The Couple's Wedding Survival Manual: How To Tie The Knot Without Coming Unraveled

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'RE ENGAGED! NOW WHAT?

Saying "yes" was the easy part -- now comes the first big challenge for every engaged couple (no, not who's in charge of the remote control). Planning your wedding together can be as much fun as the big day -- if you know how to negotiate your wishes and keep your sense of humor. Michael Perry, a happily married former groom, offers hip, helpful advice for navigating the land of weird wedding stuff you never knew existed, and gives you the best gift of all: the attitude to enjoy yourself and each other in the premarital months ahead -- and for a lifetime afterward!

Do you want a royal wedding or a backyard barbecue? A stay-at-home honeymoon or a Hawaiian getaway? Only the bride-and-groom-to-be can decide; The Couple's Wedding Survival Manual shows you how to:

Discuss guest lists and seating charts without breaking up

Deal with her mother, his Uncle Fred, and anyone with a two-bit opinion

Keep to your budget when bridal magazines say "spend, spend, spend!"

Delegate tasks to your maid of honor and best man (it's what they're there for)

Master the art of negotiation for a happy married life

...and much more. Like a best friend, The Couple's Wedding Survival Manual calms your jitters, keeps you smiling, and prepares you for wedded bliss!Imagine a wedding-planning book written by a guy--a '90s guy, a funny guy, a guy who's been through it all himself. Michael Perry points out (repeatedly) that what you need to be married is each other and a few bucks for a marriage license; the rest is gravy, even though to some it's pretty important gravy. From families to jewelry to making decisions together, Perry manages to dispense both wicked wit and good advice for those who, in spite of everything, really want to take that plunge. Perry on budget cutting: "Suddenly, the -a-bottle champagne looks just as good as the -a-bottle champagne. And do we really need a lion tamer and Yo-Yo Ma at the reception?" As a bonus, it's illustrated hilariously with stock photos from a previous era. For couples with a sense of humor, there's no better engagement gift than The Couple's Wedding Survival Manual.
