About the Author
Cynthia Clumeck Muchnick was born and raised in Marin
County, California. She pursued her undergraduate degree in Art
History and Political Science at Stanford University where she met
her husband, Adam Muchnick. After completing college, Cindy moved
to Chicago where she began her career in college admissions at the
University of Chicago. One spring break, Cindy and Adam were on
vacation in Paris when Adam popped the fateful question that
sparked Cindy's interest in proposals and weddings. Cindy and her
husband relocated to Florida where she earned her masters degree in
Liberal Studies and taught tenth grade history.
Dubbed an Engagement Expert and Coach, she has appeared on dozens
of talk shows and news stations including Leeza, Sally Jesse
Raphael, Donny & Marie, Fox News, Good Day LA, Good Day New York
and many others. Cindy also worked as a columnist and spokesperson
for Honeymoon magazine as well as a freelance writer for Coast
magazine. The Ultimate Wedding Idea Book is Cindy's third wedding
book. She is also the author of Prima Publishing's upcoming wedding
book, The Frugal Bride, scheduled to release early 2002.
Still incurable romantics, Cindy and her husband Adam are living
happily ever after with their two sons in Southern California.
