In this irreverent wedding guide, the star of Netflix’s “The Wedding Coach” and comedian Jamie Lee offers practical advice and hilarious insights on how to stay sane while planning your "big day."

Weddings. What was once a beautiful celebration of a couple coming together for a lifetime of happiness has become a bit ridiculous, complete with the whimsical monogrammed mason jars and unconventional photo shoots. The Epic task of creating that special event can be nightmarish—a dizzying maze of minutiae and seemingly endless choices that might tempt you to say yes to a quickie drive-through chapel in Vegas.

But weddings don’t have to be stressful. You don’t have to give in to the crazy—or give up completely. Famous funny gal Jamie Lee learned much more than she counted on pulling together her own wedding, and in Weddiculous she shares her first-hand experiences and hilarious hard-won insights with every girl who just said "yes."

Jamie gives you the real low-down, puts the madness into perspective, and walks you through the process step by step in a calm, realistic, and highly entertaining way. Weddiculous includes helpful checklists, timelines, and suggestions on everything from what questions to ask vendors to how to handle difficult bridesmaids to what’s worth the extra cost (and more importantly, what’s not). Throughout, Jamie provides guidance on when you should trust your gut and when you need to listen to others.

What Amy Sedaris has done for hospitality and crafting, Jamie Lee now does for weddings. Weddiculous will help remind you what’s really important about your wedding day: it’s just the first day in a long and happy marriage.

      Comedian and TV-personality Lee has, with co-author Novak, created a readable, charmingly offbeat, and helpful guide to the Big Day. Lee wanted to share what she'd learned from her own wedding, which was preceded by a truly awful year-and-a-half of planning, because, as she puts it, no one is actually equipped to plan a wedding. With her book divided in to-be-expected sections (Vendors, Ceremony, Hair & Makeup) with unexpected chapter titles ( Blending Families into a People Smoothie, Wedding Photography Is Fucking Weird ), Lee shares her personal stories and advice alongside corresponding tips from Big Bridal (websites like The Knot and traditional bridal magazines) to help readers suss out what's right for them. Having had a generous budget for her own affair, Lee notes where she wishes she'd spent less and which costs she considers essential. In libraries where wedding guides circulate, brides-to-be will be glad to slow down and laugh with Lee. In addressing the question, Is it okay to be scared about it all?, she comforts with, Marriage itself is The Shining: terrifying, but also a well-respected classic.
