"This book is a gold mine for anyone planning a wedding. Read, learn, and be inspired to have the wedding of your dreams."-Sharon Elaine Lewis, Publisher and Executive Producer, Washington Weddings magazine and The Wedding Show on 106.7 FM"While the definition of etiquette remains 'doing the kindest thing for the greatest number of people', Diane Warner has done an outstanding job of modifying the standards of the past to meet the demands of today's contemporary bride. The guidelines offered in Diane Warner's Contemporary Guide to Wedding Etiquette are acceptable to etiquette purists, yet bring rules of the past into a contemporary setting. I recommend this book to brides looking for solutions to personal family situations, those who want to be 'different' yet remain within the standards of good taste and to all who want a contemporary guide to today's etiquette."-Doris M.
