From Publishers Weekly
Bookstore shelves brim with wedding guides, and while this one might not offer earth-shattering planning advice, it's got just about everything a future bride and groom need to prepare for the big day. Editor-in-chief Roney, along with the editors of The Knot magazine and TheKnot.com, share their extensive knowledge about weddings in this friendly, revised and updated volume. The book addresses the basics, the tiny details and the things that most young couples don't realize that they need to know-such as that it's better to put an even number of guests at each reception table, so that everyone has a partner for conversation. Among the chapters are tips to take couples from pre-engagement to post-honeymoon planning, snapshots and stories of real weddings and answers to wedding FAQs, as well as general advice. Hiring a black limo, for instance, the authors reveal, is 10% percent cheaper than hiring a white one, and wedding videos should be stored upright and away from electronic equipment. At first glance, this book's hundreds of pages might make the whole process seem even more overwhelming, but Roney offers a thorough, friendly one-stop guide.

Great resource for planning a wedding
This book is great! Of course it comes from the most trusted resource in wedding information, but that doesn't always mean something. It does in this case. I have been picking it up constantly since I got it in the mail. I was a little surprised the first time I picked it up because it is in black and white, but they really give you a ton of information that somehow isn't diminished by the lack of color. Anything that they describe usually has a drawing or diagram, or even a black and white photo. I have read a few other planning books and this one definitely takes the cake :). I would definitely recommend using this one as a resource, and I'll probably pass it on to my sister when she gets engaged.

Great book!
This book is very comprehensive, and helpful. I'm going to be a wedding consultant and this book (along with TheKnot.com) is a big help in organizing a wedding and all of the details from picking out the engagement ring to the honeymoon. There are pictures, diagrams, real-life stories, and helpful tips throughout. Highly recommended! (There is some bad language in it, but what can you expect from a secular book?)

Very Helpful
This was an extremely helpful book and it's not bulky. I definitely recommend it.
