99 Things Brides Wish They Knew Before Planning Their Wedding $14.8 It’s no wonder I love weddings so much, and no accident that I became a wedding and event designer. I grew up surrounded by it. My father was aBaptist minister, so he officiated many weddings. Mother was a caterer, so she would bake the cake, make the punch and mints, and open a can of nuts. I don’t remember many funny things from those weddings, although I am sure there were many things that went awry. I recall that they were all very sweet and intimate. It didn’t matter that there were just a few people in attendance; that made it more endearing. I miss those simple weddings where they promised to have and to hold until death would them part. More of those folks remained married than those who are getting married today. Was it the simplicity of the time, or was it that they had been taught the meaning of commitment? That was in the late 1950s and early 1960s. In the twenty-first century, we think we must have a wedding that costs thousands of dollars. The truth is that it doesn’t matter if you have an elaborate wedding or a simple one-the end result is the same. You are married 99 THINGS BRIDES WISH THEY KNEW BEFORE PLANNING THEIR WEDDING is a simple, easy-to-read pocket coach that will help the couple understand what really matters on your wedding day. Rich or poor has nothing to do with a "memorable" wedding; what you do with that day does. |

To achieve this the book is constructed to deliver- * Clear descriptions of the various techniques and the reason for their importance * A hugely powerful step by step approach to using the key techniques to build strategic skills * Templates for building real plans * Cases, examples and vignettes to show best real world practice Based on wide application in the business world, and the world class research at Cranfield Management School this book will be an essential introduction to the principles and reality of Strategic Key Account Planning. For senior managers, key account managers at all levels as well as those on executive and MBA courses it will be an essential guide and text. * As author of the hugely successful Marketing Plans (now in it’s 6th edition) McDonald has proved himself one of the world’s leading business authors- working here with Professor Lynette Ryals they have produced the authoritative guide to this crucial area of business to business marketing. * Carefully constructed step by step approach allows the reader to build strategic thinking, and highly developed templates allow real world planning. * The use of key cases and examples illustrate best practice in action and allow the authors to demonstrate the power of their strategic approach to drive profitability across all industry sectors. |

The Military Wedding $8.92 As a wedding consultant, who specializes in military weddings, I hear brides, who are trying to plan military weddings, lament about the lack of information available about military weddings. Brides are marrying later and are better educated. Even if they are hiring a wedding consultant to plan a military wedding, the brides still want to know as much as possible. Most wedding planning and etiquette books briefly address military weddings, but not to the satisfaction of most military brides. There are situations that face the bride or groom marrying a military person that a civilian couple doesn’t always have to face. In addition to embarking on a new journey as a married couple, the military wedding is the beginning of a whole new way of life and culture. A severe case of culture shock may manifest once the new military spouse arrives at the spouse’s duty location. Welcome to the brave new world of military jargon, acronyms, ID cards, wives’ clubs, customs and courtesies, personnel reassignments, deployments and on and on. Becoming a military spouse is also an exciting adventure–full of new and exotic places, as well as challenges that will test the foundation of your marriage. Or, it will strengthen your partnership as husband and wife, bound by the fondest memories of shared experiences, adventures and challenges conquered. It’s enough to make a strong person weak in the knees. It’s not a life for the faint of heart. So, this book, The Military Wedding, has been written to make the experience less harrowing and more enjoyable. This book is mainly written for the civilian bride marrying a military groom, but I will try not to overlook the civilian groom marrying a military woman andthe military bride and groom. A few paragraphs, as found in most books, won’t answer your questions. Consider this your military wedding planning manual or special operating instruction to supplement your main wedding planning guide. |
