Do any of you know of any chick lit books that are about a character getting married or being a bride? I'm getting married this year and am looking for books like that to read. Thanks! :) |

Diary of a Mad Bride by Laura Wolf I just ordered this one and haven't read it yet but it looks really good. Here is the description. Once I was a sane, levelheaded professional woman. Then I said “yes.” Now I am the lunatic bride I always made fun of! |

Ditto Diary of a Mad Bride. I just checked my self, but I've already swapped it. You'll totally enjoy it, being a future bride, especially if you've sworn to all your friends you'll never, ever in a million years become a bride-zilla. |

I liked Who's Wedding Is It Anyway? but I can't remember who wrote it. I read it about 2 months ago. :) ETA :: It's a RDI book. Last Edited on: 3/3/08 6:20 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

I'll 2nd Shopaholic Ties the Knot!!! But you should really read the Shopaholic books that come before that one first. |

I'm not sure what genre its in but "Bride in Overdrive" by Jori Green Mark was hilarious and oh-so-true. I guess its sort of a chick-littish memior(?)
I have it on my shelf if you want to take a look at it. I really loved it!

There's also Daughter of the Bride - I don't remember who wrote it though. It's about a woman who's never been married whose mother annouces she's getting remarried. (in case that wasn't obvious from the title LOL) ;) |

When I was planning my wedding I read Altared, it is more short stories, than a novel, but it really made me feel like my wedding planning was quite sane! http://www.amazon.com/Altared-Bridezillas-Bewilderment-Breakups-Contemporary/dp/0307277631/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209066178&sr=8-1 is a link to it on Amazon. Altared: Bridezillas, Bewilderment, Big Love, Breakups, and What Women Really Think About Contemporary Weddings (Paperback) is the full title. I have given it to all of my engaged girlfriends! |

Jenny Colgan's Amanda's Wedding is another one. A bit more serious is A. Manette Ansay's Midnight Champagne. And I've not actually read this one, so I could be wrong, but I always presumed Emily Griffin's Something Blue was about a wedding. |

Sharon Naylor's, It's My Wedding Too
I loved this one, it's what happens when the mothers involved are the bridezillas instead of the bride. I have that one on my bookshelf.
And I have to go with the others, Shopaholic ties the Knot may be my fav wedding related book.

Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin is a good one! Something Blue is the sequel and it picks up right after Something Borrowed, so I won't say much about it :)
