Eat Drink Remarry

Despite her many years of offering relationship advice as a syndicated columnist—not to mention her pedigree as the daughter of the woman the world revered as Ann Landers— Margo Howard had to walk down the aisle four times before getting it right. Now the outspoken and witty Howard shares the sometimes rueful, always optimistic story of her adventures in pursuit of the perfect mate. Eat Drink and Remarry is the candid, funny no-holds-barred memoir of Howard's enduring belief in marriage as an institution—despite the often contrary evidence of her own experience. As she chronicles the courtships, marriages, dalliances and divorces that shaped her adulthood, she recalls people and events that left their mark on her life, including her famous (and frank) mother her children and a host of colleagues, from prize-winning journalists and scientists to Hollywood stars. Eat, Drink and Remarry is an endearing book about second (and third and fourth) chances, about the sometimes cockeyed optimism of love and about finding what's right for you—no matter how long it takes.

'In many ways Jimmy Hill was football. He was a true great of the game.' - Greg Dyke, Chairman of the Football Association Jimmy Hill died on 19th December 2015 but very much remains a household name. Renowned for his outspoken views, recognised the world over by his famous profile, only he saw football from every side: as player, coach, manager, chairman, television executive and broadcaster. A versatile player with Brentford and Fulham in the fifties, he was a qualified coach by the age of 24. In the sixties his innovative management technique took Coventry from the bottom of the Third to the First Division, where they stayed for 32 years.

But it is as a TV presenter that Jimmy became best known. After five years as Head of Sport at LWT, he moved to the BBC to become a national institution in the seventies and eighties on Match of the Day. Tragically Jimmy Hill succumbed to Alzheimer's Disease in his last few years, A moving epilogue has been included which reflects on Jimmy's remarkable life. Jimmy tells the story of his rise from humble beginnings to distinction both on and off the field with modesty and humour.

This is not your mother's second wedding! Getting married again? Wondering why the planning is harder than you thought it was going to be? You've done this once already, what's going on? Stacey was twenty-eight when she got divorced and thirty when she walked down the aisle for the second time. She didn't know one person who was divorced at her age, let alone remarrying. She didn't feel like she had the right to ask for help with anything. Friends and family helped her plan the first wedding (bridal showers, engagement parties, gifts) and they supported her through her divorce. How could she ask for anything now? After she got married (round two), she began to see more women going through the same process - getting married way too young, getting divorced and remarrying around thirty. She soon felt compelled to write this book. She saw herself as a pioneer and maybe she could help others going through the same thing. Almost everything went wrong when she was planning her second wedding. The only right part about the whole experience was her husband-to-be. But even though she was marrying Mr. Right, the Universe kept sending every wrong circumstance her way. She soon discovered that she was the source of her own misery. Her frame of mind attracted these circumstances. She was engaged less than one year after her divorce was final. That isn't much time, especially because once she received those papers she never looked back - never thought about it, never talked about it...nothing. So, she never dealt with all of the emotions surrounding her divorce. Throughout the whole planning process, the only decision that stuck was their wedding date, August 7. Every other decision got mangled and battered until what was left was the last resort and the one they took. From where they were getting married (which changed three times with multiple lost deposits) to what she wore (wrong dress, bought a veil) to the do-it-yourself invitations that cost over $500 for seventy-five of them (and the idea was to save money). The list goes on: finding an officiant to perform the ceremony who was not a member of the Addams Family; or doing all of the flowers for the whole wedding herself. It wasn't until 700 blooms showed up at her door all individually wrapped needing some water that she asked herself, "Why didn't I hire a planner?" These pages are chock-full of love and gratitude for the stories they tell. This is Stacey's story and the stories of some other brave women who were honest about the struggles surrounding their encore weddings. There were plenty of happy moments, but for some reason the low points are much funnier. Most of it was a roller-coaster of emotions and one big logistical nightmare. Through Stacey's honest and heart-felt story, this book will help cut through the fray to what you really need to get done and also give you a laugh or two. Who can't use more of those?
