This was a really good read for the new or soon-to-be bride. I read it just before my wedding and it kept me in a reasonable frame of mind, all the while giving me insight, thanks to the people the author polled, what might come about after the marriage ceremony.

What No One Tells the Bride is simply a MUST HAVE for any woman on her way down the aisle or already hitched and pitched over the threshold. Funny, real and insightful, Stark paints the picture of what it is REALLY like behind the veil of matrimony. Based on her own experiences and interviews with a plethora of soon-to-be and newlywed brides and grooms, the book reveals those moments most women have that you would rather not share with your mother, you are wondering about sharing with your best friend, and you would never share with a stranger. The over all feeling while reading the book is RELIEF. You will exhale and say outloud: "You mean I'm not the only one who feels this way?" Before you go another day of feeling like you need a guidebook to navigate the waters of commitment and merging your life with someone else's, get this book! Snuggle up to your sweetie, but don't forget Stark.

Good book with great advice but the writer's POV was just a little too old for me.
Very helpful book for those heading towards marriage, especially those "over 30" brides!
It's helpful from an emotional point of view, covers life issues of early marriage as well. Reassuring you're not the only one who lost their mind getting wed.
I read this book right before I got married 10 years ago & loved every minute of it!! I even bought a copy as a bridal shower gift.
