"Safier's timely and important book shows why it's better to break off an engagement than go through with a marriage that isn't meant to be. The wise words of these 'almost brides' will be helpful to others on the verge of breaking it off, or troubled by the aftermath of a broken engagement." - Pamela Paul, author of The Starter Marriage and the Future of Matrimony.
"It's about time someone tackled this often-secret subject. 'There Goes the Bride' is long overdue." - Lori Leibovich, Editor and Founder, Indiebride.com
"Amid all the happy talk about encouraging marriage, we need to remember that what we really want is better, more stable, grown-up marriages, and that people need to think critically about whether they are right for each other, and indeed whether they are ready for marriage to anybody." - John Crouch, Executive Director, Americans for Divorce Reform
