With a title like "Vows", I expected to find a number of different inspirational vows and ceremonies to choose from in addition to guidance on writing my own. Instead I found a lot of information on African cultures which was nice (the history of the dowry, how to jump a broom, telling your family of your engagement, incorporating african themes into your ceremony, honring the dead at your ceremony, etc.). The info was good, but what I was really looking for was Vows...There were a couple, but the book was generally about traditions, customs, etc.
