HILARIOUS. It's been a while since I read a book that made me laugh out loud (maybe the only other book so hilarious I can think of is Me Talk Pretty One Day) -- though I think this is more tailored to brides. (And a little bit to grooms.) Great engagement gift - thanks for loaning it, Lauren!

I am getting married in October so pretty much every chapter had something in it that I could relate to with regards to planning a wedding.

Very quick read. I preferred Dan Gets A Minivan, which is more grounded and less slapsticky.
