Stay sane in a marriage-crazy world and survive wedding season with The Bridal Wave,
by Erin Torneo and Valerie Cabrera Krause.

It starts with the IGBN—“I’ve Got Big News” phone calls and a mailbox full of Save the Dates. Next comes the meltdown (I always thought I’d be married by now! Why does she have a ring on her finger and I don’t?) Soon after, you’re buying outrageously expensive china, dancing the electric slide with the groom’s dull but available cousin, and finding yourself in the wake of our wedding obsessed culture.

Welcome to the Bridal Wave.
