This review is from: Destination Bride (Paperback)

This is a must-have book for anyone planning or contemplating a destination wedding -- or any wedding for that matter. There is oodles of information packed between the covers of this book -- everything from sites to how to comply with marriage license laws and waiting periods in certain countries. It also covers issues like currency and voltage! It's a beautifully laid-out book with easy-to-follow type and lots of color photos. There's even Internet resources, maps and airport information. It will pay for itself many, many times over. A great book for planning or just dreaming.

3.0 out of 5 stars So-So, March 25, 2006

This review is from: Destination Bride (Paperback)

Have you ever opened a book only to find that only a few of its pages pertain to you? Only about 115 pages or so of this book have valuable information; the remaining 250 or so pages discuss various destinations and resort suggestions in each one. If you are planning a wedding in, for instance, the Bahamas, you'll find there are only three and a half pages which discuss the Bahamas. At the same time, none of the information is new - all of it is information the resourceful bride can glean online - for free.

Of the useful information, the author covers the planning process, but again, none of this information seemed more than common sense (make sure you have internet access and a cell plan with good international rates). As someone else noted, many of the web addresses were incorrect.

Not a bad book by any means, but not as useful as I was hoping it would be.
