughter-in-law was helped enormously by BRIDES GUIDE TO EMOTIONAL SURVIVAL. The tension that sometimes overwhelmed her was eased by Dr. Bigel-Casher's wonderful, down-to-earth information and guidance.An asset to brides,their mothers and mothers-in-law everywhere, it also makes a terrific shower or engagement gift.
