It Works! 5 out of 5 stars.

It's amazing, this book really does work. It worked for me, it worked for my sister... I recommend this to any woman who'd like to be married within a year of dating.

Good luck!

Changed my life! 5 out of 5 stars.

I was given this book as a present after a break up along with several other self help relationship books. They all said the same stuff. However, this one was different. VERY DIFFERENT. It actually infuriated me. I felt it was backwards, silly, and frustrating to the point that I shared my feelings with my therapist. Her reaction was if it got me going, I probably needed to read it again because it had struck a chord. I did, and it did. I googled Pat Allen and went to see her speak. I was amazed. She is brilliant, get's it, and can make us laugh at the things that seem like common sense when it's happening to other people. I'm so thankful for this gift, her gifts, and the lightbulb moment this book gave me!

Disappointing 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This was one of two planners I ordered and it was very disappointing. For one the binder is very flimsy and planning details involved are slim to none. Ultimately I only used this planner for overflow. This planner might work if you are having a very small wedding but it is not very helpful for any kind of detailed work. Trust me, you could do better. The best thing about this is the cute pink design, but you get over that real quick.

Editorial Review:

Use this appealing organizer to turn your wedding dreams into reality! With 108 pages of planning information, this indispensable volume features organizational necessities: essential information and places to record details about budget, parties, attire, invitations, wedding party, flowers and music, ceremony, reception, and honeymoon. Plastic folders within each of the nine category sections store and organize papers, receipts, estimates, and samples. The three-ring binder allows for popping pages in and out, or adding your own. The flexible, plastic cover is durable and light. Measures 10-1/2 wide x 11-1/2 high x 1-7/8 deep.

Some Good Advice, Mostly Hype 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

When my fiancee and I first started planning our wedding, we heard about this book and purchased a copy because of its popularity and mention in magazines and elsewhere. While there is some good advice, it's not the must-have some people say and it's heavily tied into the web site too, which is just more of a time drain. I think much of the material could be condensed into fewer pages and more focused advice. You won't regret buying it, but nor will it make your planning much easier IMO.

This is a good book. I love that there are activities at the end of each chapter to help you learn the material. The discs also come in handy for pronounciation. I bought this book for a medical terminology class. It was less expensive than buying it at the university's bookstore.

I like this book! 4 out of 5 stars.
