Comedian Mary Schickling adds a lot of entertainment value to this comprehensive and nicely produced guide to planning (and surviving) a wedding. With the average cost of a wedding running somewhere between an arm and a leg, it pays to know what you're doing, and this program is an excellent guide to do's and don't's which will save viewers time, money, and quite possibly social embarrassment. Following real-life couple Jo and Carolyn through the stages of their wedding, the program covers: budget, organization, rings, the ceremony, the reception, bridal attire, tuxedos, catering, music, rentals, flowers, the cake, bridal registry, invitations, make-up tips, and photography. This is, hands down, the best "how-to" on weddings we've seen since Do Your Own Wedding (reviewed in the December, 1991 issue), plus this one's funnier. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice. (Available from most distributors.)
