As a jewelry designer who has helped thousands of couples select their perfect engagement rings & wedding rings, I'm thrilled to see a book to help the newly engaged navigate their way through one of the most exciting times in their lives. Ms. Nemcoff's easy & fun writing style will be very helpful to all of those going thru the path to Wedship and will also take a lot of 'stress' away by sharing simple tips and how to's. This is simply a must for any newly engaged couple. Probably a great gift item for the man to get his fiance or any of the mom's to give the bride to be!

The New Rules of Engagement reads like a dream. It feels like the author is right there in the room talking to YOU. What sets this book apart is the hysterical laugh-out-loud commentary combined with the real-life advice not only from the author, but from cited third-party sources. Marnie Nemcoff had definitely done her research on this one. This book is a keeper and would make a great add-on to a bridal shower gift or a "congratulations on your engagement" gift or "just because every girl should read this" gift.

A friend told me about the book and what perfect timing! My daughter just got engaged and I gave the book to her. She and I both read it and found it very useful. Marnie Nemcoff's writing is easy, funny and very friendly. Lovely book!

"The New Rules of Engagement" by Marnie Nemcoff is one of those books I secretly wish I would have read before I got married.

It's chock full of "engagement goodness," and I daresay would have saved me from several major mistakes as I traversed the path from singlehood to Married Man.

When you can't think of something to give your newly engaged friends - Give them this book!

Nemcoff's writing style is like reading a conversation you might have with your girlfriends. She's witty and fun, practical with a humourous twist. She goes into the obvious topics of engagement, like the ring, the announcement, invites, etc. But she also touches on issues like Living Arrangements (live together before or after the big day?), the Dreaded Diet (that last 10 lbs, is it worth it?), Like Pulling Taffy (engaged life, will affect your relationship with single friends?), as well as a section on Engagement Customs & Traditions, and Wedding Traditions Around the World, which has some rather amusing anecdotes. There's a list at the back of the book of useful websites as well as a rudimentary Wedding Checklist to give you an idea of the things you ought to be thinking about NOW.

This book is a quick read (90 pages), I finished in a day. It offers practical advice, liberally sprinkled with the author's own insights, opinions, and humor. Again, as I said, it's like reading a conversation you might have with a girlfriend.

This little tome would make a GREAT bridal shower gift!
