If you're engaged and feel like a freak because you haven't been dreaming of pink chair covers and frou-frou cakes, then you might be an Offbeat Bride.
How do you know if you're an offbeat bride?
- Are you more interested in having your wedding reflect who you already are instead of becoming a princess for a day?
- Are you excited about getting married, but not so sure about wearing white or needing a string quartet?
- Do you wonder if maybe your fiance would take your last name?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might be an Offbeat Bride, and you should head on over to offbeatbride.com
Here's what The Stranger had to say about Offbeat Bride
Offbeat Bride is the perfect book for engaged couples who are grappling with how to buck tradition, bypass the formidable Wedding Industry, and design their own weddings. For such couples, Offbeat Bride is more than a go-to guide; it is a godsend. (Or goddess-send. Or mystical-universal-life-force-connected-to-the-great-mother-earth-send.) Stallings walks her readers through every step of the wedding process, from "I am Woman, Hear Me Order Monogrammed Napkins: Is 'Feminist Wedding Planner' an Oxymoron?" through "Ceremony Without Sanctimony: Building Tradition from the Ground Up." She uses her own offbeat wedding to demonstrate step-by-step how to create a funky dream wedding without losing sight of personal values, sanity, happiness, or budget.
