5.0 out of 5 stars Romance has been given another chance!, February 11, 2003

By A Customer

This is a great book for anyone who believes true love still exists and who believes in the power of the written word as a means of expressing that incredible emotion. Wedding Blessings contains well-known authors such as Shakespeare and Elizabeth Barrett Browning and numerous up and coming writers from the current era whose ability to capture and celebrate love is both amazing and exciting. It is easy to relate to the beautiful, heartfelt writing of this book. One of my favorite passages is from the following piece titled, "A Husband's Vows:"

I will help you look for the things you seek.
I will hope for you,
concentrate on you,
learn with you.

Whatever you give,
I will cherish and multiply,
add harmony and keep rhythm,
with everything I possess.

Wedding Blessings is a lovely book to give or own. I bought it looking for readings to use for my wedding and found much more. A beautiful volume of verse that will soften even the hardest of hearts and move you emotionally.

5.0 out of 5 stars From Every Heart to Every Heart, August 2, 2005

By	Noma D. Plume - See all my reviews

This is a fantastic collection of touching, meaningful words to exchange on that special occasion. Everyone is included, or the passages can be edited to include family members, children from previous marriages, parents and friends. If the bride and groom or participants take from these readings and make them their own, this will truly be a ceremony to remember. I am a justice of the peace in Vermont and I gift this book to every bride and groom to reach into their hearts for the words that will last a lifetime.
