This review is from: With These Words-- I Thee Wed: Contemporary Wedding Vows for Today's Couples (Paperback)

Reading this book was like falling in love all over again. The vows reminded me of all the reasons why I fell in love and decided to marry Donald. But there's more to this book than expected. The questionaire in the back that aids in writting our own personal vows prompted important premarital discussions between Donald and I that we wouldn't have had otherwise. So I not only ended up writing an absolutely beautiful personalized vow, but my words had greater meaning because of our discussions. I'd strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to exchange exceptional wedding promises.

This review is from: With These Words-- I Thee Wed: Contemporary Wedding Vows for Today's Couples (Paperback)

My fiancee and I decided to write our own wedding vows. Although I knew in my heart what I want to say, I couldn't put these feelings into words. But everything changed when I bought "With These Words." The book is loaded with great wedding vow words for all marital situations. I merged two of my favorite prewritten vows together and ended up with a vow that left my bride in tears. Thanks "With These Words"!

This review is from: With These Words-- I Thee Wed: Contemporary Wedding Vows for Today's Couples (Paperback)

Not feeling very creative, Greg was first apprehensive about writting our vows. I needed help writting a vow that brought dignity and glamour to a divorcee's wedding promises. Fortunately, "WITH THESE WORDS...I THEE WED" helped us both. We first read the romantic vows as a guide and the special section for divorcees was awesome. Then we answered the questionaire that helped us develop our own unique words. The result was a wedding exchange we hold so dear that we snuggle and replay the video every chance we get. This one's a winner!
