Prompted by their own wedding planning experiences, Toronto-based magazine writers Bilodeau and Cleveland give modern couples permission to ditch the traditions that don’t work and create the wedding of their dreams—within reason. Suggestions for creating a guest list and budgeting, as well as advice from real-life couples, help readers navigate tricky areas. Gender-neutral language and anecdotes that include same-sex marriages further the authors’ message that weddings belong to the participants and can be personalized to fit their needs.
VERDICT From engagement to happily-ever-after, this is a practical “you do you” primer, peppered with four-letter words.
