Summary: It has it all...
Comment: If you are looking for something besides the ordinary, this is a great book, with fabulous ideas. We had truly unique vows at our wedding, that were meaningful to us. And we got them out of this book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Somewhat helpful
Comment: This book was only somewhat helpful to me. It needs to be updated to current times. I was looking for ideas for a contemporary wedding and this book has more traditional and religious ideas plus I was expecting to see more in the book, there was not enough information.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Resource For Planning Your Ceremony
Comment: After looking through what felt like hundreds of wedding planning books and magazines and always seeing the same ideas over and over again I finally stumbled across this particular book. It was just what I needed as my husband and I both have busy work/travel schedules and we only had two months to plan our Christmas wedding. This book really became an invaluable resource for planning the ceremony that we wanted. The book contains hundreds of quotes from a variety of both religious and secular/literary sources, along with sample programs, hundreds of song lists, and explanations of different cultural wedding traditions. With our limited time, this book became our single most used reference and helped us create the unique and personal wedding that we both wanted.
Customer Rating:
Summary: mediocre
Comment: I found this book a little dissapointing. Not much to it. It's not all inclusive like it would lead you to believe. I was looking to design a wedding ceremony. Instead of focusing in depth on one topic it has a more broad overview of every topic. I would of preferred more options and explanations
Customer Rating:
Summary: Useful idea resource
Comment: This book is full of your typical wedding songs and poems, but there are also a good selection of modern/non-traditional ideas. The examples of vows and rituals were a nice inclusion for those wanting a starting point for creating their own unique wedding activities.
