Reviews / Votes

"If you're looking to plan a wedding that feels like yours and not your grandmother's, then you need this book. With warmth and humor, Christopher Shelley uses his years of experience as a celebrant to lay out everything you need to make your ceremony fun and memorable for everyone. Don't worry, Grandma will love it, too." -- Jennifer Wright, author of It Ended Badly: 13 of the Worst Break-Ups in History (happily married to Daniel Kibblesmith) "Christopher Shelley tells it all with the panache, wit, and experience of a professional, savvy celebrant. If you are about to get married, this book delivers the all-important information you need with clarity, humor, and supreme coolness. His keen advice, direction, and examples are sure to make a wedding day the best it could ever be-for both the couple getting married and their tribe of family and friends. Shelley is one of our most skilled, talented, and debonair certified Life Cycle Celebrants (R); he makes all his couples and their guests feel 'royal.'" -- Charlotte Eulette, International Director of the Celebrant Foundation & Institute "Shelley is the maestro of matrimony. He has been gifted with a divine power to imbue your wedding ceremony with off-the-chain joy. The kind of joy that starts your marriage off with a bang. Read this book. You'll learn at the feet of the master and have a ball doing it." -- Jen Spyra, staff writer at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert "I would love for Chris to be my celebrant. I say that despite the fact that I know it would probably just end up as more material for another hilarious book on weddings. After reading this book, if your questions still aren't answered about what goes down at a wedding, don't get married." -- Jordan Carlos, comedian and writer "A funny, practical, and romantic guide to why most weddings suck and why yours doesn't have to. My favorite work by a Shelley since Frankenstein-and ideally Chris would've sewn me and my wife into one person as well." -- Daniel Kibblesmith, author of Santa's Husband (happily married to Jennifer Wright)
