Shara Grylls, wife of survivalist Bear Grylls, has put together a charming little collection of the wisdom shared with them on their wedding day. The book is made up of short quotes, sayings, and snippets of advice—some heartfelt, others humorous, and even a few contributed by well-known friends who joined their celebration. It’s a light and uplifting read, offering gentle reminders of what keeps a marriage thriving. Whether you’re newly married or decades in, it’s the kind of book you can dip back into for encouragement and a smile.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in return of an honest, unbiased review.

The best way to read this book is a page a day. Couples will find it hilarious.

Quick short read, however I did enjoy the humour and great advice. Great idea for a wedding, compiling quotes from your wedding guests!

I expected some actual text, not just a lot of quotes, aphorisms or short pieces of advice. It's not that the quotes were bad, more that this format would be more appropriate for a page-a-day calendar. Once I got past that, there were some good words of wisdom, even for people who have been married more than just a few years. (Or maybe I was just in a position to appreciate the humor!)

Quick read! Full of quotes on marriage. It would be a great idea to read through this periodically. The illustrations are cute and funny.

I'll admit I read this one mainly because I knew it was short(and free) and I'm already behind on my challenge. :P

It's a cute book filled with quotes on marriage. Although short, it was sweet and entertaining for a few minutes. :)

Great little book of quotes and sayings about marriage. I was also expecting more text but it's fine as it is, has some wise advice, good reminders and some quirky sayings. Would make a good wedding gift too.
