Taking the first step!

I loved this book and highly recommend listening to it before doing anything else! Thank you, Aleisha!

If you want to stress less over planning a wedding read this book

This book really helped me put the wedding planning process in perspective. It was hilarious in parts and so good I had to listen 3 times in the first 2 months of our engagement. By the time I finished the 3rd read,my heavy lifting of wedding planning was complete. If you listen to one planning book- choose this one!

Enjoyed very much

Very informative and honest while being lightheard with some humor. You may not agree with everything or a lot of things in the book, but I still think it's worth a listen in my opinion. Understanding another person's perspective on something is good and helps you look at things differently.

Cute story

Wedding day help
I enjoyed this guide. I thought it had lots of helpful little tid-bits.

not what I thought

its more of a stand up comedy vibe than how to plan a wedding information I thought it was

Funny Author

The author is hilarious, I was just expecting more planning info/details. this woman speaks truth and it is funny.

equally enjoyable and practical

the reader/author is a talented comic and her advice is approachable and sensible. I ripped through her book in just a few days and will be returning to some of the chapters as needed.

Meh!

Although I didn't finish this book, I don't think I'm missing much. The idea of this book was to give readers an idea of what to expect while wedding planning and how to handle the stress that comes with it. What I got from as much of this as I could bear was, listen to my podcast, blah blah blah bridechillas, blah blah blah back to podcast. IDK, it's just not for me. I did however get the planner and I find very helpful to keep organized. Also, idk if it's just me or the narration is just off. Sounds like she's trying to be funny or witty but it just comes off annoying.

A fun take on the nitty gritty of wedding planning

After finding the Bridechilla podcast I found myself loving Aleisha’s style of providing feedback and insight. I don’t often have the time to sit down and read anymore so when this audiobook was announced I knew I had to listen. Overall the book contains a lot of great insight, humor, and honesty in regards to planning a wedding and maintaining your “chilla.” As with any book or post in regards to wedding planning you have to personalize everything to your own wants and desires. Just because something in the book goes in the FIB doesn’t mean it has to for you! Take the book as the light hearted, slightly vulgar, and informative piece it is and apply what you need from it to your own wedding planning.

This book was received for free in exchange for feedback.

A fun and useful read!

I just wish I'd purchased this sooner. I would have saved myself a bit of trouble. But glad I read. Aleisha is such a fun writer and narrator, and this is truly chock full of useful information!

Lighthearted and good fun but with plenty of practical tips

I thoroughly enjoyed this guide to planning a stress free wedding…it made me laugh out loud at times, and was an easy listen - but still packed with sensible and useful nuggets to make every aspect of wedding planning less stressful and right for you.

Practical, fun, refreshing

Loved it. Practical advice, delivered in fun way - quite reassuring too! "Pop it in the f-it bucket..."

Simply fantastic!

This guide is so helpful. Packed full of advice about the right questions to ask and what to say to get the wedding that best reflects you and your future forever partner. Wonderful to listen to together with the podcast. I highly recommend it!

Refreshing and realistic wedding planning guide!

I loved listening to the book! Aleisha is down to earth and witty, and has a really refreshingly realistic take on the wedding industry and planning your wedding day. I love that she dedicated a whole chunk of her book to setting yourself up for a great marriage! I haven’t seen many other wedding industry companies do this. Her slightly cheeky and wry style make for an entertaining listen, but her advice is also spot-on, detailed and really helpful. I’d absolutely recommend this book to anyone engaged or considering getting married, ideally BEFORE you start planning your wedding so you can set yourself up for success from the beginning! Good luck chillas!
