This review is from: Ceremonies of the Heart: Celebrating Lesbian Union (Paperback)
In searching for a guide to lesbian wedding planning, my partner-to-be and I encountered this book at the local glbt bookstore. We were both sadly disappointed by the lack of up-to-date information and the antiquated nature of the content. Perhaps due to the time period in which the book was written, many of the women were estranged from their families and seemingly on the fringes of society. We had difficulty identifying with any of them. A more current version is desparately needed!
