Lynda Wright (Lynda @checkmark-books.co.uk)

When I planned my own wedding, I made lots of notes and lists with tick boxes and space to write in as the plans proceeded. Over a period of time I copied the notes for friends who were getting married and one friend in particular urged me to develop them further and write a book. I wrote the information in a workbook style because it is the type of book I would like to have been able to use to plan my own wedding and I felt sure it would appeal to others. Planning a wedding can be a daunting prospect, but it has been my aim to cover all the decisions and steps that have to be taken along the way to ensure its success. I hope you find the book useful and recommend it to your friends. If you would like to e-mail me with your comments, I would be very pleased to hear from you. In the meantime, have lots of fun planning your wedding and very best wishes for your future happiness.
