2.0 out of 5 stars Skimpy on substance, February 23, 2006
I returned this book because it seemed rather disorganized and fluffy. I wanted some suggestions for things to include in a ceremony, but most of these suggestions seemed impractical or irrelevant, or incompletely explained.

(REAL NAME)   
This very informative book has many explanations of Native American marriage traditions along with helpful hints on how to incorporate those traditions into contemporary weddings and life. The author has included poems, folklore, recipes, jewelry tips, a great index, and a helpful bibliography.
