This book offers a curious mix of extremely useful and pertinent advice for
anyone seeking to get married, mixed up with some very odd suggestions and sly
nods
For example, a list of Things You Need When About To Walk Down The Aisle:
1) Bride
Hmmmm.
It serves a useful purpose. The book makes it clear that whilst the majority
of the advice is sound, some sections are written more to entertain than to
inform.
For example, whilst How To Stop A Panic Attack (force yourself to take deep
breaths, stare at a fixed point in the room and so on) is very useful, Advice
For Extreme Weather Conditions (if cold, sit everyone closer together and use
small children as additional sources of heat!) is a lot less serious.
You'll get several hearty chuckles out of the book, mixed up with the
occasional knowing smile. Very occasionally, you'll go "Ah, I didn't know
that."
But there's enough chuckles to make you take another look at the problems of
putting on a wedding and be able to distance yourself from them for a second and
calm yourself down.
