About the Author

As a child, Rita Neri was always fascinated with ritual and propriety. A product of a diplomat's home. Her late father, Ambassador Felino Neri, was a much admired career diplomat. As a young adult pursuing her degree, this fascination turned into a passion as, nose into books, she became an avid student of history and culture. It was then that she developed an even keener appreciation for rituals and their role in flagging milestone in human civilization. These two factors-an appreciation for the value of rital and a commitment to detail-are what make Rita an indispensable resource for weddings. Rita Neri is President and co-owner of THE WEDDING STORE which opened in May 1994. She is a graduate of the private-all girl school the Assumption College with degrees in Bachelor of Arts (AB) and Bachelor of Education (BSE).

4.0 out of 5 stars American-Filipina wedding a success, October 13, 2000
By John Sweeney "hot dog" (Alvin, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For an American marrying a Filipina, I found Ms. Neri's book to be invaluable. It kept our wedding plans organized and on schedule.

Philippine weddings are different from American weddings, and are thoroughly explained.

The budget-breakdown chart helped us keep our expenses reasonable. We used the guide-for-the-Reception-M.C. This made our reception fun.

My then-fiancee thought we didn't need this book until after I bought it. Then, she learned that attending Philippine weddings did not prepare her to plan a Philippine wedding. We did not need the tables for entering data. After the wedding, two of my wife's friends bought the book. The book is well-written.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book!, September 15, 2000
By "maynee" (Bulacan Philippines) - See all my reviews
what's not to love? It's everything it says it is! Very helpful in getting brides-to-be organized. It tells you what to do, when to do it, and how to do it the Filipino way.

It has actual worksheets that you can fill up so you can keep in track of your schedules, vendors, budget... everything! Not to mention the fact that it comes hardbound and very sturdy which makes it the perfect souvenir for that pre-wedding period!

As i said.. I love this book. =)

By "maynee" (Bulacan Philippines) - See all my reviews
what's not to love? it has everything i need to know. It's very informative and systematic. If you're clueless about wedding arrangements, this book keeps you on track on what you need to do, when you need to do it, and how to do it the Filipino way.

It's a total wedding workbook with worksheets that you can fill up to keep track of your schedules, vendors, budgets.. everything!

besides all that, since its hardbound and very sturdy, its the perfect keepsake or souvenir during the pre-wedding period.

With a book like this, you can be your own wedding coordinator no matter how inexperieced you are.
