Foreword

When we launched The Knot Web site in 1996, we just knew there were people out there like us--modern, smart, in-love couples looking for an up-to-date, stylish, and real-world approach to planning their weddings.  Within a year we had a huge online following of hundreds of thousands of to-be-weds from all over the country.  Word spread fast.  It seems that couples simply can't find anything out there that matches The Knot's tell-it-like-it-is advice, fresh ideas, practical etiquette, and stress-relieving sanity.  (Besides that, we are the only real resource out there for both the bride and groom.)

We're thrilled to be able to put in print the best of The Knot's opinions, exhaustive databases of information, and real people's experiences.  You simply can't beat the completeness and portability of a book--never mind the fact you can snuggle down into bed with it (together).

Before you dig in, take a look at the table of contents.  We've structured things in (sort of) chronological order.  But don't think you have to sit down and read this book from start to finish.  At the opening of each chapter you'll see what's covered.  Scan and look for the headlines that address your current issues.

Since we know planning a wedding can be kind of intimidating, we've tried to make this book as user-friendly as possible.  The sidebars offer easy nuggets of important info on saving money, resources, hot ideas, and more.  If you're overwhelmed and don't have the vaguest idea where to begin, check out the "To Do" list in Appendix A.  It tells you what to worry about when and tells you which chapters in this book will guide you through each to-do.

This is a working book, not a bible.  Feel free to mark things, tear out pages, dog-ear to your heart's content.  There's a fun and fact-filled resource section in the back of the book with phone numbers, resources, checklists, and worksheets.  Make it your own.

Finally, as far as we're concerned, there's only one thing that really matters: that you have the wedding you want, not a nervous breakdown.  Don't get too caught up in the details.  Your wedding will be mesmerizing--no matter how big or small the budget, no matter how much or how little time you can devote to making it happen.  So whether your wedding is an over-the-top 400-person formal religious affair or an intimate backyard barbeque after eloping, you're in the right place.  Read up.  Make decisions.  Trust your judgment.  Let go.  Enjoy.
