If you're planning a wedding, this book is the one stop shop for wedding vows! My husband and I were recently married and wanted vows which were different from the stock standard ceremony. Dally's book offers so many alternatives and suggestions that it is almost impossible not to find something to suit. Not only does this book offer vows and readings, it gives you the courage to write your own words. There really is no substitute for Ceremonies and Celebrations for couples planning to have alternative wedding vows.

Good Luck with the Wedding!

As an Australian Civil Celebrant I have found this book a most valuable resource in my work and a marvellous tool for anyone wanting to create their own ceremony, whether it be a marriage ceremony, a namegiving ceremony, a funeral ceremony or any one of the many other transition ceremonies that are becoming popular and a part of people's lives in today's society. The book provides many ideas and guidelines on how to create a ceremony with easy-to-read sample ceremonies. It has a wonderful selection of some of the most appropriate poetry and music so essential to a ceremony. For marriage ceremonies - many sample vows, words to say while exchanging rings etc., and for other ceremonies, some very creative ideas. I recommend this book to professional celebrants and their clients alike, and to anyone wanting to create the most wonderful and meaningful ceremony of their lives.

This book is specifically for Australians but most of the info is applicable for Americans as well. I ordered the book mainly for ideas when writing my wedding vows. The first half of the book is all about weddings, vows, wedding ceremonies etc. It provides many examples of wedding vows and readings (for bride & groom, officiant, bridal party etc.). There is a mix of more contemporary vows and readings along with some more traditional ideas as well. I am still in the process of writing my vows. I am confident that I will find everything I need for my vows in this book.
