I bought it awhile ago and devoured it a short time. I read a lot (and I mean A LOT) of wedding related publications. This book is really one of the very best. I'm so sick of seeing all the same old - same old crap and Ariel's book is refreshing, funny and so original. I seriously wish I had just one tiny bit of her talent for writing. If you consider yourself just a wee bit offbeat, you need this book. Yes, you really should buy or borrow the book. I bought it awhile ago and devoured it a short time.

But the Offbeat Bride book is definitely at the top of my list if/when my boyfriend proposes!

I really appreciate the level of concern you have for the health of my readers, and wanted to let you know that I've received exactly one email about post-wedding blues. I responded personally to the depressed advice-seeker, who was already seeing a counselor to deal with the issues. As much as I like to think I'm able to help in little silly ways, I'm just a writer -- absolutely not a therapist or certified in any way to deal with issues as serious as depression.

Whether you like it or not, your 'promotional material' has given birth to a community of brides who feel that you might actually care about these issues. With that comes a certain responsibility to respond to calls for help about particularly serious issues such as depression ... whether it contributes to your profits or not.
