The Funny Bride Guide will have every woman who has been a part of a wedding, from the bride to an invitee of the bridal shower, rolling around the floor laughing! By reading this book, a bride will know the appropriate response to receiving a gift that might be, shall we say, a bit odd: "A crocheted doll toilet paper cover! Look how pretty she is! She's a little toilet paper princess...!" Now the giver will be happy and the bride can chuck the gift at the first opportunity, or put it on top of her Christmas tree. -- Click Weekly, September, 1999

5.0 out of 5 stars The Funny Bride Guide, May 2, 2000

By 

Douglas Lennard (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Funny Bride Guide (Paperback)

As a male, I am totally ignorant of wedding etiquette. I have a sister-in-law who is to be married shortly, so I went looking for some assistance. Admittedly, I am intimidated by the whole affair so I wanted a book that would not add anymore pressure. I looked through several books, which not only further intimidated me, but reinforced the fact that I am completely out of my element. I was about to throw in the towel when I picked up The Funny Bride Guide. As frustrated as a wedding inept male can get, I began to laugh at the first page. I continued laughing through the day as I finished reading the book. I was so relieved and pleased I went and purchased another copy for my soon to be sister-in-law. She has thanked me non-stop for alleviating some stress with the use of The Funny Bride Guide. Thank you very much to the ladies who were so considerate of a man who only wants to do whats right with the least amount of pain. Kudos!

I'm in the process of planning my second wedding. The first time around, I read the "usual" books; you know, the ones that presume you have an infinite budget and that you only want the most traditional of ceremonies and receptions. This time, it's a little different. I wanted something that would give me useful information and be an enjoyable read. I definitely found it in "The Funny Bride Guide." This book contains good, sound advice along with some outstanding humor (e.g., repeated reminders not to let your lipstick fade). There is even a section entitled "gift receiving," which gives you ideas on how to handle multiples of the same gift (some ideas humorous, some serious) and the gift that cannot be identified. I read this aloud to my fiance, Jeff, and he found it absolutely hilarious. However, he *also* went back to re-read it and glean the valuable information contained in the pages. This is a quick, enjoyable read that will provide the most essential how-to information for wedding planning. I recommend it highly to anyone planning a wedding -- first, second ... fifth ... it will definitely be of assistance.

5.0 out of 5 stars To love, honor and laugh!, January 10, 2000

This review is from: The Funny Bride Guide (Paperback)

This is the book I wish someone had given ME when I was planning my wedding! I laughed all the way through "The Funny Bride Guide", because authors Barrett and Moro not only tell it like it really is, they come up with the most hysterical solutions, responses and ideas. These girlfriends can prepare any female for the befuddling bridal moments your mother won't tell you about and you won't read about in the magazines. I'll be sending a copy of "The Funny Bride Guide" not only to my friends who are planning a wedding, I'll be sending a copy to my mom AND to my married girlfriends, so we can share a laugh over "remember when this happened?" or "if only we had thought of saying this!"
