I could not put this book down! It is the easiest, step-by-step guide that I have come across while planning my wedding. It doesn't tell you "you can do something like this, and here's another general idea" It says "you need a blessing for your rings...here are 5 ways to say it...pick one!" I loved it and would highly recommend it to the stressed and weary bride-to-be!

I bought this because we have been desperately searching for a single passage of intro text at the beginning of our ceremony. We already have everything else set. However, while this book had a lot of interesting wordings for a lot of different religions, it was nothing like we were looking for. It was similar to the corresponding chapter in "The Everything Wedding Book." (Check it out, if you haven't -- LOTS more good info for the entire planning process!)

This book might be a very good resource for vow readings, though, esp. if the bride and groom are of different faiths.

We have used this book for some years now to assist the couples we marry in sorting their vows. Of the several books we have for this purpose, as Officiants of Christian marriages, this book has been the most helpful - for us & the couples as they choose their special words. Rather than choosing all the words a particular denomination uses, the couples have taken words from the different ones to say what best expresses them. We recommend it.

I'm getting married in about ten weeks, and I just bought this book yesterday. I went to a bookstore (sorry, Amazon) and looked through dozens of 'wedding vow books', and found them all schmaltzy and trite. "Words for Your Wedding" is what most of the others are not -- simple, inexpensive, and completely lacking in advertisements being passed off as advice. The authors identify the most common parts of the service, and then give you alternative wordings from various Christian denominations (there is a short section on Jewish weddings in the back). This book clearly isn't for everyone, but I would absolutely recommend it for couples who are focusing on their marriage rather than their wedding.

THIS BOOK IS THE BEST FOR THOSE ABOUT TO MARRY. WHETHER YOUR DEEPLY RELIGIOUS OR JUST KNOW WHERE A CHURCH IS YOU WILL FIND THIS BOOK A GREAT TOOL FOR PLANNING A PERFECT CEREMONY.

Words for Your Wedding: The Wedding Service Book by David Glusker was an easy guide for selecting the words for our wedding.

When i purchased this book I was looking for something that would help me write a comepletly secular ceremony for my wedding. This book is not secular by any means!!! It outlines certain ways to have a ceremony based on a series of different relgions. I have certain words that will be omitted from my ceremony (god, christ, worship, covenent, etc) and this book didnt help. every passage the offer has one of these words in it. It does have about a page on civil services, so i guess its not all bad. But if you are like me dont bother buying this book, its not helpful.

I have used this book before. The info is timeless. Ordering and shipping was smooth and sooooo easy!

This book is perfect for couples planning the "Cookie Cutter Same As Traditional Wedding." It is a Christian Wedding book, there are no good alternative vows, readings, blessing, or optional elements. It is a dry and boring read. It would be easier to go online and pull up "The Book Of Common Prayer Wedding and print it. The intent of the book is misleading with the title. The Title of The Book Should Read: Your Standard Basic No Frills Christian Wedding. That way readers know what they are purchasing and will be satisfied instead of disappointed.

too much junk
didnt like the book it was more religious and not common person stuff didnt like it.
