The big day need not cost big bucks. Yes, Virginia, a sensible, affordable, quickly-planned wedding is possible. In his Wedding Bliss on a Budget (Self-Counsel $14.95), journalist Ethan Baron guides couples on how to create a great event without a great budget. Baron spent four years as a general-assignment reporter at The Province before taking on the job of columnist in 2009. After receiving a Master’s degree in journalism from the University of California, Berkeley, he has worked at a variety of journalism gigs for fifteen years prior to landing a job as an instructor at Langara University in Vancouver. His work has taken him to crime scenes, courtrooms, carnivals and war zones–all ideal training grounds for writing a book about weddings. 9781770402225
