I love books that come from a personal perspective, just like "A Countdown to aWedding" by Ms. Maslin.  Guides by 'experts' are helpful for sure.  But, there is something about a guide that is written, with the heart involved.  It's Ms. Maslin's personal experience, coupled with the emotional ties that go in to planning a wedding for a loved one, especially one's own child; these factors make a guide such as this one so appealing.If you are considering planning a wedding within the next twelve months, the tips and suggestions in this guide may save you time AND money...and in the end, may take off a ton of pressure for everyone.  This is the beginning for two people to start a new chapter in their lives, together.  The less stress beforehand, the better for all.There are checklists to help for the 'countdown' of 6-9 months prior, 3-6 months prior, 2 months, 1 month, 1-2 weeks and then of course...the big day. And what I really like is that all of the basics are covered and you can customize your own checklist based on your specific vision for the big day.  Just don't add too much...or you'll be back at square one.  ;-)This guide truly goes A to Z so I suggest you do a once over and bookmark the pages that you will need.  Some may need Baking suggestions whereas others may need Flower suggestions.  Some may seek Guest advice whereas other readers may seek advice about Music.  Definitely worth taking some time to sift through this guide and be sure to do it with those who are helping with the planning.  This way you can all utilize the advice and tips within instead of one person trying to explain what they read.  =)Great guide!  I recommend this book to those who want a fun, fabulous wedding withminimal stress and without breaking the bank!
