The previous reviewer obviously hasn't read this book or they would know that it's highly relevant to US, and was written by an author who is in fact British, not Australian. And at almost 300 pages I wouldn't call it `brief' - any longer and I couldn't fit it in my handbag. Personally I found this book a fantastic help in organizing my wedding here in the US, but more importantly it's receiving great reviews in the US and the UK, and even The New York Times has sung its praises. I would really recommend it to any bride searching for a fun, stress-free approach to wedding planning and lots of clever cost saving tips.
Can I Have a SECOND Wedding?!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Wedding planning is, to say the least, HECTIC! There are so many different things to consider and, often, so many PEOPLE to consider when planning each an every detail of your wedding. Ms. Howe's book is an excellent step-by-step guide that will keep any bride-to-be calm and confident as she works toward "The Big Day". It has all the necessary checklists, reminds us of each detail that may otherwise be overlooked, and provides space for a bride (or her fiance) to write notes about her hopes and specifications for the perfect wedding. If you were just given an engagement ring, treat yourself to this excellent guide! :)

Don't plan your wedding without it!

Reading Jessica's new book was an absolute pleasure. Seldom does a how-to book make one feel whimsical, but this valuable kit proved humorous and uplifting even while providing confidence and assurance for tackling the multitude of tasks associated with wedding planning and production. The books is a thorough, organized, sequential, witty, knowledgeable, beautiful and Joyful how-to manual. I wish we'd had a copy when my daughter announced her engagement in 2006. Jam-packed with ideas and suggestions for every wedding, large or small, each planning phase or subject addressed in the book concludes with a checklist and space for note taking. I highly recommend The One Stop Wedding Kit for any bride. A fantastic congratulatory gift for all newly-engaged couples, or for mothers of the bride.
