The Knot Book of Wedding Lists, The Ultimate Guide to the Perfect Day, Down to the Smallest Detail By Carley Roney and the editors of TheKnot.com

NEW YORK, NY (January 8, 2008) — Ah, proposal season, the magical time of year when earth-shattering shrieks are heard from thousands of women across the country who finally hear that ever-important question.

But within weeks, the joyous mood suddenly breaks and the whirlwind comes to a screeching halt as reality sets in for newly engaged couples. The truth is that before happily-ever-after, there are over 500 to-dos in need of attention — from the rehearsal dinner to the reception (and of course you can’t forget the postwedding brunch), to all of the details from the flowers to the wedding dress. With all the to-dos — and expenses — that go into planning a wedding, it should come as no surprise that today’s brides and grooms face big challenges and even bigger pressures to plan the perfect day.

Finally, newly engaged couples can breathe a sigh of relief because, thanks to the love of lists at TheKnot.com, the stress of planning a wedding is about to get much easier.
