I bought this book on a whim, and while it is definately not what I would ever call useful - it's a cute and provides a nice break from any actual wedding planning that needs to get done. The events that might actually happen at a wedding have pretty obvious suggestions, and the more creative suggestions are reserved for things that I hope would never happen (a bridesmaid coming to the ceremony drunk).

Let's be honest - planning a wedding is not fun. The bride does most of the work, and after many months of planning, it's easy for a bride to lose her cool when something small goes wrong. This book totally puts the big day in perspective, and can give the bride a little stress relief. Yes, it's mostly silly and contains hints such as how to make a dress out of a tablecloth or how to make a ring out of a chewing gum wrapper, but that's exactly what a stressed out bride needs to take her mind off of the planning process! Your invitation envelopes got mangled in the mail? Big deal! Brides can rest assured that worse things could happen, such as your band doesn't show up, your cake gets dropped, or your groom goes missing. It's a fun escape from the stresses of wedding planning and makes a great gift for brides to be!

Odly enough,I actually used some of the strange things in this book for my wedding. So,it was not only humerious in a very stressful time,but surprisingly useful, too.

This is a gift I usually like to give to friends at engagement parties as a little something to ease all the stress of planning for a wedding. It usually is a big hit and my friends enjoy the silly little scenarios talked about. Depending on the person I give it to I like to flag a page that i feel really represents them in the book. They get a good laugh over it.

I purchased this for my soon to be daughter in law. She loved it. A great light hearted look at wedding planning with all the ups and downs. One of her Bridesmaids quit on the night I gave her this. She went right to the book. Helped put things in perspective. Funny yet somewhat useful!

I hope I don't have to use it on my wedding day but it is very entertaining

The worst case scenario survival books are supposed to be a mixture of humor and useful information, but this book doesn't contain much of either. Any tips that might be helpful and actually usable in reality are few and far between, and the jokes are very weak.

Bought this as a fun gift - not as funny or even as helpful as I thought it would be.

I actually ordered two copies of this for friends who are getting married. They were a hit with both of them! I'd highly recommend this little book.
