I've leafed through all the gazillion books in the wedding section. This one is by far the best and most relevant if you want to handle any aspect of the planning yourself, from using an iPod instead of a DJ to printing your own invites to ordering liquor to arranging your own flowers. My wedding is 6 months away and I'd be stressing without this book!
