Final­ly the Bride: Find­ing Love After Walk­ing Down Every­one Else’s Aisle

From the woman who made a career out of being a pro­fes­sion­al brides­maid comes a refresh­ing­ly hon­est, touch­ing, and humor­ous mem­oir about find­ing love and final­ly becom­ing a bride her­self. After help­ing hun­dreds of strangers nav­i­gate their walk down the aisle, Jen Glantz thought she had seen it all — until it was her turn. When a psy­chic once told her she’d nev­er find love, Glantz set out to prove her wrong, embark­ing on four­teen first dates in one month. But find­ing love was just the begin­ning.

In this can­did and wit­ty account, Glantz takes read­ers through her uncon­ven­tion­al jour­ney from pro­fes­sion­al brides­maid to pan­dem­ic bride, learn­ing that some­times the per­fect wed­ding isn’t what you imag­ined at all. With sto­ries that will make you laugh, cry, and ques­tion every­thing you thought you knew about mod­ern love and mar­riage, Final­ly the Bride proves that there’s no right way to tie the knot — as long as you’re true to your­self. 

A must-read for any­one who’s ever felt pres­sure to have the per­fect wed­ding, strug­gled with rela­tion­ship expec­ta­tions, or sim­ply won­dered what real­ly hap­pens behind the scenes of all those pic­ture-per­fect celebrations.
