review 1: Drove thru Fowler recently and by "Becker Bridal" on a Sunday and it was like a ghost-town. Wanted to read this, so now seemed the time. True behind the scenes stories of running a business, the bridal industry, with most of the focus on the 3rd generation family member who is now running it.Interlaced with "one-of-each-kind" of story about brides, families, delayed bride, repeat bride, bride in accident . . the gamut of possibilities to fit into this book.But nothing is overdone or sensationalized. Very well written with excellent overview and enough details to be an easy interesting reading. Especially poignant, not so much for the brides, rather for the author. Nationally known, of several other major books - lived in Detroit area and was killed in a winter road accide... morent on a trip promoting the book in Western Michigan. He mentions the love and hopes he has for his daughters as they grow and marry and the love and anticipation he has for them and their happiness simply glows in his words. That he should lose is life so soon as this was written is truly tragic.
review 2: I'm a big Jeffrey Zaslow fan. I'm pretty sure I would have loved this book anyway, but since I read it shortly after Mr Zaslow's untimely death due to a car accident, I found it particularly touching. As I was reading the stories of mothers and daughters planning their weddings, I imagined Mr Zaslow's happy anticipation of walking his own daughters down the aisle. This book made me laugh and cry. Highly recommend it for brides to be and their moms or for anyone who enjoys feel good stories, especially if you enjoyed other Zaslow books. less
