Seattle writer Ariel Meadow Stallings humorously recounts planning her 2004 “freakfest” wedding, and shares anecdotes and advice from dozens of nontraditional brides from across the United States. Presented in 47 quick chapters, ranging from “The Pressure and the Proposal” all the way to “A Rose by Any Other (Last) Name,” Offbeat Bride is filled with sanity-saving tips, advice, and stories to reassure even the most out-there, nontraditional bride that she’s downright normal. Offbeat Bride serves as an inspiration for those who are interested in a vegan buffet, avoiding bouquet tossing, doing away with the elitist guest list and being a control freak without becoming a Bridezilla. Filled with sidebars, tips, tricks and planner encouragement (all taffeta-free) to help you figure out your special day, this book sees couples through the wedding process from ideas on how to announce their engagement to answering the question, "So, how's married life?" and everything in between. 126446 22 12 2007 Offbeat Bride: Taffeta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides total:181|5:47|4:93|3:33|2:5|1:3| 181 719 247 67 5 2 false false Fri Sep 12 07:26:31 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 12 07:50:10 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 true false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 16 15:53:31 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 16 15:59:39 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 2 false false Fri Jun 27 06:30:11 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 06:37:33 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 12 09:14:26 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 12 09:16:40 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Jan 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 30 21:50:46 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 10 18:47:41 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Wed Jan 07 18:17:36 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 07 18:30:08 -0800 2009
