Customer Reviews

Beautiful, informative, useful book

I received this book after I got engaged from my mother who ordered it from a Christian book catalog on a lark. I am forever grateful she did! Out of the dozen or so wedding planning books I bought/ received this first chapter of this book was more enlightening and applicable to planning my wedding! Secondly, it is not a book about wedding planning--she starts there and quickly moves on to what matters: the marriage your entering into as a new bride. She touches on dealing with family, merging households, ideas, finances, plans, etc. There is a Christian edge, but not to the point where I think it would dissuade anyone of any other faith or no faith from reading it and gaining insight. It's well-written and practical and definitely the very best bride book you could bestow upon any bride.

Great Book

I haven't been to a wedding in over 15 years. So this book wasextremely helpful - who pays for what, the differences between two people, what to call the in-laws, how to save money. Very insightful, very funny and practical. I bought one copy when my daughter got engaged and now am buying another one formy son's fiancee. Well worth the price.

For Every Bride!!

This book if filled with information I wish my Mom would have told me. It's full of practical suggestions in many different aspects of married life, and funny life stories to make you laugh at along the way. It is definately a must for all soon-to-be brides; moreover, I recommend EVERY bride read it. I am 38 years old and found many practical suggestions, from moving locations, setting up house, budgeting and more. This will be a top gift I will be giving to many friends!

Three things a new bride needs!

Two things every bride and groom needs---... Ellie Kay's new book: The New Bride Guide.If, as a bride and groom, you can only buy ONE book, make it Ellie's! She covers everything from the church to the in-laws, sex to window decor, recipes to coupons. She has covered all the basics in a book I would have given my honeymoon suite to have owned all those gazillion years ago when I was saying my "I do." Ellie Kay is a respected author, speaker, wife, mother, and friend ...and when I saw this book was coming out, knowing I have a daughter about to take the plunge and promise "till death do us part," I KNEW I had to have this book for her.If you are about to get married, just got married, or know someone who is, THIS BOOK will be a better gift than the blender or pot holders registered at Target. Trust me. ;o)

Thank you Ellie Kay!!!

This is exactly the book I needed. I received it as a shower gift from a dear friend. It is written as if the author was sitting in my living room, telling stories (some are very funny), and giving just the right amount of advice. There is so much to think about when getting married and everyone seems to have an opinion. What I have here, with this book, is a new friend and companion who will nudge me in the right directions.Thank you Ellie Kay for putting together such a great book for someone like me.I'm going to buy all of your other books to see what else I can learn!
