Do You Know Your Groom? Book

This book presents Colin Cowie's recommendations for how to design and put on the production that he considers a wedding to be. I wasn't sold on the whole idea. In fact, there were a number of statements that I read that I just thought must be a joke. Cowie kept referring to "your wedding vision." Now, I'm all for a fun and meaningful wedding, but that idea that every detail must be designed and spent money on just strikes me as the marketing that women (largely, though some men too) buy into about how a wedding must be the best day of your life. Frankly, if I can't come up with other even better days across the course of the rest of my life I'm going to be pretty sad. There were some nice (and not expensive) ideas that I may take from, but every pictures in the book struck me as an overproduced wedding event that I would feel uncomfortable inviting people to, let alone paying for.
