Another Bridal Dilemma: Brides and Their Single Bridesmaids

New Book Offers the Perfect Bridesmaid Gift Solution for the Sensitive Bride Who Wants to Encourage Single Friends About Their Own “Happily Ever After”

This Wedding Season, Two Sassy Single Authors Redefine Fairy Tale Endings for Young Readers!

New Release, Princess Bubble, Strikes Chord With America’s SINGLE WOMEN WHO FOR THE FIRST TIME IN U.S. HISTORY OUTNUMBER MARRIED WOMEN

ATLANTA, November 8, 2007—“How do I glory in my big day when my single friends are wondering when (or IF) theirs will ever come?” This is the dilemma of many caring brides who want their single bridesmaids and friends to enjoy their wedding without grieving their own “single status.” Future brides everywhere share a wonderful “un-married” gift of encouragement to their single friends and bridesmaids—embrace “happily ever after,” even without a prince.

With wisdom gleaned from their careers as independent, globe-trotting flight attendants, first-time authors (and veteran bridesmaids) Susan Johnston and Kimberly Webb have crafted a modern-day fairy tale that celebrates singleness. And with 51% of American women living single today, it’s about time someone told this story.

“We’ve had people give the book as gifts for BRIDESMAIDS, girls going off to college, and even friends who are going through divorce,” said Johnston.

A contemporary fairy tale for all ages, Princess Bubble was written to reduce the overwhelming sense of failure, self-doubt, and despair that some single women face during wedding celebrations.

Princess Bubble stars a princess who is confused by the traditional fairy tale messages that say she must find her “prince” before she can live “happily ever after.” Princess Bubble dons her “thinking crown” to research traditional fairy tales, interviews married girlfriends, and even takes counsel from her mother, who advises her to sign up at FindYourPrince.com. With a little help from her fairy godmother (this is still a fairy tale after all), Ms. Bubble discovers that “living happily ever after” is not about finding a prince. “True happiness,” the book reveals, “is found by loving God, being kind to others, and being comfortable with who you are already!”

ABOUT PRINCESS BUBBLE and BUBBLE GUM PRESS: Princess Bubble is now available through most online retailers and in over 70 retail outlets. The Princess Bubble message, cleverly articulated by former Delta flight attendants Susan Johnston and Kimberly Webb, seeks to find an alternate ending to “happily ever after” and change the notion that life begins and ends with finding your Prince Charming. Looking to bolster the poor self-esteem of female youth and the stigma that many single adult women carry, Johnston and Webb believe “this is a book for women of all ages, a story they can believe in and share with their children.” In upcoming adventures, Princess Bubble will travel to distant lands where the knowledge of every new culture will enrich her flourishing life.
