5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, informative, useful book, March 8, 2004

By	Jayme "jchristine26" (Plano, TX United States) - See all my reviews

I received this book after I got engaged from my mother who ordered it from a Christian book catalog on a lark. I am forever grateful she did! Out of the dozen or so wedding planning books I bought/ received this first chapter of this book was more enlightening and applicable to planning my wedding! Secondly, it is not a book about wedding planning--she starts there and quickly moves on to what matters: the marriage your entering into as a new bride. She touches on dealing with family, merging households, ideas, finances, plans, etc. There is a Christian edge, but not to the point where I think it would dissuade anyone of any other faith or no faith from reading it and gaining insight. It's well-written and practical and definitely the very best bride book you could bestow upon any bride.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Every Bride!!, February 11, 2003

By	Ann (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

This book if filled with information I wish my Mom would have told me. It's full of practical suggestions in many different aspects of married life, and funny life stories to make you laugh at along the way. It is definately a must for all soon-to-be brides; moreover, I recommend EVERY bride read it. I am 38 years old and found many practical suggestions, from moving locations, setting up house, budgeting and more. This will be a top gift I will be giving to many friends!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, July 31, 2003

By	Susan E. Keith "skeith591" (Fort Plain, NY United States) - See all my reviews

I haven't been to a wedding in over 15 years. So this book was
extremely helpful - who pays for what, the differences between two people, what to call the in-laws, how to save money.
Very insightful, very funny and practical. I bought one copy when my daughter got engaged and now am buying another one for
my son's fiancee. Well worth the price.
