It's a real inspiration and I'm about ready to start my own blog on wedding dresses, and my fiance and I can't wait to start out wedblog! It's a shame I don't know more people getting married (am I the last one?) or I'd be buying them all a copy. Rock on Ariel. Kepp updating the blog, I'm an RSS feed whore :o) Jennifer xxx Hey Ariel,

I have recommended it to several women. I am a recently ordained Minister, AND recently engaged. I am going to be using several ideas, AND have been using it as a resource and reference guide to a few couples that want me to marry them, since I kinda refuse to do a "traditional" wedding. So thanks. AND when I get some Mulah of my own, I will advertise on your site. :) Your book is awesome. I have recommended it to several women.

I was just giving you a little mention in our own weddings blog and happened to see you'd posted this.

Good luck with adsense, hope it works for you.

Interesting site – I'm a regular reader now even though we've been married nearly 10 years!

I found your website just as I was getting thoroughly frustrated by mainstream wedding publications, and it's been a lifesaver. I did end up purchasing the book (great read!) but I think you're wise to adapt your plans to your readership; I work in publishing myself, and I know we've got a few titles that have done much better as Google-ad-funded weblogs/resouce centers than as print books. It's a strange new world out there, and a lot of traditional book marketing techniques just aren't as effective as they used to be (think book tours and signings), while new media can take off in unexpected ways. Both your website and book are tremendous resouces; thank you for putting them out there! -Lexi Hi Ariel,

It only took about a week or so to arrive. Nevertheless, I hope you'll be able to promote the book more. I'm barely paving the way to marriage, but I wanted to buy your book to generate ideas, and since reading your blog, I've flipped over everything about what I thought a real wedding was. My hope is that when I'm planning my wedding, I can pick your book off my shelf and re-read it, feeling as if it was an old companion that I somehow lost touch with over the years.

I'm actually thinking of getting it for another friend who just got engaged because it's been so helpful. I love that you blog as well though because, though it all fits within the "Offbeat Bride" context, it's nice to have new content as well. I like the site so much that I would subscribe if need be. You are amazing, Ariel, and a real inspiration to brides (and grooms)! I own your book & LOVE it!
