A hilarious account of the year Lucy Mangan got married (having always said she wouldn't). But now she has to find a caterer who doesn't charge a fortune for a cupcake, a dressmaker who doesn't make her cry and a way to bring Great Auntie Betty down from Dundee for the sixpence she is willing to spend - isn't it meant to be HER special day?

The Reluctant Bride: One Woman's Journey (Kicking and Screaming) Down the Aisle Reviews

  • Kirsty

    Not so much actually about planning a wedding but about Lucy Mangan's difficulties as she planned hers. I really like her writing style so I laughed out loud a few times.

  • Jenny Norris

    Good fun,light read which reminded me of my own wedding preparation angst - the details of which I had forgotten about until this reminded me. I too was a reluctant bride - not wanting all the 'show' so emphasised completely with the main character, Lucy, whose wedding threatened to snowball out of control. I loved her straight talking family from the north or England and her dad's over exaggerated stories of his childhood and early days with Lucy's mother. I was willing everything to be just right for her in the end.

  • Zen Cho

    Not a huge amount of critique of the horrific wedding industry, but a very fun, funny read, and rather touching as well.

  • Lorraine Wilson

    Pure comedic genius and refreshingly quirky. I definitely recommend it!

  • Janice

    Funny bits throughout. Characters likeable. Good little read

  • J.F. Duncan

    Highly enjoyable with some laugh out loud moments.

    I wish I had enjoyed this book more! I just could not really jell with the characters in the book. It was witty in some placed, but I didn't care for the style of writing and the direction of the book.

  • Karen

    I liked it but didn't love it and as it is Lucy Mangan I had expected to love it :-(

  • Jane

    Pure Mangan. So pleased to pick this up in a charity shop on hols. Weightier tome abandoned for this entertaining and welcome diversionary read.

  • Velda

    Compulsory reading for any prospective bride. Or mother of the bride. Or bridesmaid. Also, take tissues with you when you read it on the train. Crying with laughter draws attention.

  • Jeanette

    great story very funny
