Klappentext "Take the stress out of wedding planning with this easy-to-follow, 12-month, pocket-sized guide that covers all the ins and outs of modern weddings. From the writer behind The New York Times article "How to Plan a Wedding" comes a portable while comprehensive guide to planning your dream wedding and minimizing stress. Whether you're eloping at city hall or throwing a no-expense-spared reception for 300 guests, this month-by-month guide will help you knock out to-dos and divvy up tasks so you can enjoy every minute of your engagement, wedding, and marriage. With a fresh, gender-neutral design and interactive elements like a couple's questionnaire, a wedding style quiz, and lines for jotting down notes, you'll want to bring this book with you to every venue visit (that's in month one), vendor appointment (month three), tasting (month four), and fitting (month ten). You can even bring it along for the ride to your bach party (plan that in month seven)-cheers! Terri guides you step-by-step leading up to the big day and beyond, encouraging you to choose the things you actually want, to skip those that don't matter, and to enjoy every moment along the way"-- Leseprobe Introduction Allow me to join your chorus of well-wishers and say, “Congratulations!” You’re getting married—actually, let me rephrase that—you’re having a wedding! The two are often said interchangeably, but let’s be real. You can of course get married and not have a wedding, but you’re here because you’re going for it. The whole enchilada. I started working in the wedding industry driven largely by a love of watching Say Yes to the Dress and fond memories of helping my eldest sister plan her wedding. In the years since, I’ve answered burning etiquette questions, attended bridal fashion shows, learned the difference between tea roses and garden roses, and coordinated a live streamed, crowd sourced real wedding that tens of thousands of people tuned in to witness. I have talked to hundreds of people about their weddings, found out just how much people in the wedding party spend, interviewed wedding-cake trendsetter Ron Ben-Israel, and toured Kleinfeld Bridal, all with a clear mission in mind: to dismantle dusty, impractical traditions and long-held assumptions about weddings. I’ve also written a guide to planning a wedding for the New York Times , and, yes, helped many friends and family members get married. Now, I’m going to give you the same advice that I give them. I can’t promise you that your planning process will be free of drama or stress, but I am going to help you make decisions, put everything into context, and remember why you’re doing this in the first place. Very few things are sacred and must be upheld for something to be considered a wedding (although food, drinks, and all the people you love in one place certainly don’t hurt). I’m not here to make assumptions about who you are or what matters to you, but I will remind you that a wedding is whatever you want it to be, and you might be shocked to learn how many things you can just say “nah” to. How to Use This Book I’ve laid out everything you need to do on a 12-month timeline, but you can condense or expand the timeline as needed depending on your pace. I’ve broken up important tasks so you’re never doing more than five per month (and there’s always one that’ll make you say, “YAY, this is happening!”). Regardless, think of the chapters as “chunks” that are arranged in an order that allows you to fill out the framework of a wedding from big (date! location!) at the start of the timeline to smaller (DIYs! tastings!...
