Going Bridal: How
to Get Married Without Losing Your Mind
Li Robbins
Synopsis: This
is NOT your ordinary bridal book. Then again, the bride who reads
this is not the ordinary bride. In this book you won't find out how
to choose a caterer or get organized. This is the answer to emotional
overload! Speaking of overload... what causes a seemingly normal,
well-adjusted, level-headed woman to become obsessed, frantic and
emotionally unstable after her boyfriend pops the question? She's
obviously gone bridal! "Going Bridal" is an actual syndrome,
coined by journalist Li Robbins, and now for the first time in her
book, "Going Bridal", Robbins amuses, inspires and explains
the condition while identifying the four major causes of it, which
include: family-induced going bridal, vendor-induced going bridal,
fiance (oh, yeah, whatshisname) induced going bridal and friend-induced
going bridal. Through humorous and illustrative collections of advice
and tips on ways to avoid and minimize the condition, Robbins shares
scenarios and experiences from women who have galloped down the bridal
path and lived to tell the tale. The book details how even the most
stable woman can easily fall from the "I'm so happy to be engaged"
moment into a full-blown "Going Bridal" mini-series. With
humour and compassion, the "Going Bridal" syndrome is put
into perspective, underscoring the importance of what's really significant
- the happiness that should surround a wedding. An alternative to
traditional wedding planners, etiquette guides and bridal magazines,
this wedding guidebook is useful for all brides who want to avoid
the emotional and psychological stress that inevitably comes with
planning one of the biggest days of their lives.

What No One Tells the Bride:
Surviving the Wedding, Sex After the Honeymoon, Second Thoughts, Wedding
Cake Freezer Burn, Becoming Your Mother...
Marg Stark
Review: This
book hit the spot! It was just what I needed as I struggled in the
first months of marriage. It was comforting to hear other bride's
experiences which validated that it is normal to have internal struggles,
unseen expectations, and an identity crisis as part of being a bride
who has gotten married later in life. This was like a light bulb being
turned on for me and my husband as we found out why marriage was more
difficult than we had anticipated. The author's candid sharing of
her personal journey was refreshing and humorous. I will be giving
this book to friends at their bridal showers. It's a must-read for
any bride who has developed her own life before trying to blend it
with the man of her dreams. I highly recommend it!
