I think the book hits on a lot of great points that a lot of people do not think about till it's too late. It was a great and informational read that I think rookie parent wedding planners will find very valuable." Kirsten (CA) former wedding planner, now planning her own wedding "I enjoyed the 'down to earth' comparisons that connects the authors to the reader in a relatable way. I also thought these< stress reducers were the biggest take away for anyone in the thick of planning now. Great to have in one location."

No demands. No angst. Learn how they did it to ensure the Big Day would be special in every way possible! #2: Special Touches That Made This Wedding Extraordinary A special song written by mom and dad for the bride. Sung by a long-time family friend. The ceremony officiated by the bride's brother. The bride's birth family reunited for this celebration. Read what they did and how they did it! "EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! There's so much to like in this book. You covered everything and plenty of things I didn't even think about. The key words for our three stress-free weddings were flexibility and compromise - you guys clearly embrace them. As a parent, all we want is for our children to have great memories of that day and be a part of it. People just don't know what they don't know. Situations that can't be worked out could lead to a lifetime of problems. But you all wrote a book that can help people avoid those pitfalls. I really appreciated you writing in the first section that you don't need to read this like a novel, more like a guidebook. It is so good - it really held my attention."
