 Building Blocks for a Beautiful Ceremony June 6, 1999
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
I was recently married in a Baha'i ceremony. In the Baha'i Faith, the only required/prescribed element is the one-line vow, "We will all, verily, abide by the Will of God." Other than that, we were on our own. The thing that made this book so incredibly helpful is that the author describes the various elements or building blocks of a wedding ceremony, e.g. processional, convocation, readings, vows, benediction, etc. We were able to easily adapt her "building blocks" by inserting writings and prayers from the Baha'i Faith, the New Testament, and other sources -- even a "family medallion" ceremony to honor my son! It was warm and wonderful and everyone tells us it was the most beautiful ceremony they'd ever seen. Yes, some of Kingma's suggested readings and speeches are corny -- we didn't use a single one of her suggested vows or writings. And her prose isn't as graceful as some I've seen. But if you want a book that is really helpful with the nitty-gritty, this is the one to have. We definitely couldn't have made our ceremony as meaningful and beautiful without this book. Buy it!
The most spiritual writer on relationships and weddings April 22, 1999
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Daphne Rose is one of the most inspired writers on relationships I have ever read, first of all. Her wedding book is absolutely incredible for the alternative ideas for weddings and for the inspiration for people who aren't mainstream religous. I am Wiccan and my husband is Catholic, I used this book to write my wedding and I recommend this book to anyone writing their wedding - expecially if you have alternative views.
This was our favorite book! January 21, 1999

This was the most complete source for our ceremonial planning. The suggestions were great for anyone wanting a very non-traditional, spiritually based (not necessarily religious)unforgettable wedding. the author presents different types of ceremonies (ie: 2nd marriages, alternative lifestyles. We picked and chose many different sections of the book to create our entire ceremony. This is a great book to help in planning if you don't want the common, boring, religious-based ceremony.
wonderful wedding resource January 17, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book was an extremely valuable resource in planning my wedding. We were able to put together a ceremony that perfectly stated our feelngs and expressed what we wanted for our ceremony. Some of the selections may have seemed silly to me, but there were just as many that I loved! I highly recommend this book for writing a personal and meaningful ceremony.
 Not worth the trees killed to produce it. April 28, 1998

I ordered this book based on other Amazon readers' comments, and was horrified and disgusted at my choice. The suggested readings are very nice, since the author did not write any of them. The rest of the text is poorly written, silly psycho-babble. I doubt anyone wants their wedding benediction prayer to end with "depart with joy in your heart and happiness in your feet". I did get plenty of hearty laughs out of the suggested ceremonies, but unfortunately, no constructive assistance.
