About the author

Kiersten Hall is a 12-year speaker/presenter, 27-year comedienne-in-hiding, 30-year entrepreneur, 34-year salesperson, lifelong 'wanderlust.' In 2020, she will become an 'empty-nester' after 27 years of children in the house and is already planning her escape via several literary events, designed to keep her busy (and out of trouble.)

Notice the same number of years for both the in-house children and the comedic outlook on life. Coincidence?

To date, Kiersten has four published books with another five 'in the works' for 2020/21. Much like her varied interests, she tends to write about whatever piques her curiosity, giving her the ability to share her stories with all ages, across several different genres.

As someone who is preparing for a wedding, this book was part hilarious and part anxiety-inducing in the most comical way! Hall's voice comes through and it reads as if I was at a comedy club, listening to her tell a bit about her time as a wedding videographer. The stories were concise and easy to understand, which made it a quick read to relieve any wedding planning anxiety or post-wedding regrets. No way you can feel bad about how your wedding went after reading some of these mishaps!

It was very entertaining. A quick read because of the large print, but almost every page was interesting. I'm sure Ms. Hall could have written more, after 15 years in the business, but she did a good job at writing about her topics, and had a variety of topics to expound on - everything from before the wedding to after. I would recommend it to anyone getting married or taking part in any wedding party. And I would really recommend it to anyone thinking of getting into the business.

"I DO" 15 YEARS OF TRUE STORIES FROM A WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER BY KIERSTEN HALL is over 200 pages of really what not to do when planning a wedding. Kiersten Hall has taken 15 years of her career and written this totally hilarious account of what happens before during and after the even best planned weddings . Everything from losing grandma to having the decorations on the tables catch on fire!
I have been married for almost 40 years and am NOT planning on getting hitched again but I enjoyed every page of this book. Married, single, planning to get married or not, "I DO " is the perfect book to relax with, read and laugh , or in some cases cry at 15 years of weddings that Kiersten Hall has videoed.

I received this book free from goodreads in exchange for an honest review.

First, I want to say that this is not a typical read for me. Although I find I usually enjoy books that tell true stories and give insight into people's worlds, I don't often pick them up. I decided to read this book when I spoke with the author on social media and thought I'd give it a shot. I'm always willing to support indie authors and love to help. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised when I started reading "I DO" 15 Years of True Stories from a Wedding Videographer.

This book is funny, witty, and full of surprising anecdotes, a definite page turner. Just when you think that people can't get any worse, you turn the page to find another humorous story about how insane brides and grooms can be. You cannot make this stuff up! I've been involved in a few weddings, mine included, and have only dealt with on bridezilla, I do not know how Kiersten dealt with these insane women and their ridiculous demands, inconsideration, and lack of basic human decency. But this book doesn't just talk about the bad or insane, it tells about the cute and funny things that make weddings fun and exciting for all who are involved. Definitely recommend reading, I absolutely recommend this fun, easy to read book.

Seriously this book is beyond hilarious but has some real honesty behind the process of getting married and what to do and NOT do! I love how there were examples and I couldn't stop laughing because some stories given where like " oh no she didn't" seriously you MUST READ!!! It's funny that these are all real people Lordy Help them ... LOVED THIS BOOK and learned so much at the same time!

Cute stories of wedding bloopers and good advice for those going through their own planning.

A great behind the scenes look at what can go right and go wrong with a wedding. I assumed there would be some funny stories told in this book, and there were, but oh my! I don't know how the author withstood all those years dealing with all the not so nice people. This is a great book to read if you're planning a wedding , just as a heads up for what can go wrong. For the most part the stories were funny and some were very sweet. I guess it shows it really takes all kinds to make the world go around. I do recommend "I Do" just to read how very different people/couples react act, ignore, disregard requests, and so on, and expect everything photographed to be perfect. The author must have the patience of a saint. All in all I looked forward to getting back to reading "I Do", and enjoyed it very much.

If you will ever have or be part of the planning of a wedding, you must read this book. Kiersten Hall writes a delightfully entertaining recount of the matrimonial ceremony from her unique perspective as a Wedding Videographer. With tales and insights that span the entire gamut of the wedding process from pre-event planning all the way through to the honeymoon and beyond, this book is bound to touch a familiar chord in all of us. There are countless tales that will touch your heart and make you laugh (and there is even a checklist for planning weddings in the back of the book). So, if you are planning a wedding, you've been through one, or you just want a little light read, this is an excellent book.

[Rhonda Gilliland · Rating 5 out of 5]

This should be in the horror section. A wedding from a videographer's point of view isn't for the faint of heart. This is when this profession was in its infancy and so many people wanted to go on the cheap only to regret their decision. It's a sorry sight when you have to have it in a contract to get a meal. A must read for how to video your wedding right.

The stories were not that interesting in fact I thought they were rather boring.

Sweet, funny, kind of awkward and great for anyone planning a wedding. It’s also a quick enjoyable read.
