Running of the Bride - My Frenzied Quest to Tie Knot, Tear Up Dance Floor, Figure Out Why

Informationen zum Autor Rachel Eddey earned her MFA in nonfiction from The New School in 2005. While working in the public relations department of Tiffany & Co., she helped plan events for high-profile guests, including Susan Sarandon, Tony Bennett, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Kristen Bell, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Jeff Gordon, and Kristen Chenoweth. Her essays have appeared in the New York Times, Newsday, Chicago Tribune, Philadelphia Inquirer, St. Petersburg Times, and national magazines including Plenty, Tango, Grit, Wine Enthusiast, The Writer, and Whole Life Times. She is a featured blogger for the Jerusalem Post, which runs her Running of the Bride column. A senior writer / researcher at Columbia University, she lives with her husband in New York City. To his chagrin, she adores the color pink. Klappentext When Rachel's handsome studio exec boyfriend proposes on the Sex and the City movie set, she can't fathom the dizzying adventure ahead. Accepting a once-in-a-lifetime venue deal helps their budget but puts them on a crash course to get married in just four months-and time isn't their only challenge. They battle a wacky host of vendors, including a hair stylist who fakes a car accident and a makeup artist channeling Marilyn Manson, all while testing their love amid tastings and tulle. Using her nervous energy productively, Rachel enters every contest she can find, winning diamond earrings, a honeymoon, a photographer, and two wedding gowns. Her pop culture obsession lands the wedding party on two hit reality TV shows. There's just one problem as the clock ticks down: Her staunch perfectionism and fear of dancing threaten to derail everything. She has to redefine perfect and embrace the mistakes-or risk losing it all. Please take your seats. The wedding is about to begin. Zusammenfassung My frenzied quest to tie the knot! tear up the dance floor! and figure out why my 15 minutes of fame included commercial breaks.
