At last! A wedding book that cuts out the sappiness and is practical, realistic and straightforward. For example, I thought I was weird to continue using the word boyfriend (instead of fiance)when referring to my intended. Early on in the book, Ms Claro validated my choice by stating that she prefers the use of boyfriend as well. Quite frankly, I felt as if Ms Claro was writing from out my head. Best of all, this book gave me the most useful gift of all - it made me LAUGH!Thank-you, Danielle Claro!
