Your Wedding Your Way
By Laura Ingram
This book is a good starting point for creative couples who are unsure of their style or what exactly they want in a wedding.

My favorite parts are the real life examples and good information in little colorful boxes throughout the book.

This book did not blow my mind with any new ideas or suggestions, it was pretty standard traditional wedding stuff.
Here Comes The Bride
By Jaclyn Geller
This was my summer reading last year. I don't think that I have ever been so drawn to something this infuriating. Everyone I know who picked up this book while I was reading it, was at first interested and then offended or horrified by this piece of literature.

This book takes a most interesting approach to marriage. It is an argument not without merit. The author suggests we get rid of marriage altogether. Which is a very interesting point and not the frustrating part of the book.

The annoyin gthing about this author is that she comes off VERY bitter and emotional. Her language and vocabularly is quite academic. Yet her points and arguments are often reductive and stereotypical instead of thought provoking or insightful.
The Conscious Bride
By Sheryl Nissinen
When I first purchased this book I was very excited. I was looking for that book that would address a lot of my confusion and hesitation about weddings and marriage. Instead I got a lot of very frustrating sexist suggestions. My favorite being that I can no longer take advice from my father because now "husband knows best."

Okay, perhaps that's a low blow because there are some interesting discussions begun in this book, it's just that it's only in the last chapter!

Perhaps I just live in a dream world and many intelligent women do wrangle with the issues in this book, I was just hoping for an extraordinary book to live up to the extraordinary title.
