The Wedding Ceremony Planner: The Essential Guide to the Most Important Part of Your Wedding Day FROM THE PUBLISHER
Many couples want a spiritual but not a religious ceremony that truly
celebrates their unique set of beliefs, values and life circumstances. They
want their ceremony, their way but don't know where to begin or what
questions they need to ask. The Wedding Ceremony Planner is a comprehensive
and user-friendly guide. It covers everything you need to know to create a
beautiful ceremony text and to anticipate and address all the profound and
mundane logistics with ease, grace and fun. It includes hundreds of text
excerpts reflecting the many voices with which our hearts speak. There are
also ten sample ceremony texts for the inclusion of children, the telling of
the couple's story, the renewal of vows and a commitment ceremony.
Checklists and worksheets are included to manage all the details. The
Wedding Ceremony Planner is also an invaluable resource for clergy of all
faiths, wedding planners and location coordinators. Sprinkled with
anecdotes about lessons learned by couples creating their weddings, this
book is filled with the wisdom of experience.
