I

AM BRIDE is a hysterical spoof of the stressful (and sometimes silly) things a bride encounters when planning her BIG

DAY. Comedian Laura Willcox takes on the voice of an outra-

geously overbearing wedding planner, offering guidance on all aspects of nuptial bliss—from the proposal (hopefully with the ring you’ve been “subtly” emailing him about for months) to the honeymoon. This humorously illustrated guide offers overthe-top “advice” for every wedding-related detail, whether it’s dreaming up the perfect wedding-weekend hashtag, creating an outrageous gift registry to flaunt your fabulous lifestyle, or strategically planning to avoid the unfortunates who didn’t make the guest list. Laura Willcox’s fresh take on all things bridal turns tradition on its head and will have you laughing your way down the aisle and reading passages out loud to your engaged (and married) friends. Laura Willcox is a writer, actress, and comedian living in New York City. She performs weekly at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and has appeared on MTV’s Hey Girl, Comedy Central’s Inside Amy Schumer, and UCB’s Trying, and has written for Girl Code, Cosmopolitan, and more.
