From gaining weight ("The Newlywed Nineteen is the little-known cousin of the Freshman Fifteen"), to handling finances ("What if neither of us is good at it?") to the rigors of Thanksgiving at the in-laws', being married changes everything. But no one ever talks about it. No one ever explains how to Love, Honor, and Cherish a man who thinks empty milk glasses and pistachio shells make nice coffee-table décor. A man who not only takes forever in the bathroom, but somehow keeps forgetting that your shampoo and conditioner are off limits!
No one, that is, until Jenny Lee. A former swinging city girl who married for love but then faced the fish-out-of-water reality of sharing a life with a man who is nothing like her, Ms. Lee decided it was high time to reveal the secrets that no one would tell her before the ceremony. A perfect shower gift, I DO. I DID. NOW WHAT? throws back the covers on a newlywed's first year-after you send the Vera Wang into storage and realize that you're suddenly a wife, with a real live husband... and one TV remote.
Sharply observed, full of sass and wit, I DO. I DID. NOW WHAT? is the book that no fiancée, bride, or newlywed should be without -the one book that can answer the eternal nuptial question: Why do I want to kill the person I just vowed to spend the rest of my life with?

These anecdotes will have you rolling! Hysterically funny and witty! I'm Korean-American like Lee and even though she doesn't delve too much into the whole racial/cultural issue just the stories about newlywed life are too candid to be made up! The part where she jumps up and says: "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE DOING THIS! YOU'RE SPOILING HIM!" when Lee's traditional mother brings her new son-in-law his favorite drink (lemon-lime Gatorade - just like my own husband!) on a silver tray with a crystal highball glass filled with ice. This is something my own mother has actually done.
The Great Dinner Debate is something we, to this day, still struggle with.
Anyway, this is a fast-paced, endearing, comical read. Once you pick it up you won't be able to put it down!

people are very divided on this book, but i wasn't into it. i guess the author is trying to be funny but she is so shallow, petty, and self centered, it seems to me that she wanted a wedding and not a marriage. last time i checked i enjoy hanging out with my husband, don't really care if he beats me at scrabble, or uses my shampoo. because those things don't matter. i guess if the book was funnier or more insightful i could have gotten beyond the whinning. but when you start the book basically complaining that you went to st. lucia, i can hardly relate.

I love this book! The first time I read it, I just could not stop laughing. And now, after a year, I am rereading it. It still cracks me up. I can relate to so many of the same experiences which Jenny Lee writes about. It is a very light fun read. Her writing is comical and very easy to read. I just bought her newest book "skinny bitching" and can't wait to start reading it.

While it was a fun book to read, it was not at all what I thought it would be. I was looking for a book to help me with my nerves about my own wedding. The book jacket promises; how to meet other couples, cleaning compromises, and other mysteries solved. I really didn't see what mysteries it solved, nor to it answer any of the other promises. Like I said before it was fun to read, its short and quick, but does it answer any questions, I didn't think so. I also read The Conscious Bride by Sheryl Nissinen. When I looked at it the first couple of times I thought it was a book trying to talk you out of getting married, not so. It really makes you think about different aspects of your engagement and relationship, now that was a helpful book!
