About The Book

A woman spends her entire life planning the details of her wedding day, and the minute she believes she's met Mr. Right, she starts planning their wedding, imagining what features their children will inherit, and decorating and designing their first home - all on the first date, before dessert is even served. After spending almost a lifetime planning her princess fairytale, though, what will this woman feel like when she learns she may never marry? Does a bride need a groom in order to be a bride?

Talia Sands, who is very ready for marriage, is left broken-hearted after five years by a man who she learns is having an affair with the neighborhood trick. This becomes a turning point for Talia, as she decides not to allow a no-good man to destroy her dreams of marriage. After she has an epiphany about the root of marriage, which is love, Talia decides to marry herself as a symbol of self-commitment and self-love. Today, I Marry My Best Friend: Myself tells the story of how a woman can stop tirelessly and painfully waiting for a man to ask for her hand in marriage, instead following Talia's lead by getting her middle finger sized, purchasing her own wedding ring, and marrying herself.


Today, I Marry My Best Friend: Myself  is available for download for Kindle, Nook, eReaders, PCs, laptops, and smart phones, as well as in paperback format. For more info, visit our online bookstore:
