I live in very lame and about as non off-beat as you can get Springfield Illinois, and well I am planning to get married on Earth Day (april 22nd) 2008. Not a lot here to give me ideas for an alternative to a cookie-cutter wedding. I am young (just shy of 19) and overwhelmed even at these very beginning stages of planning, especially since what I want is anything but typical. I frequently browse the wedding section at our Barnes and Noble (since I work there) and yesterday I picked your book up on a whim (hey nothing else has worked yet, and the title seems to fit). I was flipping through it between ringing up customers, and wasn't done with it when it was time to close, so I bought it, just to check it out a bit more (because well if it didn't work out I could return it because there is nothing more depressing than 15 unused wedding books on your shelf so if it isn't right don't keep it); anyway I got home and much to my surprise and amazement i had it halfway read before bed. It felt like having a best friend by my side who had already been through the trouble and pain and knew all the best tricks. I love the personal anecdotes and the very helpful advice on just everything. I am happy to say that not only will I be keeping your book, but I will be buying it for everyone I know who is planning an offbeat wedding, because your book rocks my socks. Thanks for bringing wedding planning to a level of pure enjoyment for me. Julia Johnson Bride-to-be Illinois Hey Ariel, I just got your book yesterday, and I just love it.

By the way, one of my brides is up in Seattle and I just told her to go check out that designer from the last post and Girlie press as well. Go local Seattlites! PS. I'm considering putting together a "reccomended bridal reading list" for my packet. Your book will be on the top of the list. I love it!
