Book Review

March 13th, 2006 @ 4:07 pm by Mrs. Butterfly

I’ve been reading a lot more books about bridal stuff lately. I mean, now that I can. Prior to being engaged, I would feel guilty and embarrassed to look through the bridal section of magazines, books, etc. God forbid some stranger looks upon me and thinks “Oh, that poor little girl - she wants so badly to get engaged… how sad.”

Not that it would happen. But I’m just paranoid.

Anyway, I bought 2 books over the weekend.

Chicken Soup for the Bride's Soul : Stories of Love, Laughter and Commitment to Last a Lifetime (Canfield, Jack)

I used to the Chicken soup series. Yes, it’s cheesy and corny, but oh my god, did they make me cry and laugh. However, this particular book was really disappointing. Aside from a few stories that made you go “awwww,” the rest of it was really bad. The stories are so generic, there is nothing special about them or the way that they are told… it was just very disappointing. I hate it when books are disappointing.

The other book I bought, which I have much higher expectations for…

The Engaged Groom : You're Getting Married. Read this Book.

If you guys remember, this was featured by Mrs. Bee, so I bought it for Mr. Butterfly. Of course, I’m going to read it first. I will write my opinions on it when I’m done.

Other books I browsed through, but couldnt bring myself to buy…

I Do! The Great Celebrity Weddings - From the editors of People magazine

Mr. Butterfly and I looked through it for tuxedo ideas, as well as veils and hair styles. Good book for pictures of what you want (example - I do not want to do a garter ceremony, especially after looking at Britney Spears and her garter ceremony pictures).

Not that I have anything against books of this kind… but do you really need a book to tell you what to register for? Hmmmm….

Anyway, stay tuned for more over the next few months (especially in the summer)!!
