About the Book

It’s MY Wedding! presents 101 hilarious, heartbreaking, theatrical, and sometimes unbelievable testimonials from real women (and a few men!) who have gone through the wedding planning process, from engagement to the big day. Following each anecdote, the authors present sane, human and helpful advice for prospective brides and grooms with the goal of reminding readers about the one thing that is truly important during the wedding process… love!

It’s MY Wedding! is a perfect gift for engaged couples, prospective brides, their friends, family and members of the bridal party. Universal in its appeal, the book is unique in the “how-to” wedding advice category. Instead of quizzes, planning tips and advice, budgeting secrets, wedding etiquette, wedding toasts or wedding vows, the authors present readers with the same straightforward, girlfriend-to-girlfriend stories and advice that they offered each other when they used to trade war stories about their upcoming nuptials. Nicknamed The Bathroom Book For Brides, the book is not only entertaining and insightful, but easy to pick up and put down– ideal during the often hectic wedding planning period!


The Fiancée: I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or be outright horrified by some of the stories in this book, but it was immensely helpful in putting my own wedding issues into perspective. The book has helped me prepare for a wedding that is undoubtedly about the friends and family that we love, but above all, about my husband and I! Jean and Corinne take us on a unique journey into real-life weddings where everything that can possibly go wrong does—intoxicated mother-in-laws, thoughtless bridesmaids, and collapsing wedding cakes. As a bride-to-be who is currently in the planning stages of my wedding, I found the stories to be both enlightening—understanding family dynamics, thinking through priorities—and also plenty instructive—planning for mishaps, damage control, setting the right expectations with guests and service providers, and learning to enjoy myself through everything! Best of all, for all the brides-to-be out there, this book shows that there is nothing wrong with making the wedding about YOU! Ladies, learn from this wisdom-packed book when planning for your wedding, and also laugh and enjoy the crazy stories that only make your potential wedding catastrophes look quite inconsequential.

The Wedding Planner: What a great book! I am giving as a gift to my clients (brides and grooms "to-be"). I read it and have seen similar heart-wrenching and hilarious stories. I see everything from the outside, in; I’m behind the scenes and everything that the brides and grooms say in this book happens all of the time. In addition, as a bride-to-be myself; getting married this year I can’t even begin to tell you the stories I already have. Imagine, I am wedding coordinator trying to coordinate her own wedding at the same time as 40+ others. When everything starts to get too stressful I pick up this book to read a few stories again and I don’t feel overwhelmed anymore.  Well done Jean and Corinne just LOVE this book! I will keep recommending it to every bride that walks through my door and if they become a client they will be given the book as a gift.
