I really like how The ULTIMATE Wedding/Ceremony Workbook For The Planning-Impaired gives the engaged couple freedom to be as creative and as daring as they can live with.

I also found myself getting kind of excited as I anticipated how the bride and groom would watch their wedding plans come together in a very real and concrete way. Of course, I'm a very visual person so this really appeals to me.

I loved that you included sample prayers and vows - it gives them a chance to realize that this is an important ceremony, as well as a sacred time in their lives, and presents each of them with the opportunity to seriously think about how to make it meaningful for themselves on a personal level.

The book is also casual and relaxed and the writing nice and big so it really has that workbook feel instead of the 'how to do it the right way' type of message. This is a great book - I know my son and future daughter-in-law will love it!

There are so many details related to planning any size wedding that having a book like this one to guide you is a definite plus. While I consider myself a very organized person, I still would have overlooked things like melting the wax off the wick of the unity candle beforehand, and having a basket available for cards at the gift table. We especially enjoyed designing our very own wedding ceremony from the wonderful selections provided. Reverend Amy has a lighthearted writing style that makes this book enjoyable to read as well as helpful. This one is a worthwhile investment for any wedding.

I'm a non-denominational minister and I bought this book because I was interested in expanding my collection of ceremonies. This book was perfect. I found ceremonies to suit many different situations and they were all very heartfelt and personal. Since I've been using them, people often ask me if the couple wrote the ceremony themselves because it sounds so much like them. The whole book was outstanding!

This is the most helpful wedding planning book I've read. It gives a lot of great ideas and really explains and organizes everything you need to do to get ready for the "big day". The checklists were wonderful. She thought of everything! This is a lifesaver!

Thank god for this book! Planning for my wedding topped my lifetime list of most stressful events until my (recently married) friend bought this book for me. Not being the most organized person definitely deepened my prenuptial anxiety, but thanks to this book, I am relaxed and excited about the big event. Why is it so good? The book systematically lays out the important (and easily forgotten) details necessary for a memorable and smooth going wedding. I really like the worksheets that the author included (and stressed using as an integral part of the planning process). I know what I do and don't want for my wedding and am planning accordingly. While it's not for another three months, I am relaxed and confident that mine is going to be a wedding to remember! My friend recently got engaged and I plan to give this book to her as an engagement gift - we "brides to be" need all the help we can get!

I'm not usually very good at planning parties and things (we stay in a lot), so the idea of doing a whole wedding was a bit overwhelming. Our wedding was small (75 people), but there was still a lot that needed doing. The checklists made life much easier. We planned the food ourselves and the list of food suggestions really helped! I used the ceremony stuff too. The vows meant more to us because we put them together ourselves.

I like to put my couples in control of the biggest day of their lives. Why not let them choose the words? When my clients book with me I give them the book. It makes life simpler for me. They pick the parts to include and leave out and I show up, do as they ask and pronounce them Husband and Wife. My only problem is keeping myself in stock.

The new book, bright canary yellow this time (I noticed there was no picture yet), is truly outstanding! There are more ceremonies and the layout is very professional. I am a minister and I've been buying the pink version and giving it to my brides and grooms to help plan their ceremony, so I know the book very well. I'm even more impressed with the revision. There are pictures, more ceremonies, more planning stuff, just more. And the yellow cover is really eye-catching.

It's the little things that count in a wedding, like having an emergency kit for the big day, and remembering to put lotion on your ring finger. But the written ceremonies were so beautiful, more so than most ministers recite, and it makes it possible for the couple to have exactly what they want to say at their own wedding. And there are many of us who can't get it together without a lot of organizational help, and handy checklists. Good for you, Reverand Long!

This book has a ton of planning things in it. If you are on a budget, this book is extremely helpful in keeping you on that budget. If you are less concerned about the budget, there are pages and pages of ceremony readings. If you have a wedding planner person, you will like it for the ceremony parts -- if you don't have a wedding planner, then this is the only book you'll need.
