Everything Wedding


I'm always looking to save you time, money, and your sanity. Thus, I love passing along good deals! Borders Books is clearing out old copies of The Everything Wedding Book. They are in the clearance bins for $3.99. If you are looking for somewhere to start in all the planning, this book has lots of checklists, worksheets, and advice for every wedding related topic. Plus, it keeps things light hearted. Here's an excerpt from the the the preface (yes, some are sarcastic):

Top Ten Utterances of the Bride Who Didn't Consult This Book
  1. 'What do you mean I should have registered at a store? I registered to vote!'
  2. 'Thanks for coming to my shower. Sorry I can't invite you to my wedding. Great gift, though!'
  3. 'Gee, you know what? There's just no way to save money when you're planning a wedding.'
  4. 'Sure, I invited my ex and his whole family. We're all friends!'
  5. 'Why should I ask my fiance's parents what they want?'
  6. 'Wedding planners do the same thing that I could do...and I will do, after I'm done working eighty hours this week.'
  7. 'I'll just go ahead and bake my own wedding cake. I'll make it from brownie mix and just pile it all up like a big tower.'
  8. 'Even though my fiance has wild tastes and we're having a traditional wedding, I trust him to pick out his own tux.'
  9. 'Out honeymoon is going to be absolutely perfect, or it will mean that we made a big mistake getting married.'
  10. 'Adjusting to married life? Piece of cake!'
