geminigirlThe Mom has provided Amazongiftcertificateness for wedding planning books/info.
I'm hunting for something about Jewish weddings, and I'm not sure what else. But I do appreciate that the Mom has provided that.

Date: 2004-02-19 08:11 pm (UTC)First is by Anita Diamant. "The New Jewish Wedding, Revised" Looks at all sorts of traditions that you may or may not want to incorporate into your wedding.
The second is "Bridal Bargains: Secrets to Throwing a Fantastic Wedding on a Realistic Budget" by Fields and Fields. Filled with great ideas. I would mail you it, but its currently on loan to another friend.

Date: 2004-02-19 08:16 pm (UTC)I've got the most recent Bridal Bargains which has GREAT questions for interviewing vendors, etc and a couple of Martha Stewart: Weddings which are good for laughing at because things are SO over the top. However, there are some pretty cake and flower ideas in there...
Re:

Especially for the Martha Stewart stuff.

Date: 2004-02-19 09:06 pm (UTC)A couple of things that I found both useful and stress-inducing (at the same time even!) were the checklists and countdown to the date. IGNORE THE CHECKLISTS UNLESS YOU WANT TO GIVE YOURSELF CONTINUAL PANIC ATTACKS. I actually ripped the checklists out of a couple of magazines so I wouldn't have to look at them because I kept hyperventilating when I realized how much I hadn't done yet.
Although, now that I think about it, those might be on WeddingChannel.com. Yeah, I think it is WeddingChannel since that's where I go to update my wedding website and Macy*s registry.

Re:
Date: 2004-02-19 10:57 pm (UTC)Although I'd love to :) There's just something about being married by a Rabbi Elvis.....
Re:
Date: 2004-02-20 12:25 am (UTC)We could do the Rabbi Elvis thing and then come back and do it again with everyone....
Because I love the Rabbi Elvis idea.

Date: 2004-02-20 05:19 am (UTC)It's got neat ideas about different ways people have done their weddings, and it's hugely permissive when it comes to not filling in all the things Brides magazine says you need to have. One nice feature: she interviewed a lot of people after their weddings, and asked what they would've changed if they could have. It's a simple enough idea, but I didn't see any other book about wedding planning that did it.
It's also got good things about managing emotions around wedding issues. Did I mention that I loved and needed this book?
Re:
Date: 2004-02-20 05:53 am (UTC)Mom and I talked a bit about what I want...Cayne and I really need to sit down and talk about what we both want, too. Plus there are things that I'm just generally worried about cause I'm trying to plan a Jewish-ish wedding, with a non-Jewish person, which means things like Ketuba, and finding a rabbi worry me...
