Down The Aisle with Bridezilla was a delightful read! It made me be thankful that I am not a wedding planner. They really have their work cut out for them! The brides in this story were very bridezilla-ish. I don't know how Meagan and Sasha didn't loose their minds working with these women. It seemed like when it rained it poured!

I enjoyed the little romance with Brian. I would recommend this to any readers that like women's literature/chick lit. Down the Aisle with Bridezilla will entertain you

Down the Aisle With Bridezilla was a fun book to read. I normally read mysteries, so this book was different from my norm. Megan is a co owner in a wedding planning business, and is feeling the stress of the job. The other owner tends to give Megan the difficult clients and more work. The brides in the book are interesting, some are spoiled and ridiculous, but Megan is there to make their dream weddings come true.

I enjoyed this book, a good beach read. It involved a series of tales about different weddings which I did not expect. I would recommend this book for a light hearted read.

Megan is a wedding planner, specializing in young and trendy brides with lots of money. Unfortunately, especially since she is also in Malibu, this means that she comes in regular contact with the evilest of all creatures... a Bridezilla.

Bridezilla: noun - Definition: A tantrum-throwing monster of a bride, commonly spitting out insane demands or obscenities at a "roar" volume.

Not all brides are evil demonic creatures, but it seems that Megan has gotten more than her fair share. From a woman who changes her wedding plans on a daily basis - even changing the seating chart the day of - to a bride who gets hit by a wave when taking pictures in the ocean and then blames Megan because the dress got wet, Megan's job is not the glamorous fun business that some people would expect.

In the midst of running errands and planning the impossible, Megan meets someone who makes her smile and laugh... could a "happily-ever-after" exist for the woman who plans everyone else's big day?

I really enjoyed Down the Aisle with Bridezilla. Since I planned my own wedding, I can relate to some of the frustrations Megan had while dealing with the details the brides (and the brides' families) kept throwing at her. Her brides are over the top and mostly insane, but extremely fun to read about. Even the "sane" and tame brides still had their share of meltdowns as their wedding days approached, and I loved reading how Megan and her friends and coworkers dealt with the situations. The romance in the book was interesting but it took second place to the craziness of Megan's job... while there may be romance in this book, it is not your typical love story.

Five stars for a plot with ever twisted difficulties and demands, great characters, and an overall fun reading experience!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Down the Aisle with Bridezilla is a cute story about love, life and relationships. Megan Waters is a sucker for the fantasy life of television and can't help but cater to her overly demanding brides as a wedding planner at the company she co-owns called Happily Ever After. She's focused on everyone's happily ever after except the one that matters most, her own.
Megan deals with one bridezilla after another. While reading this novel I asked myself, are all woman that crazy or is there something about planning your own wedding that brings out the crazy and demanding side of women?! It's amazing how much self-control Megan has in front of her clients, despite that other than the fact that they're paying her to do her job, they really don't deserve her patience. Seriously, so much crazy! There were some hilarious and entertaining brides though, and my favorite was Olivia with her lavish, over-the-top wedding theme. Although it's her job, Megan needs to find her backbone and set some personal limitations and boundaries with her clients.
While away on business at a wedding convention, Megan meets a gorgeous guy named Brian and they immediately hit it off. Can Megan afford to let someone new into her already jam-packed busy life? Even someone that seems as perfect as Brian? Just because she doesn't act like a princess doesn't mean she doesn't want to be treated like one every now and then. Is he who she thinks he is or does he have a secret life that he's not telling her about? Will she be able to find true love and her own happy ending?
Good friends are there for you in times of joy and times of trouble. Megan has wonderful people in her life that are there for her every step of the way. It's was delightful to read about the friendships and interactions in her life. I loved that Megan was willing and excited to go on a tropical vacation by herself. Made me want to take a vacation to a tropical resort, and it especially put me in the mood for a deliciously cold piña colada on a pink sandy beach! 5 stars for this one. Loved the characters, relationships and situations throughout the novel and I will be on the lookout for anything else the author whips up!
Side note: There were quite a few grammatical errors and wrong words used, but it was an ARC, so hopefully the errors were fixed before the final edition was sold. Either way, I don't think it would distract from the overall enjoyment of the novel.

My Rating: 5/5 Stars

An ARC was provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Receiving novels free of charge in no way reflects on my honest opinion and no monetary compensation was provided for my review.
