Planning & directing a wedding: Guidelines for a bride, mother, and director

My niece asked me to direct her wedding, which I have never done. Even though directing a wedding was high on my "wish to do one day list," I never thought I'd have the chance to do it. With this book it made it all possible. It made me think of things that I hadn't in a long time. The step by step directions gave us a very close to perfect wedding. People thought I had done this many times before. Thanks for the great book! I'll keep it for my daughter to use in 5-6 yrs.

Wedding Guidelines

I once purchased this book when I directed my first wedding, but could not locate it when my daughter started planning her wedding. It serves as a wonderful guideline whether you are planning or directing a wedding. It covers all aspects of planning and executing a wedding. The author is very knowledgeable and experienced. Obviously, I found it helpful, because I bought it twice.

Help for a first time wedding director

I have looked in several book stores for a book that would give me the guidance I felt I needed to tackle directing a wedding and found nothing. Finding "Planning and Directing a Wedding" has saved the day for me. It has answered almost all of my questions in a clear, easy to follow, organized way. I especially like the fact that it comes from the actual experiences of the author.

Fabulous book for directing a wedding

All the info you need for directing a wedding whether you are the bride, the mother, or the director. Although I had no prior experience, I was able to direct a wedding without a hitch. This book gives all the details of how the to conduct the ceremony: from the pace of the bridesmaids and groomsmen to the unity candle to the seating and un-seating of the mothers with all the timing down to the last detail. The only area it may be remiss in is the inclusion of step-parents, parent's girl/boyfriends. If you need help directing any wedding (yours or someone elses) this book is a must.
