The perfect starting point for couples feeling like rabbits in the headlights when it comes to planning their dream big day, author Laura Britton is confident that her book will also be a useful aid for couples using a professional planner to share their hopes, dreams, and expectations. Laura says, “Having been diagnosed with FND (functional neurological disorder) following a car crash last year, I have been unable to work. As I didn't want this illness to define me, I created a book that would help people and provide treasured memories to come, hence Our Wedding Planner. The motto for my business is ‘cherish the ordinary moments, for they have the power to become extraordinary memories' and this book is all about putting in place a wedding plan that will always be remembered as a special time.”
Laura Britton’s decision to embark on a new career as an author, brings into play the full extent of the experience gained having worked for a number of years in the wedding industry.
