I have bought magazines in the past and didn't really like them.
It's me that's getting married. I don't want a book on law, if I did, I wouldn't be marrying him!!!!
I just want one which helps with preparations. I've never done it before, so would like everything to be great.

Just based on your question, I would say you aren't ready. Eighteen is way to young. I know some people will disagree, but this isn't the 1960's or 1970's (our parent's generations) The way the world works now, you need to some sort of post-high school training. That could be an associates degree, a bachelor's degree (the most preferred), job training or other special skills. I don't believe you can be 18 (or 19, 20, 21), a full-time college student, who works (you need to work to pay the bills) and has a successful marriage and a commitment to another person's needs (emotionally, physically, sexually and spiritually) You might accomplish all that on the surface; but something, somewhere is going to suffer. It will probably be you and your happiness. Once your happiness goes, so does a lot of other stuff too (like your grades or your job) IMO, the 18 year old brain just isn't ready for that. In fact, new research proves that the human brain isn't fully development until the age of 24/25. So, the part of your brain that helps you rationalize situations and make good decisions is still a little cloudy. Also, remember his career in football is only as good as he is. If he gets hurt, that's the end of his career. Plus, I'm not sure how popular pro-football is in the DR. I went on vacation there once, it was very rural and poor. I know there are many vacation spots and more rich areas; but, overall I don't see his career being so lucrative over there. Also, you should never feel like your parents are going to disapprove of your marriage. If you are 18 and you feel like they're going to flip out, then that's a huge red flag. There is NO way, I would allow my 18 year old to get married. I'm all for love and marriage, but after you've established your own life. After you've received your degree (or job training), after you've been hired at a real job (being paid a salary w/ benefits) and after you seem mature enough to realize that marriage takes a lot more than love.

A good book to check is the bible,otherwise go to the library to check out magazines. The best way to plan out the wedding of your dreams....is to sit down with your spouse and talk about what you want in a wedding and marriage. This prepares you for your future of decision making. Give and take from both aspects and you, my friend, will have the best wedding ever. All the rest is a "show". No one actually pays attention to all the other stuff. Make it personal and people will remember it. P.S. It saves you from being financially ruined also. Learn now how to work together...you won't regret it!

I have found that the internet has helped me more than books. I'm getting married in May 2007 and only descent book was one from Marks and Spencer and it only told me about whose supposed to buy what and who says what in the speeches, I found the same info on the net for free. Try confetti.com. this has links to different sites all to do with weddings. Pick a category and search.
Good luck. and if you want any specific advise then chuck me an email, I've got 5 months to go and everything already sorted.

I'm getting married soon too! A really good website is http://www.confetti.co.uk/ Also, I subscribe to Wedding Magasine. Subscriptions are cheaper the nbuying in shops and they send a free gift. I had loads of toni & guy stuff worth £27. the mags are good for giving ideas and reading the real-life wedding sections are really good for tips. Enjoy planning your wedding!

Are you buying a book for yourself or some one else? If I am going to get married soon I'd buy a book on family law,just in case things don't work out later

When I was preparing for my wedding, I subscribed to every wedidng magazine available, I devoured every bookstore for helpful books. Spent lots of money but gained very little. Fortunately, I came across www.blissweddings.com... a very helpful site for your wedding needs. I downloaded its planner and voila, wedding planning wasn't so much difficult then!

You don't need books. Decide what you want out of your wedding, if you are strapped for cash, enlist help from family, friends for reception. Weddings don't have to cost a fortune, who are you getting married for, yourselves, or family & friends?
It may be your most important day, but the food & entertainment are not as important as your feelings for one another!

The best advice is to speak to other people who have been married. Life experience is the only teacher. Perhaps a new question seeking marriage advice will further help.
Best wishes on your marriage. May God bless you!
