It's Spring, Brides are here

It's that time of year. And every Bride needs people around her to help her plan her most perfect wedding day. (I'm sure even Grace Kelly did.) There are things you might not know. For instance, should she really be shoveling that cake into his mouth like that? And how do you know who exactly to marry? and what to wear? And what if you're a ring bearer? or a paige? or a bridesmaid? How do you know how to do everything? Worry no more! Coming to bookstores near you on April 14th just in time for wedding season... and the Bridal Showers ... and everything else--the perfect absolute final definitive guide: (If you know someone getting married and you're a kind friend, you'll buy this book. And even if you don't, you should because it's always good to be prepared and knowledgeable.)(About everything, mostly.) More here.
