funny-funny-funny, and true!

How True!!! This honest and fun loving account of bridesmaiding made my fifth journey down the aisle (as a bridesmaid-not a bride!) more fun. Very validating. (the bartender at The Cowgirl Hall of Fame in NYC actually gave it to our bachelorette party!) I recommend it.

all brides and maids must read

This is a delightful, informative and fun book to read. The illlustrations are unique and you want to keep turning the pages to see more. Also, there is much good information to avoid the pitfalls of choices to be made, such as avoiding selecting dresses for bridesmaids that will cause them to hate the bride forever. Much practical advice a bride and bridesmaids can use no matter how big or small the wedding will be. Buy it and laugh along with it.

Thank you Mary Kay, for not only providing the perfect gift for my bridal party but for your warm hearted look at friendship and " one of life's most dubious distinctions ". My freinds and I laughed so hard we were in tears !!! I'm not sure which is more hilarious the wonderfully scripted text or the brilliant illustrations ...

Take a deep breath and walk...................

What a wonderful look at friendship with your 1st, 2nd or 10th best friend at one of the most stressful times in your relationship! Mary Kay will make you laugh and make you realize that you, your friend and your friendship will survive this test of time!

what great comic relief for a soon to be bridesmaid!

this book is great for anyone who has been, who is or who will be a bridesmaid- it humorously excuses all of the things we go through and makes us feel that we're not alone in thinking that a dress looks ridiculous, that we've spent way too much money or that we're wearing too much make-up! mary kay mcdermott gets it "right on" in her evaluations of how we feel- the illiustrations make it a great guide to relax and take everything we're going through with a grain of salt! (or rice...)
