Summary
"Brace yourself for a tumultuous emotional journey from elation to panic to doubt to elation to fear to insanity to elation." But don't panic. You're not alone, and you are normal. Guest lists, invitations, decorations, your mother, your future mother-in-law -- the list of serious stress inducers is long. The emotional roller coaster that comes with planning a wedding can be quite an unexpected (and unwelcome) twist to those dreamy wedding plans. With hilarious frankness, Ginger Kolbaba shares true stories from brides who have been there and lived to tell about it. She offers encouragement to expect (and gracefully accept) the unexpected and to overcome the pressures and stress of organizing your big day. Discover how to successfully plan, survive, and -- most importantly -- enjoy your wedding day. Book jacket.
