For Brides & Professionals
By Peter Merry
If you could only choose three words to describe your dream reception... WHAT 3 WORDS would you choose? If one of your top choices was...FUN ...then this book was written just for you!
For years the bridal magazines, wedding planning books, and wedding focused television programs have explored every facet of wedding celebrations except for one...the FUN. Brides are being told to shop for “music” and then when their wedding reception arrives, they suddenly realize that what they really needed was talented and appropriate entertainment.
In this ground breaking book, Peter Merry will shine a light on the subject of creating fun and entertaining wedding receptions.
You will learn how to find the right vendors who know how to deliver unforgettably entertaining receptions. You will discover how to map out an agenda that will flow smoothly while encouraging guest involvement. You will also explore ideas for creating memorable moments that can be personalized to fit your style and unique sensibilities so your celebration can truly be... “THE BEST WEDDING RECEPTION...EVER!”

advice for prospective brides and grooms with the goal of reminding readers
about the one thing that is truly important during the wedding process…love!
It’s MY Wedding is a perfect gift for engaged couples, prospective brides,
their friends, family and members of the bridal party. Universal in its

girlfriend-to-girlfriend advice that they offered each other when they used
to trade war stories about their upcoming nuptials.
