Weddiculous

An Unfiltered Guide to Being a Bride

Description

In this irreverent wedding guide, the star of Netflix’s “The
Wedding Coach
” and comedian Jamie Lee offers
practical advice and hilarious insights on how to stay sane while planning your
"big day."

Weddings. What was once a beautiful
celebration of a couple coming together for a lifetime of happiness has become
a bit ridiculous, complete with the whimsical monogrammed mason jars and
unconventional photo shoots. The Epic task of creating that special event can
be nightmarish—a dizzying maze of minutiae and seemingly endless choices that
might tempt you to say yes to a quickie drive-through chapel in Vegas.

But weddings don’t have to be stressful.
You don’t have to give in to the crazy—or give up completely. Famous funny gal
Jamie Lee learned much more than she counted on pulling together her own
wedding, and in Weddiculous she
shares her first-hand experiences and hilarious hard-won insights with every
girl who just said "yes."

Jamie gives you the real low-down, puts
the madness into perspective, and walks you through the process step by step in
a calm, realistic, and highly entertaining way. Weddiculous includes
helpful checklists, timelines, and suggestions on everything from what
questions to ask vendors to how to handle difficult bridesmaids to what’s worth
the extra cost (and more importantly, what’s not). Throughout, Jamie provides
guidance on when you should trust your gut and when you need to listen to
others.

What Amy Sedaris has done for hospitality
and crafting, Jamie Lee now does for weddings. Weddiculous will help remind you what’s
really important about your wedding day: it’s just the first day in a long and
happy marriage.

“The book is less must-do, more do-what-you-want, with advice about skipping the stress of color schemes and facing the fact that your big day will not be the best day ever—probably. Weddiculous is hardly the antithesis of the wedding world, though. It’s a helpful hand-up that reads like it’s been written by your funniest friend.” - The Phoenix New Times
