A successful 38 year old food writer from New York City, just after she returns from her honeymoon, believes she has made the worst mistake of her life. For years, she had tried waiting until "The Man of her Dreams" or "The One" to swoop down and carry her off into the marital bliss. Almost reaching 40 though, Tressa Nolan fears that her time is almost up and the next man that proposes will be the man she will marry. Then, as if her prayers had been answered Dan Mullins, her apartments' superintendent came to her Manhattan doorstep to inquire about her participation in a fire drill practice. Having taken the day off to drink away her pity and eat away her loneliness, Dan seems to be the answer. Three months into the accessible relationship, Dan proposed marriage. Getting caught up in the planning of a wedding; Tressa agrees while suppressing her worries if this man she is to marry is really "the one". This book discovers and discusses marriage issues and a guide to overcome the fear of getting married. It is a best consumer guide to marriage in a novel form!
