The Father of the Bride: A Survival Guide: How to Keep Your Sanity and Wallet Intact - Paperback

The years raising a daughter before her engagement are just a warm-up to the main event - the pressure caldron called a wedding. Most fathers are not equipped to face the prospects of a wedding and fear the engagement period as an unbridled emotionally driven money fest.

The Father of the Bride: A Survival Guide is a father-centric roadmap and coaching tool on how to survive and actively participate in the wedding process. Based on collected and person experiences with a dash of humor added, a future FOTB will gain insight into:

• Roles the Father of the Bride is expected to fill
• Approaches on the all-important budgeting question
• Key items affecting wedding costs
• How to determine what is really important to your daughter on this day
• Strategies for defusing emotional emergencies
• Avoiding wedding planning fatigue and keeping things in perspective
• Where the Father of the Bride can make a difference

If all goes well (but prepare for something to go wrong), yours will be a great wedding and day of incredible memories for family and friends. Most importantly, the icing on the cake is getting the special thank you hug from your daughter as she parts from you to her new life.

The purpose of The Father of the Bride: A Survival Guide is quite simple... to get you through the wedding sanely with coaching and guidance.
