What No One Tells the Bride

Rating:
Summary: A fun read
Review: A fun read, it'll be more useful to newlyweds that those with 'cold feet.' Fun, but about as fluffy as they come.

Summary: Great for every bride-to-be
Review: I bought this for myself at the recommendation of an email group of future and past brides. It helped me so much that I bought it as a gift for a friend. It is most especially helpful for those bride-to-be's who have been single and on their own for some time, and the changes they will go through as they go from single life to married life. It has some very good recommendations and points out many things about men and new husbands that you won't realize until you experience it for yourself. It also helps new brides to see things more from the man's perspective, and what's really happening with both of you as you try to adjust to such a big change in lifestyle. I would recommend it for anyone who's about to take the plunge. There's something in it for everyone and it covers a wide variety of topics.

Summary: I LOVED this book!
Review: I'm only a few months into my marriage, but have been feeling suffocated- even though we lived together for TWO YEARS prior to making it to the altar. I didn't expect to miss my single life so much and to go through an identity crisis. This book made me realize that my feelings are normal and that I'm not alone on an island. I love my husband dearly and have felt guilty for feeling so uneasy and this book has made me feel 100% better. I recommend this to new brides, anyone who relished single life prior to settling down, or anyone who was/is just plain nervous about being married. This book has affected my marriage for the better.

Summary: A waste.
Review: The title of this book is misleading.....I think this book is not only beneficial to the new bride (or future bride) but for anyone (man or woman) who is married, contemplating marriage, or dating.

It is written in a humorous and positive light, yet doesn't mince words. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READ

Summary: Very Helpful!
Review: This book reasured a lot of my fears. It made me feel like I wasnt alone and I wasnt crazy for a lot of the feelings I had about my relationship, engagment and marriage that I couldnt share with others. It overkills the "your not alone" theme in parts but overall a great book that will make you feel better about the things in your relationship that you are scared to talk to your family and friends about.

Summary: A waste.
Review: This book starts out with good intentions and then just dissolves into an excuse for the author to gloat and gush about her marriage. She uses other women's marital issues to discuss how good her own marriage is, complete negating the main idea behind the book and patronizing both the other contributors and the reader. I put it down halfway through; I couldn't stand to her about the saintly Duke one more time. A waste of money and a good idea.

Summary: You Mean I'm Not the Only One Feeling This Way?
Review: What No One Tells the Bride is simply a MUST HAVE for any woman on her way down the aisle or already hitched and pitched over the threshold. Funny, real and insightful, Stark paints the picture of what it is REALLY like behind the veil of matrimony. Based on her own experiences and interviews with a plethora of soon-to-be and newlywed brides and grooms, the book reveals those moments most women have that you would rather not share with your mother, you are wondering about sharing with your best friend, and you would never share with a stranger. The over all feeling while reading the book is RELIEF. You will exhale and say outloud: "You mean I'm not the only one who feels this way?" Before you go another day of feeling like you need a guidebook to navigate the waters of commitment and merging your life with someone else's, get this book! Snuggle up to your sweetie, but don't forget Stark.
