A Beautiful Collection of Prayers and Poems June 8, 2007

I bought this book to help with our 30th wedding anniversary recommitment service. I was hoping to find religious and secular poems and prayers about love to express how important my marriage has been. I was not disappointed. There are many beautiful examples to use in any kind of wedding ceremony. The book is beautifully presented and has a great variety of poems and prayers.
So Glad I Got This Book! May 24, 2007

Finally, a wedding book not full of cheesy love poems - but of quotes, poems, and vows that I would actually use for my wedding!
I recommend this book to anyone. It has traditional/religious and more modern stuff, and is so useful if you are trying to write your own vows, or kind of create your own unique ceremony.
Lovely book March 26, 2007

This a great book that has various quotations & poems from a variety of sources that range from Rumi to the Bible. Great for a couple that will be getting married to personalize their wedding program/service/invitation/video/thank you cards etc.. And is something they'll treasure as they go through anniversaries. Great gift for the newly engaged as well those well-seasoned in marriage!
Perfect!!!!! January 25, 2007

I am a calligrapher and I am always looking for poems and prayers to write and have framed and then present to the newlyweds. I was excited when I opened the book and read some of the beautiful verses. I tell you I am in a calligrapher's heaven. My brother is a minister and as the "wedding season" is approaching I will be ordering a copy for him. If I could rate this book higher than the 5 stars I would. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

Are you looking for a special blessing for a wedding? Chances are good you will find something that is perfect right here in this book. In the book, WEDDING BLESSINGS by June Cotner, you'll find page after page of unique blessings to add a special touch to your occasion. I've included numerous derivatives of what I've found in this book in many of the weddings I have performed.
Cotner has separated the contents into seven chapters here to include Verses and Readings, Wedding Vows, Wedding Prayers, Wedding Blessings, Wedding Toasts, Wedding Anniversaries and Wedding Reflections. I seldom use something verbatim, but often put together some sort of derivative to fit a particular couple or occasion.
At a recent ceremony I performed, I read a slightly altered version of the reading titled "Abundance and Light"(p32). After the ceremony, I had a couple come to me to thank me. Their story was, they almost didn't come to the wedding as their marriage had deteriorated and they were going the following week to file for divorce. The woman told me, as I was reading it, her husband reached over and took her hand. When I finished the reading, he whispered to her that he thought they needed to go home and work this out. Well, to make a long story short, after counseling with them several times, their marriage is now on the road to recovery. It's just one of those things that makes being a minister worth all the hard work. Perhaps you too, will find something valuable in this little book that will have a very positive influence on you, or someone close to you.
Even if there isn't a wedding in your future, you will still enjoy reading what Cotner has assembled here. So many books of this type offer the same fare as the next one, but here I found many verses I had never heard before.
