SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE IF LILLY BETH DOESN'T CATCH THAT BOUQUET: THE OFFICIAL SOUTHERN LADIES' GUIDE TO...

Even if you?ve never attended a wedding in the South, you?ll find laughter in the pages of this deliciously entertaining slice of Southern life and love, complete with recipes, advice, and a huge dose of that famous charm

"In the Mississippi Delta, funerals bring out the best in people, while weddings, which are supposed to be happy occasions, bring out the worst." So say Gayden Metcalfe and Charlotte Hays, authors of the bestseller Being Dead Is No Excuse: The Official Southern Ladies? Guide to Hosting the Perfect Funeral, who turn their keen eyes and sharp wit from the end of the life cycle to the all-important midpoint. For anyone planning, participating in, or attending a wedding (Southern or not), this book will amuse, entertain, and provide advice for marital bliss, including:

--It?s OK to peek at an etiquette book, but if you rely too heavily on it, people will think that you are not fully acquainted with what is right and wrong.
--Anything that was not done in the past doesn?t need to be done now -- consider this before ordering a groom?s cake, especially one featuring a fishing-tackle or golfing theme.  more

Ok, but a bit disappointing

This book was just OK. I was really looking forward to reading it so maybe I expected too much. It was really slow in the middle - almost like the author was trying to stretch the material. On the other hand, some parts were really entertaining and all too true.

Fabulous

I thought I liked her book about funerals and I did, but this is even better. I would recommend it especially to southern girls and women who no longer live in the south. I look forward to sharing it with my daughter who is in Denver.

A good follow-up to their last book

The authors of Being Dead Is No Excuse are back for another rollicking good time recounting the foibles and frustration of the Delta. Like Being Dead, this friendly tome wields its wit like a Union saber, slicing through the niceties of southern living and getting to the heart of the matter. "A...

If I were Southern, this would be my wedding planner!

This book is hilarious, and yet, so true. Reading the tales of women who are truely southern, and will remind you of it every day of their lives, is hilarious. The wedding stories are great, and filled with practical advice to pull of the perfect southern wedding. I absolutely loved this book.

Great book

As funny as the book about funeral food. It helps to preserve a bit of Southern culture and charm, and has great recipes, that you can't find elsewhere. I like to give it as gift to people who share my Southern roots.

Hilarious!

This is truly a slice of Southern life, exposing our eccentricities, and showing our ability to laugh with others about them. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Not your typical wedding book . . .

I love this book! It captures the frantic activities of all involved with suchhumor that you hope one of your over-age daughters will soon be headed for the altar! It definitely lives up to the title.
