A friend, knowing that I am in the wedding industry sent me this book by Rebecca Mead, who recently appeared on Good Morning America to promote it.

After watching the interview and reading through the book I am left with one conclusion, Rebecca Mead doesn't have a romantic bone in her body, also she doesn't believe that the average bride can say NO. Like someone with an ax to grind she finds the bridezilla's and dwells on their me, me me based behavior and uses this to paint all brides as if they are all budget exploding, badly behaved lunatics who can't say no to any vendor who comes along.

She also seems to think that we all have photographic memories and can recall in intimate detail everything we have been involved with over our liftimes in her attack on photography and video production. The video and photosof my sister's wedding is one of the things I treasure most from that day, that I have received. Not to mention I hardly remember anything except crying with my sister.

Rebecca Mead has an ax to grind over weddings, finding the most debase examples of bad behavior and the inability to say no to support her points. My recommendation is save the money you would have spent on her book and buy a $50 savings bond for the future. Bonds
