It doesn’t hold up to me as much now, but I remember loving this one as a kid. I think there’s just something really exciting about weddings (and other similarly big life events) and planning them in childhood that made this book so fun at the time. It’s from the 2000s when Disney was doing all those weird direct-to-DVD sequels and thus relies heavily on the characters of the Cinderella 2 (a movie I liked at the time as well), so I did review that a bit as I read. It also has a bit of the not-like-other-girls flavor that was so popular at the time, which definitely resonated with young readers back them as it was in everything they consumed, but the theme I think stays relevant for young readers across generations is the need to be understood in what you care about. With that said, while it’s certainly not my favorite anymore, I think it will hold up with its intended audience.

I loved it because it was funny. And Cinderella's lady in waiting got stung by a bee, that's what made me laugh in my head. I think Piper and Marine and Katelyn would like this book.

Horrifying

I believe you could show people's beauty and elegance without having to compare them to people without beauty and elegance. Although it makes for a good story, Prudence was not a necessary character in the tale. They could have showed Cinderella's attributes without having to show the opposite of her class and grace. The illustrations are classic and beautiful but Cinderella always needs someone to defend her because she's a bit of a doormat even when she's a princess. Much the same as her original story, this trope has been overused.

This is a story about standing up for what you want when you are planning your wedding day. Not allowing others to get away with themselves when they are helping you plan, no matter how carried away they might become. Then there is not allowing anyone to tell you that it is "tradition" to do it one way when it is so out there that no matter what it does not represent who you are.

A good follow up to Cinderella.

An ok, one time book read. I do not like the way Prudence is depicted.

Somehow the Cinderella tale should be left where it ended - with the anticipation of a perfect life for Cinderella and her Prince. Do we have to have a follow up called "The Perfect Wedding"? What if it ends in "The Perfect Divorce"? Let's not go there with our daughters, shall we?

[Taylor Harnish]

A great read for those young girls, just like me, who wanted to know what happens next to Cinderella!

A childhood favourite and a must read for everyone !

So much diss on Disney but I don't give a damn because these picture books encouraged me to read at an early age. Jaq and Gusgus are one of my favorite characters.
