Martha Stuart's Excruciatingly Perfect Weddings





She's back -- with hundreds of impossible, uncomfortable and frequently physically painful ideas to turn a perfectly lovely wedding into a perfectly controlled disaster.

Observe from the safety of your living room as Martha demands, insists, berates, accuses, but, above all, controls everything and everyone in sight. This final (we promise) installment of the Martha Stuart parody trilogy confidently answers the question "Isn't everything sacred?" with a well-aimed kick to the shins!

By the authors of the perennial bestsellers Is Martha Stuart Living? and Martha Stuart's Better Than You at Entertaining.

In this, the third and final (?) installment of the Martha Stuart parody trilogy, authors Tom Connor and Jim Downey unleash their preppy doppelganger on weddings. The results are predictably hysterical, with the Stepford caterer dominating every aspect of a Connecticut nuptial. This from the "Wedding Planner" (subtitled "Things I Insist You Remember"):

Five Years Before: set season and weekend; Indenture Third World seamstresses; finish hybriding rose named after yourself...

One Year Before: Draft pre-nuptials; book me as caterer; if you have favorite foods or family recipes that you might want to incorporate, forget about them...

Six Months Before: Learn fiancé's name; try one last time for Beatles reunion; stop calling me...

As you can see from this passage, Connor and Downey have perfected the voice of their monstrous Martha. Every page yields good fun at the expense of the Octopus of Style, while pointing to the insane, expensive, neurotic process of getting married in this day and age. Even better are Barry O'Rourke's photos, which reproduce Martha's sumptuous books exactly. Put the writing and the photos together, and you have a well-executed parody. If the jokes aren't new by the third time around, that won't matter to the harried bride or the hopeless husband-to-be; if you've ever planned a wedding or are in the middle of nuptial hell right now, this book is perfect. "Today, there are a multitude of alternate throwables. Rock candy is particularly painful. Fava beans have a very unpredictable flight path. And kidney beans can be easily confused with a swarm of stinging bees..." --Michael Gerber

Caroline Eddington faces a difficult decision. On the eve of her daughter's wedding, Caroline admits that her marriage to Nick could be over. The timing couldn't be worse, yet with an empty nest looming their problems seem bigger than ever.

Still, something holds her back--something as simple as love. Remembering their own vows, their hope, Caroline knows Nick's been there through the good and the bad. But is that enough? Or have they grown so far apart, love alone can't bring them together again?
