If they're going to crash diet in an LC way ANYWAY, get them a copy of the drs Eades' "The Six Week Cure for the Middle-aged Middle" (and no, being middle-aged is not a requirement, LOL!). I tried it, lost some weight probably, but that was in my rabidly anti-weigh-in phase, but it was really frickin' hard and I fell off after less than two weeks.
This is the diet the Eades' came up with when they had to crash diet themselves (!) for a TV cooking show. Read the story in the first chapter, it's pretty funny.
Obviously, this is NOT a long term answer. But it will get them into the low carb state of mind somewhat, lose them the weight for the wedding, and serve as a primer of sorts, you could get them the regular Protein Power book afterwards, or Atkins, just don't mention it until after the wedding. The Eades are pretty great at explaining LC, whatever the book.
