Summary

Jorie Green was a practical, level-headed graduate student when she got engaged to Barry Mark. But something happened once she had that sparkly ring on her finger: she went a little insane. Bride in Overdrive is a comic, quirky memoir of one bride-to-be's wedding planning adventures, by the popular Wedding-Channel.com columnist. While humorously exploring Jorie's obsessive concern over trivial wedding details, Bride in Overdrive also celebrates the excitement of one of the most important rites of passage in our culture, and the fears and joys that come to the surface as the big day approaches. The bride's adventures include: - The proposal and waiting for it - How to register without calling off the engagement - Life-altering decisions such as whether to order the invitations in cream, off-white, alabaster, or ivory - Succeeding on the 'slightly less painful than sawing yourself in half wedding dress diet' - Pondering how to tactfully request that Hollywood stand-ins be hired to replace eccentric members of the bridal party. It's a book that any bride who's given serious thought to what kind of underpants she should wear when she takes that march down the aisle will want to read at least once.
