The ORIGINAL and STILL THE BEST!

After reading a full page article about this book in Brides Magazine many years ago, I instantly ran out and bought it for my upcoming wedding. "Exceptional" didn't began to describe it! There were tons of beautifully written secular vows, a section of inspiring religious vows, vows for every imaginable holiday theme, and even for special settings--like garden, candlelight, seashore, and mountaintop weddings. Beyond all that, I couldn't believe how this book was so ahead of it's time with unique approaches to vows for re-marriages after a divorce, and even addressing the children in marriages of single parents. I could go on and on, but let it suffice to say that although many other books have since tried to imitate this original, "With These Words" is still my #1 choice for engagement & wedding shower presents! And now, to top that I just read in Woman's Day magazine that the author just came out with a new book titled "Loving Vows: Inspiring Promises for Building and Renewing Your Marraige" that helps couples KEEP their wedding promises...Guess I have the perfect wedding present now too :-)

EXCELLENT!

Not feeling very creative, Greg was first apprehensive about writting our vows. I needed help writting a vow that brought dignity and glamour to a divorcee's wedding promises. Fortunately, "WITH THESE WORDS...I THEE WED" helped us both. We first read the romantic vows as a guide and the special section for divorcees was awesome. Then we answered the questionaire that helped us develop our own unique words. The result was a wedding exchange we hold so dear that we snuggle and replay the video every chance we get. This one's a winner!

Great Gift Idea

I bought this book for an engagement party gift and it was a big hit. Yet nothing compared to hearing my dear friends exchange wedding vows from a book I bought them. And it felt great when everyone said that their vows were the most beautiful ones they'd ever heard. Glad I bought it!

Helped my holiday wedding

I discovered this book when I saw it in two different friend's homes who are marrying soon. What a coincidence. And they both recommended it to me. Glad they did. It really helped me tie my personal vow to my upcoming Christmas-candlelight wedding theme. And as it turned out, it didn't matter if I was getting married New years, Valentine's Day, on the seashore or in a garden. You name it and this book can help. I'll be telling friends about it next time myself.

THE HELP I NEEDED!!

My fiancee and I decided to write our own wedding vows. Although I knew in my heart what I want to say, I couldn't put these feelings into words. But everything changed when I bought "With These Words." The book is loaded with great wedding vow words for all marital situations. I merged two of my favorite prewritten vows together and ended up with a vow that left my bride in tears. Thanks "With These Words"!
