The Conscious Bride by Sheryl Nissinen I loved this book. It insightfully explains the phychology of transition between being single and being married. It suggests real rituals for the bride and her fiancee, friends, and family to work through real emotions of this separation and change before the wedding. I especially enjoyed the discussion of engagement expectations and denial in Chapter 2 and grieving and the wedding day in Chapter 5.

Diary of a Mad Bride by Laura Wolf I cannot tell you how many times I laughed out loud reading this book! The protagonist is completely anti-wedding until she starts planning her own nuptials. Suddenly she becomes a nightmare bride, dealing with everything from altering her mother's "frontier" wedding gown to accepting her fiancee's top wedding band choice--the Argentenian windflute band that plays in the subway by his apartment and whose music he finds "relaxing". People are more concerned about what it means that she is or is not changing her name than what she's accomplishing at her job. A great, funny, stress-releiving read for brides and anyone who has to deal with their madness in the months and weeks before the wedding.
