Product Description

Witty, one-of-a-kind wedding book keeps the bride from going bonkers!

What causes a seemingly normal, well-adjusted woman to become obsessed and emotionally unstable after her boyfriend pops the question?

She's obviously gone bridal! Going Bridal is an actual syndrome, coined by journalist Li Robbins, who in these pages takes a sharp and witty look at what makes a bride go nuts and explains how to prevent emotional overload from spoiling the Big Day.

Filled with helpful, humorous stories from brides who have, regretfully, experienced Going Bridal firsthand as well as those who have narrowly escaped a memorable meltdown, this fun, chatty guide puts it all in perspective. Before it's too late, brides on the brink learn to identify and treat the four major causes of their condition, which include:

  • Family-induced freak-outs
  • Vendor-induced high-decibel venting
  • Fiancé (oh, yeah, whatshisname)-induced fits
  • Friend-induced frenzy

Forget the place settings and the perfect dress; this unique bridal guide focuses on the key ingredient for a successful wedding day--a sane and centered bride!

From the Back Cover

Why let the stress of wedding planning make you lose your sense of humor . . . or your mind?

When a typically savvy woman starts to feel like wedding planning is making her cuckoo, she’s obviously . . . Going Bridal! In these pages journalist Li Robbins, who coined the term, takes a wise and witty look at the emotional overload that surrounds wedding planning and suggests healthy ways to get from “Yes!” to “I do!”

Filled with helpful, humorous stories from women who have experienced Going Bridal firsthand, this fun, chatty survival guide puts it all in perspective. Brides will learn how to identify triggers, recognize the symptoms, and successfully treat this prewedding syndrome. Grooms will get a bride’s eye view of the pressures facing their betrothed.

Discover strategies other brides have used to keep their cool even when:

  • Your mother seems to think it’s her wedding
  • Your former friend from kindergarten just can’t understand why she’s not a bridesmaid
  • Aunt Esmeralda bluntly announces, “Never thought you’d marry him.”
  • Coworkers offer unsolicited advice on everything from your venue to your vows
  • Your caterer thinks vegetarian means chicken instead of beef
  • Your fiancé’s concept of wedding planning is repeating, “Whatever-you-want-is-fine-as-long-as-it-doesn’t-cost-over-five-hundred-dollars”

This unique bridal guide focuses on the real secret to a successful wedding day--a sane and centered bride. Learn how to manage your Going Bridal tendencies from brides who’ve galloped down the bridal path . . . and lived to tell the tale.

Love this book -- it's funny, but also has practical advice.So nice to read a book that's about the emotional side of wedding planning -- all the family and friends stuff that gets involved. The anecdotes from women who have gotten married are great for both their suggestions, and also for getting the whole wedding planning thing into perspective. Most of all though, Going Bridal is just a great read -- I recommend it to anyone who wants a good laugh and less stress in their life over wedding planning!

Are they kidding? 7 Feb 2006
By Not Bridezilla - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I couldn't even get 5 pages into this one. It's like a guide for how to bully the people around you into following your orders for your wedding. Brides aren't idiots, OK? Many of us do not expect the world to revolve around our one big day. Some of us even want to focus on the marriage, not just the wedding. If you need help preparing for your wedding and your marriage, get The Conscious Bride. It's much better, and not nearly as insulting.

Funny and Frank 11 July 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Stumbled on this book and found it so different from the other wedding books I've read -- in a good way. Read the other reviews and think Mr. Grumpy is just that. My fiance read parts of it and laughed out loud, and believe me, he's not usually into chick lit type stuff. It's pretty true to life and very entertaining. Only criticism is it isn't obvious right away that the beginning of chapters are fictional, but ended up liking those parts as much as the real life stories.

Very Funny -- Very Helpful 18 Feb 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is a terrific wedding book for brides and their friends who've encountered the "tentacles of the wedding industry" and are resisting its grip. Also brides who have any "tensions" with friends or family. I found it very funny, and very helpful. I'm in the midst of planning my wedding and some of the scenarios were so familiar -- it was reassuring in that "you're not alone way." (Plus stories about things I'm happy not to be going through!) Going Bridal has practical tips about very emotional situations, and is a truly fabulous, fun read.
