Better Off Wed Page 20

Heartfelt thanks to my mentor and friend, Noreen Wald, whose considerable skills helped shape a single paragraph idea into a book series. To the Saturday morning writing group—Barb, Tim, Mary, John, Jack, and Carolyn—thank you for your insight and ideas. I am grateful to the Rector Lane Irregulars—Carla, Donna, Ellen, Noreen, Peggy, Sandi, and Val—for their invaluable critique.

  To my fabulous friends in the wedding industry who have been a source of inspiration and have helped me stay sane over the years. A special thank you to Monte Durham, Ric Marino, and Andrea Webster for letting me borrow bits of you. Thank you to the hundreds of brides, both the delightful and the deranged, whose weddings have given me stories for countless books.

  All my love to my wonderful family: Juan Carlos, Emma, and Nicolas.
