Instant Weddings Review

I ordered "Instant Weddings" off of ebay last week, and I got in Thursday night. I was very tired and I had work the next morning, but once I looked at the festive cover of a joyous bride and groom jumping out of the wedding cake, I just had to read it. I'd looked it over several times at Borders before I resolved to buy it on e-Bay. I'm very glad I did, considering I probably would have paid less for it in the stores...watch out for those shipping prices, kiddies.

Instant Weddings (from "Will you?" to "I Do!" in Four Months or Less) by Jennifer Shawne (2004; ISBN No. - 0-8118-3687-8) is definitely a book you should buy if you are planning a quickie wedding, elopement, or even just a wedding that needs to be planned in a short amount of time due to pressing matters (i.e Pregnancy, Deportation, Military Duty, etc.). The language is very no-nonsense, definitely catering to the brides and grooms who don't want all that frilly language that assumes that everyone who is getting married is having everything paid for by the parents (and I can tell you in my case that is not true!). Though it has advice for everyone who has four months to an entire year to plan a wedding, I would definitely recommend it for those who are pressed for time. I especially love her advice for those looking for a place to hold the wedding/reception without using the dreaded "w" word (because the minute a vendor hears the word "wedding" the price gets jacked up ten-fold), as well as tips on finding a dress (because you don't have to wear white), and other valuable advice. I intend to use this book for my wedding, because this info is valuable. So, go buy it already, will you! In fact, let me help you.




Come back here and tell me if you liked the book, okay?!
