From Library Journal
The three authors of these two very different works about marriage serve also as narrators. Peggy Post, great-granddaughter-in-law of Emily Post, achieves the greatest narration success as she counsels listeners on modern wedding planning and etiquette in a well-modulated, pleasing tone. Topics included in this comprehensive guide range from engagement etiquette to choosing a wedding style to planning a honeymoon. Because Post believes that, when it comes to weddings, "excess does not always equal success," she provides many practical, money-saving tips throughout. The Brodys, husband and wife relationship counselors, share narration duties in their work about marriage at midlife. Swapping narrators every few minutes gives the work a choppy feel and causes an overall discontinuity in the narrative. The personal experiences of the authors and composites drawn from their counseling practice illustrate problems commonly experienced by middle-aged couples. In a rather haphazard fashion, the Brodys discuss marriage challenges such as children entering school, demanding careers, love affairs, and retirement. Multiple copies of Post's work would be welcome in most public libraries; the Brodys' program is an optional purchase.ABeth Farrell, Portage Cty. Dist. Lib., OH

Customer Reviews

A little disappointed
Even though this book has etiquette pointers, it doesn't have enough space to write down things. Sometimes you are directed to make a copy of a page so you will have enough pages. There is only two pockets to keep receipts, etc. Each section does have very detailed questions to ask vendors, photographers, etc. Instead of putting theses within the chapter, they should have been in an appendix so you can easily locate all the questions. My advice is to buy the Emily Post Wedding Etiquette book (which I did) and find another planner.

Wonderful resource
This book is simple and elegant - you can judge it by its cover. It takes the wedding planning process step-by-step, helping you decide each aspect of your wedding by offering the full range of choices, down to veil styles.

The vendor questions were extremely helpful, and due to the color and size of this book I did not feel silly taking it with me to appointments. It has adequate space to write but is more of a workbook style, with lists and notes throughout instead of all in one place.

I did not use this book all the way through my engagement because I needed more detailed, personalized information. It was excellent for planning. It was definitely our number one resource for etiquette and formality questions.

Brief and to the point
I used this book as a reference and kept all my reciepts, etc in a 3-ring binder. (No book will have everything.) Also, I could read the chapters in the 20+ minutes I had to devote to reading about them! The best part of this book was it didn't let you forget that you're throwing a party for everyone else to come and celebrate with you. I've been to so many weddings where folks sat with their chin in their hands and I felt this helped me give my guests a good time by focussing my spending on what really mattered- the ceremony for us, the reception for our guests. Folks responded so well to our party too- looking around, I saw NO chins in hand! Some great cost cutting tips too!
