Words for your Wedding

We have used this book for some years now to assist the couples we marry in sorting their vows. Of the several books we have for this purpose, as Officiants of Christian marriages, this book has been the most helpful - for us & the couples as they choose their special words. Rather than choosing all the words a particular denomination uses, the couples have taken words from the different ones to say what best expresses them. We recommend it.

A must have resource!

I could not put this book down! It is the easiest, step-by-step guide that I have come across while planning my wedding. It doesn't tell you "you can do something like this, and here's another general idea" It says "you need a blessing for your rings...here are 5 ways to say it...pick one!" I loved it and would highly recommend it to the stressed and weary bride-to-be!

MUST HAVE FOR THE ENGAGED!

THIS BOOK IS THE BEST FOR THOSE ABOUT TO MARRY. WHETHER YOUR DEEPLY RELIGIOUS OR JUST KNOW WHERE A CHURCH IS YOU WILL FIND THIS BOOK A GREAT TOOL FOR PLANNING A PERFECT CEREMONY.
