Well they would say that wouldn’t they!
I thought I had better grab myself a copy and put the claims to the test – not by getting married again, I don’t think the current Wife would approve, but by seeing how the advice stacks up against our own site. It’s not exactly a fair test, as they state themselves, this is a book – and a book can’t have dynamic content and vibrant forums for social interaction – on the other hand it is dangerous to soak in the bath with your laptop!
At 238 pages long you would be right to expect a lot of advice covering all aspects of planning and exercising your wedding – it does not disappoint.
It makes for an easy read, tinged with humour and serious warnings to ensure you don’t make any major mistakes in your planning. The book progresses through in the normal manner, money, roles, guest lists and so on through to the party at the end. It also steps back to take closer looks at the key areas such as flowers, food, photos etc
When the Bath Goes Cold
The book has a liberal sprinkling of links to websites that offer extended information or inspirational ideas so you can always fire up the laptop once the water has gone cold in your bath.
It has been written to appeal to both the US and UK markets and there are many cross references to the way it happens on the other side of the pond, you may find this an interesting aside – but it can easily be skipped if not.
The only real criticism of the book is that I was unable to find a single reference to WeddingChaos – how very dare they!
Seriously, if you like a book that you can hold in your hand and is made from paper then this is a great choice and one I can highly recommend.
