Customer Reviews

Frontier dresses, children's tiara's, $400 shoes...OH MY!!!
Laura Wolf's 'DIARY OF A MAD BRIDE' catalogs the count down to Amy Thomas' big day and all of the craziness that ensues before hand. Beginning with Amy being a bridesmaid in one of her best friends wedding and swearing that if she ever got married she would not become a "bridezilla" as her friend had. The reader watches as Amy go from a level headed bride-to-be to an almost crazed "bridezilla" herself!

Wolf has written a hilarious account of how stressful planing a wedding can actually be. I laughed out loud numerous times and definitely recommend this book for anyone currently planning a wedding (surely you could use a laugh to de-stress a bit). Also, for all of you brides-to-be, this would make a great tag along gift for your loyal bridesmaids who've stuck with you throughout all the stages of planning and barely avoided any of your phone calls!

for any girl who dreams of the big day
i throughly enjoyed this book even though i'm not married and i'm not engaged you dont have to be any of this things to enjoy this book. you will laugh out loud at this book its that good! it goes through all the things you would woory about when your getting married and it's all from a girls point of view. absoloutly fantastic!

For any girl who's been told she's not the marrying type
Having just got engaged myself I felt as though I could totally relate to the central character in the book and her never ending plight to find the perfect wedding shoes and plan the perfect day (on a budget). From start to finish the book is hillarious from the dilemma over the maid of honour through to Bunny the invite printer. The author writes with such humour and honesty that the book is an absolute must for anyone about to get married and even more so for those who think they never will.
