A hilarious account of the year Lucy Mangan got married (having always said she wouldn't.)
Will Lucy make it down the aisle? It s going to be an uphill struggle . . .
The bride: A late starter in life, Lucy always swore she d never get married. 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 groom: Christopher has spent twenty minutes compiling his guest list and checking his suit fits before returning to his newspaper this wedding business isn t so hard after all.
The mother of the bride: Armed with colour-coded wedding planning folders she is all set. However, twice-daily conversations with her daughter don t seem to be shortening the to-do list she s drawn up.
The father of the bride: A wedding? My daughter? Who s she marrying?
The best friend: Gillian has stood by Lucy through thick and thin, but she is refusing to be a bridesmaid and wear a daft dress.

Lucy Mangan
Lucy was educated in Catford and Cambridge. She was briefly a very bad solicitor before leaving for a much nicer job in a bookshop. She got work experience at the Guardian and hung around until they gave her a job. She is now a columnist and features writer there and writes for magazines, including Grazia, Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan - whenever they ask her.
