There are probably better books available. But...

This chatty book takes one through 21 different aspects of the proposal and (mostly) the wedding.
I found the first 2 sections, about "The Proposal" and "The Ring" the most useful, because, as a man, I had no clue whatsoever about rings, and there were some good principles about the proposal.
The remaining sections talk about different aspects of the wedding, such as the Reception Hall, the Vows, the Music, and the Food and Drink, all of which I had a clue about. However, the book is far from opinion-less, and its opinions tend to cost you money, and any wanting to save is denounced using false similes - for example, not having an open bar at the wedding is compared to requiring your guests to pay for the food, and inviting people to the wedding and the evening but not the afternoon food results in "See if you can look at yourself in the mirror".
Overall, a moderately funny book, and gives some interesting talking points. Just don't confuse the author's views with the only way you can plan a wedding.

Useful resource but too chatty
|
|
This book contains some useful chapters and advice. Sections on the proposal and ring probably aren't relevant as those purchasing it are likely to already be engaged. While some points are useful I found that the use of primarily American slang and the informal, chatty nature of the book made me think of it as less serious to the point of putting me off reading it at times.
