In 1997 we published A Bridal Blessing, which has sold more than 100,000 copies. From the first we have heard from many who said that as much as they admired the book, they wished we had not focused exclusively on the bride, but had blessed more widely, especially remembering the groom. We finally succumb, and here offer an inclusive celebration of a marriage. A blessing is defined as a wish, expressed in words, that stated good things occur. Welleran Poltarnees has become a master of the book-length blessing. His careful prose, his sense of essentials, and his ability to find the right picture to give the words additional power make volumes that are perfect gifts for special friends and important occasions.

Unenthused by a white wedding gown and bored by the hoopla of the Hollywood-style reception, Ariel Meadow Stallings found herself absolutely exhausted with the nuances of traditional nuptials. So, she chose to take a walk off the beaten aisle and embrace the non-traditional bride within. Through trial and error, Ariel and her fiancee managed to crank out a budget wedding with all-night dancing, guests toasting champagne in mismatched mugs, gorgeous gardens, no monogrammed napkins, no garter, no bridesmaids, and lots of lesbians. Shortly after her 2004 matrimony, Ariel began searching for other brides whose ceremonies defied age-old tradition and reflected who they are. From there, she developed the idea for a guide for the offbeat couple. Offbeat Bride serves as an inspiration for those who are interested in a vegan buffet, avoiding bouquet tossing, doing away with the elitist guest list and being a control freak without becoming a Bridezilla. Filled with sidebars, tips, tricks and planner encouragement (all taffeta-free) to help you figure out your special day, this book sees couples through the wedding process from ideas on how to announce their engagement to answering the question, So, how's married life? and everything in between.
