1,001 things you must do before you get married - Clare De Vries

However great your determination to avoid it, once you've entered the ranks of the 'smug-marrieds', you'll find your life transforming itself into an exciting rollercoaster ride of couply dinner parties (instead of wild nights clubbing until dawn), trips to Sainsbury's (no more girly shopping sprees) and weekend jaunts to IKEA and the garden centre (art galleries and hearty hikes take second place). Before it's too late, and with the aid of this crucial checklist, make sure you treat yourself to the hedonistic experiences that every fun-loving girl should have. The 1001 things appear in no particular order and encompass the complete gamut of relationships, sexual thrills, beauty treatments, travel experiences, fashion and designer clothes, embarrassing moments, drinking, gastronomic and party excesses, work-related achievements, jokes and pranks to perform, romantic gestures, books to read, films to watch and great views to experience. 1001 Things You Must Do Before You Get Married is essential reading for all prospective brides, bridesmaids, confirmed bachelorettes and fun-loving girls everywhere.
