SACRAMENTO, May 21, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- (WITH PACKAGE) There are few occasions in life more awe-inspiring than a wedding. Marriage to the right man is one of the most beautiful moments in a woman's life. But the road that leads to and from the wedding day is not always smooth. The reality is that post-wedding depression hits some 90 percent of women during their first year of marriage.
In her ground-breaking new book, "The Conscious Bride: Women Unveil Their True Feelings about Getting Hitched," Sheryl Nissinen interviewed a diverse group of women who were on their way to the altar or who had made it down the aisle and past the "I do's" to the other side. The frank discussion that results covers concerns as varied as the mythology and rituals of the wedding itself, the bride's fears about separating from family and friends, and the sometimes cruel ironies of making the transformation from an independent, single woman into that other status, that whatever-it-is a "wife" is supposed to be.
This is a must-have book for any woman who has found the partner she wants to be with for the rest of her life and has made up her mind to celebrate that commitment. Along with some practical advice to help her think through the traditions of the dress, the vows and the ring, she'll find much needed support and welcome acknowledgment of the shared doubts and fears that so often run amok as wedding bells take their toll.
