One positive view of this book:
As a recent convert to judaism I was trying to plan a jewish wedding that would encompass all truly jewish rituals and ceremonies, appease all in law etiquette requirements and at the same time encorporate some things I was familiar with while not offending any jewish sensibilities.

I returned mine:
In the interest of full disclosure, this review was written by someone who didn't finish reading this book - not only was it of no use, parts of it were silly or offensive and I couldn't get through it. It speaks directly to the woman at all times, and seems to encourage her to avail herself of every single wedding trapping known to today's brides. I'd have preferred it if the author stuck to the topic of Jewish ritual, and not assume I need advice on a diamond, or choosing a caterer.
Unique book---It looks at women in Reform as equals to some degree. However women in orthodoxy are on a higher plane--excused from many requirements---if you are in doubt about anything in the book-see your chabad rabbi--they know what to do. And you can have a disc jockey -
The worst book on Jewish wedding I've bought:
I am planning my Jewish wedding and wanted to make my decisions as informed as possible. This book did not help me at all: it is much more about old and outdated etiquette (all the gifts belong to bride; ex-partners should never be invited to your new wedding, etc.) than about how to plan a meaningful Jewish wedding. If what you are looking for is a set of rules, this might be a book for you; if you are looking for a source of information to help YOU TO MAKE DECISIONS, try other books on Jewish Weddings....... more info
