The author talks a lot about her own wedding, but she also has a lot of quotes from other alterna-brides. ( ) This is basically the story of Ariel Meadow Stallings' unconventional wedding (she's the creator of the Offbeat Bride website). There's a little bit of advice thrown in on how to handle family members who don't "get" your unconventional choices, or on how to involve friends and family in your wedding in ways that make it both more unique and less expensive. On the whole, though, this isn't really a how-to or a book filled with ideas you can copy for your wedding -- it's really just her story, and she tells it well. I laughed, I learned a few things (like that sawdust is good for covering waste when you're outdoors -- say, because your reception is in the middle of a forest -- because it absorbs all the smell), and all in all enjoyed reading about another bride's struggle with planning an incredibly important event in a way that was meaningful to her and her fiance. I might even say I was moderately inspired. :) A little too in love with its own offbeatness, and a bit shameless about exploiting one's friends and relatives in order to make the offbeat happen. Some interesting ideas; a lot of self-absorbed execution. I found it as off-putting as the sites that repeatedly remind you that the average wedding budget is nearly thirty thousand dollars.
"Unenthused by the prospect of a fluffy white gown and bored by the hoopla of traditional nuptials, Ariel Meadow Stallings chose the aisle less traveled for her wedding. In Offbeat Bride, Stallings recounts the hilarious highs and lows of her own wedding-planning process, along with advice from dozens of other nontraditional couples who also busted out of the wedding-industrial complex. Along the way, she provides insider tips for making the planning process as painless as possible, with extra guidance to help you avoid unnecessary costs and family drama. Newly revised to celebrate marriage equality and the joys and pains of modern technology, Offbeat Bride validates choosing 'authentic' over 'traditional,' and encourages designing your own distinctive celebration of partnership and love." -- Back cover.
