Things I loved about this book:1. Kate Cohen did an amazing job of keeping the focus on what her wedding, and all weddings, are really about: marriage, commitment, and love. No matter what aspect of modern weddings she was exploring, she always kept the focus on the real meaning.2. The book made me feel encouraged about the state of marriage in our society, and about my own upcoming marriage.3. Cohen was willing to challenge herself and her assumptions. A few of the chapters read like an argument with herself (the chapter on the positives/negatives of cohabitation). She presented facts that countered her own points, which gave this book the advantage of allowing the reader to confront and challenge their own assumptions without being pretentious or confrontational about it.
