Customer Reviews

Everyone needs a "Girlfriend" at a time like this

My man and I are planning our wedding and I am a wreck. This book made me laugh and think and get really excited. I recommend it to anyone that is planning a wedding, especially if you don't have a lot of friends who have planned weddings recently. Lara gives great advice and backs it up with ideas and antecdotes. A must read!

Feeling the wedding panic? This book will quiet the storm...

Just like the sage advice of your best friend, this book will help keep all the wedding nonsense in proper perspective. Of course there are decisions to make, but they don't have to keep you up at night. The Best Friend's Guide brings common sense and humor to even the most perplexing dilemmas. No need to fret with this grounded approach to planning the most important day of your life. As a former bride and lifetime member of the bridesmaid club, I can tell this was written from one who's been there and lived to tell about it.

Peace of mind with a bunch of giggles ...

I thought this book was wonderful! Lara Carrigan does a great job at making the reader laugh while offering extremely useful information. I have purchased several "how to plan a wedding" books and I am using this one almost exclusively! It is great! After I read a couple of pages, I feel a lot less stressed out - which is a good thing for a bride-to-be! I recommend it to anyone planning a wedding! (She has a great sense of humor also!) Lara Carrigan is a princess!

Thanks to this book, my fiancee is SANE!!

When my soon-to-be got this book, I yawned and prayed that the author had sane advice because I haven't had fun since I proposed. Before the book we were arguing about the dumbest things, like what color the organist's shirt should be for pictures! The organist could have been nude for all I cared.L.W. Carrigan's book drastically changed my fiancee's outlook that I was actually reading the book between football games! And it was really good stuff. I got a few chuckles out of it but of course I didn't tell you-know-who that I even lifted the book. I just said, "Geez, another book?" And she went on and on about how she just was so sorry for acting so stupid to me and our families. She said she was getting too nervous about the wrong things and that Lara's book put things into perspective for her. THANK YOU LARA...I'd like a shot at writing the rebuttal book -- "Hey Guys! Don't Forget to Attach Carrigan's Book to The Ring" with salutations to your awesome book. Now, I know my wife-to-be hasn't gone off the deep end thanks to your good vibe. Peace...

Very Funny, Really Informative

I received this book as a holiday gift -- I could not put it down. Practical information presented in a easy-to-read, funny way. Although I've yet to be married, I'm confident that the wedding...and the marriage will be glorious.
