Excellent wedding gift! October 2, 2002
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I was very pleased when I received this book. More so than I expected to be after reading some of the other reviews. The idea I was going for was to have a record book to cover the couple's entire life together and not be limited to just the wedding as so many books are. Those always get put away. Very tasteful decor throughout, without a lot of stuff you don't need, with room for a few pictures in each section, and envelopes for mementos, I think this will be a keepsake the couple I chose it for will cherish throughout their life. I also bought "The Book of Us" to include in the gift, as I thought it would be an excellent companion. Add a pen, some coffee mugs, and maybe some designer coffee ... and VOILA!!! Excellent, unique wedding gift!
 Only so-so, try to see it in person first... July 31, 2002
I'm giving this journal/album 3 stars because it's a great idea and the quality seems good, but I was disappointed enough with it to return it.
First, I'm a fan of the author/designer's other books, and I was absolutely shocked at how boring this book looks -- I expected some neat graphics or design but it's really just like every other generic bride's book out there. If I'd seen the interior I'd have never even bothered.
Second, the "my wedding" section is not very useful -- there's not enough room for this to function as your wedding memory album, and if you *have* such an album, you don't need to bother with filling out the section in this book.
Finally, while the ideas for what kind of memories to record are nice, there are too many of them and honestly, do I need to write 3 lines about our house *every* year? How much can I say about one house? I would have preferred some blank space each year along with a new suggestion of things to write about.
There is very little photo space, and while I am fine with the idea of picking one or two best photos there ought to at least be one page per year for photos and memorabilia (you get 2 pages for every five years).
To sum up -- I think some people could love this, but to me it comes off like one of those fill-in-one-million-blanks baby books that no-one ever really fills out. I love the idea of recapping each year, but this book just isn't going to work for that.
 Absolutely wonderrful... August 28, 2001

This is going to become a staple gift that I give to loving couples and newlyweds. It was truly a trip through time for my husband and me to fill out. In fact, there isn't enough room to include some of our stories (especially in courtship). I feel that when our children read this someday they will read a love story. I thought there was plenty of room for photos given that you select a few speical ones to include. Plan on really spending the time to make this book special for years and generations to come.
Not Perfect Wedding Keepsake December 20, 2000

As you know it is difficult to find a good Keepsake Book for your Wedding or Anniversary out there. This hard-cover book will keep well in the years to come yet I was disappointed by the fact that there were only two pages for wedding photos. I guess I was hoping that this book would have a fat section for wedding day photos and keepsakes such as invitations and special cards received. Also the glue from the velcro "pocket" sections caused yucko grease stains on two parts of the book. Overall this book has all the major ingredients to make a fine journal and keepsake for all your marriage memories. I only hope I remember to write in it every year for the next 25 years!
