Book review:: Laura Wolf's {Diary of a Mad Bride}

is a "will there be a wedding disaster or won't there?" classic. Amy vows that when she gets married, she'll be far more level-headed than her taffeta-obsessed engaged girlfriends. But when her boyfriend proposes, she finds she's just as bad as everyone else: "Marriages are made in heaven - but weddings are made in hell...What is it about getting married that can turn a sophisticated, level-headed woman into an obsessed wreck?" A great fast and funny farce- just don't use Amy as your role model...!

Book Review::Liz Young's {The Wedding Date}
with the movie of the same name by Liz Young (earlier versions are also called Asking For Trouble.) The film stars Debra Messing and Dermot Mulrooney alongside a cast of great British talent including the gorgeous Jeremy Sheffield and Jack Davenport plus recent Oscar Nominee Amy Adams. It comes in at a respectable 90 minutes which means that any puase-to-swoon moments are more than justified! (I know I have to have a moment or two for Jeremy!) Enjoy.

BOOK REVIEW::Carey Marx's {Marry Me}
When, at the start of 2005, comedian Carey Marx decided he was going to make it his goal to get married by the end of the Edinburgh Festival in August, his friends, not surprisingly, thought he was having a laugh.

Not to mention write his comedy show-"the show where you can laugh, applaud and marry the performer"- and a book about the whole experience! Marry Me explains all...

BOOK REVIEW::Francesca Segre's {Daughter of the Bride}

features Daniella, a financial reporter on Wall Street who, unlike many chick lit heroines, is actually good at her job. She's intelligent and articulate - no Bridget Jones style snafus for Daniella. But. She's single and she really doesn't want to be, so when her mother announces she's getting married, Daniella's not sure how she feels about it. Basically, she doesn't think it's right that her mother should be getting married before her.
Daniella's family lives in San Francisco and so she finds herself flying back and forth to help her mother choose a dress and a caterer and a florist, etc. Back in New York, Daniella dates various men, always looking for her idealistic IB (Imaginary Boyfriend).
