Product Description
Just what every mother of the bride needs to help her deal with the emotional, logistical, and financial challenges of her daughter's big day!
What premarital advice should a mother give the daughter who knows more about sex and stock portfolios than she does? Can the groom's step-grandparents march down the aisle as part of the wedding procession? How can a cousin get ordained on the Internet to perform the ceremony? This witty, brass-tacks survival manual for the 21st-century mother of the bride provides sharp, sensible answers to these and myriad other questions.
Hilarious anecdotes and practical advice abound as the lifestyle editor for The Washingtonian shares wise counsel and helpful hints from a mom who's been there as well as chronicles some ill-fated nuptials (as a primer for what not to do). From deciphering the mysteries of wedding food to learning to understand florist-speak, from picking a suitable mother-of-the-bride outfit-without looking like a Red Hot Mama or, worse, your grandmother in lavender and lace-to keeping a sense of humor when some of what can go wrong does, this down-to-earth guide makes a perfect gift for every mother determined to give her daughter the wedding of her dreams.

Laugh out loud cute January 25, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
When our daughter made me a first-time MOB this Christmas, she presented me with this book. While I enjoy good humor, only the James Harriot books (All Creatures Great and Small etc) had actually made me laugh out loud. Many passages in this book have had me laughing so hard I have literally cried. In addition, our execution of the Mother-Daughter Pre-Nup has saved me from unmitigated grief with my daughter about the dinner entres (among other things) at the venue she and her fiance have chosen which features nouvelle northern Italian cuisine. We're talking date sauce over pork chops and lemon zested brussel sprouts and leg of lamb with garbanzo beans here folks.
Amid a great deal of humor Leslie Milk dispenses pithy nuggets of great advice. This book would be a welcome volume especially for MOBs who have or need a sense of humor. MOGs would enjoy it too.
Great Advice for a First Time M.O.B.! November 10, 2006
I loved this humorous, warm and loving book. It gave me insight to what I could expect, and it was always right on! The writing was sweet without being "sappy" and the advice was sage. If you are a Mother of the Bride, you will need this.
Wedding book for mom's of brides. March 9, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is the best! Leslie Milk is clever, funny and extremely informative. I not only learned more from this book than the more formal bridal book I purchased but had some good laughs too. She makes such sense and covers everything you need to know. Actually my daughter read it, my husband read it after hearing my many references to it, and I ended up ordering more copies to give as gifts. This is a must have book for mom's of brides and actually brides too.
Fantasic: For both mothers January 5, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I orginally bought this book for my mother (bride's mother) but it was just so cute and clever that I purchased it for the Groom's mother. For Brides: It imforms your mothers of their role without hurting their feelings. My mom read it in 2 days and she said she really connected with it and her role in my wedding. But in a nice, none confrontational way.
