Diary of Planning a Wedding in Edinburgh Saturday, October 20, 2007 The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Weddings I thought this little book was worth a mention - The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Weddings - a good little pressie to get someone who is going to get married. The book is full of solutions to all the typical problems that you may worry about, plus a whole load of things that probably didn't even cross your mind! Examples of worst case scenarios described in the book include: How to conceal wedding day blemishes How to survive if the wedding dress gets lost How to make emergency cufflinks How to survive if the flowers don't arrive How to treat a panic attack How to avoid a nervous breakdown before the wedding How to find the groom (!) How to deal with a drunk bridesmaid How to maintain composure during the ceremony (stop crying, laughing, hiccups etc!) How to deal with lost rings What to do if someone objects How to survive if the band doesn't show up How to survive a bad toast and so the list goes on and on... I better get reading!!

This is an excellent book to read if you are just starting to plan a wedding or in the middle of the wedding planning. The author of the book, Laura takes us through her experiences of planning her wedding on a tight budget. I devoured the book within 2 days and enjoyed Laura's account of her experiences and ups and downs while she tried to stick to a budget, shopped for her wedding dress, chose and decorated her own venue (the Town Hall), arranged the catering and more. The book even includes a breakdown of the average UK wedding costs. This is really helpful if you have absolutely no clue (like me) of how much things are going to cost. This isn't a dull wedding guide - it is an interesting and amusing account of someone's real life experience of planning a wedding. You can buy The Wedding Diaries from Amazon at a discounted price.
