Introduction
Did You Know That I Love You?
Well, I do! You see, after writing eight wedding-related books and
conducting countless wedding seminars, I have developed a real love
and compassion for all of you brides and grooms out there who are
trying to plan the most important day of your lives. Although I've
never met you personally, I feel as if I know you. I empathize with
you as you struggle with the decisions that must be made, from your
engagement ring to your reception theme to your honeymoon plans. I
know you have hundreds of questions and I hope you'll find the
answers here. God bless you as you plan. This book has been written
with my sincere love and best wishes that you will have the best
wedding ever.
YOUR FRIEND,
DIANE WARNER
