I wish I had this one when *I* got married!

"Never Have Red Wine Under the Chupah" is a no-nonsense, absolutely essential guide to everything a Jewish bride (or groom) needs to know and do before the wedding ceremony. From the selection of the caterer to the placement of the tables to the size of the dance floor, Gail Mendeles Hay uses both horror stories and successes to illustrate her many points. At the same time, the book is an enjoyable read, even for those of us who have already made our own mistakes on the way to the wedding canopy.As Ms. Hay points out throughout the book, while the primary focus is on weddings, many of the points are equally valid for other types of catered affairs such as a bar mitzvah. If you are planning an affair, or know someone who is, buy this book!...
