From the woman who made a career out of being a professional bridesmaid comes a refreshingly honest, touching, and humorous memoir about finding love and finally becoming a bride herself. After helping hundreds of strangers navigate their walk down the aisle, Jen Glantz thought she had seen it all — until it was her turn. When a psychic once told her she’d never find love, Glantz set out to prove her wrong, embarking on fourteen first dates in one month. But finding love was just the beginning.

In this candid and witty account, Glantz takes readers through her unconventional journey from professional bridesmaid to pandemic bride, learning that sometimes the perfect wedding isn’t what you imagined at all. With stories that will make you laugh, cry, and question everything you thought you knew about modern love and marriage, Finally the Bride proves that there’s no right way to tie the knot — as long as you’re true to yourself.

A must-read for anyone who’s ever felt pressure to have the perfect wedding, struggled with relationship expectations, or simply wondered what really happens behind the scenes of all those picture-perfect celebrations.
