5.0 out of 5 stars Wedding Worries for Moms, November 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Day, Your Way: The Essential Handbook for the 21st-Century Bride (Paperback)

I am a Mother Of A bride who to be honest has not had exactly easy these last few months..i have been told a million times that I am to have understanding.Frankly i am over it! I was in a bridal store the other day and where we were shopping in Colorado and i picked up this book called" your day..". i started flipping through it and my eyes immediately went to the chapter ' navigating the mine field of family politics" After reading the book from cover to cover i picked up so many tips on what we are all feeling and some real good advice. Ofcourse I gave my daughter to read it and it has really helped not just with ideas, but how to cope with each other. I think I may actually really enjoy the day when it arrives and not be such a nervous wreck. Read it. You will find help. I promise you all.
Good luck.

4.0 out of 5 stars MY "TO GO" BRIDAL SHRINK!!, October 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Day, Your Way: The Essential Handbook for the 21st-Century Bride (Paperback)

So many people when planning their wedding actually foget why they are doing it after awhile. so much to plan and do, a job, the stress, the cost all the extra details. I chanced across Your day, your way and I took it home thinking it could at least make me laugh a little at myslef. well what the book has done is actually take me through the emotions i have been experiencing and put them into some sort of context. I just could not believe how acurate it is. Planning a wedding is also navigating a whole lot of family stuff. This book hits it on the head in a very even way. My applause. my thanks.
You have got to buy this book and sit down and really read it. If you are a bride a planner or even close to helping the planners. I really think for $18.95 it was my "to go shrink"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bride a rama, October 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Day, Your Way: The Essential Handbook for the 21st-Century Bride (Paperback)

This book is written with such wit and such fun.
Yes, there are books out there that give you the month and to do lists, but where is the schedule for the emotions that need to be managed during this most challenging moment in many peoples lives??? i mean not just the Bride, but parents, in laws, the groom etc. Your day really treads where no Bridal book i have read to date has gone.It is so current con temporary and so practical. You must get this and read from cover to cover. It will put so much of what you are thinking,saying, feeling and doing into perspective. hands up and kudos to the writers. LOVE it!
