Subtitled: A Survival Guide to the Everyone-I-Know-Is-Getting-Married Years
We've all dealt with it before...it's something we've all dreaded and muddled through in an attempt to show love and support to our best friends during their happy time of engagement parties and stress of planning a wedding. And, at one time or another, we have all been envious and maybe a little unsure of how to act without coming off as being totally calloused and envious of our friend's good fortune.
The Bridal Wave gives practical, light-hearted and down-to-earth advice. I'm positive I'm not the only woman that has ever had questions regarding correct etiquette and what all is appropriate for showers and presents and such. There's no longer a need to worry. The authors plainly tell you what is allowed and what isn't...ranging anywhere from what to wear to what time you should arrive for the ceremony. And wonderful 'believe it or knot' hints flow throughout the pages to keep you informed on the no-so-often mentioned side of the wedding planning and parties.
The Bridal Wave seeks to encourage women to enjoy whatever season of life they are in and offers guidance on how to live it up even if to some extent you wish that it were you. The pages are filled with hilarious and much-needed information that the women of today's society needs--especially during the bridal wave season!
Armchair Interviews says: Get prepared. The mailbox is starting to fill with invitations and you can hear the wedding bells ring in that season.
