Wedding Blessings: Prayers and Poems Celebrating Love, Marriage and Anniversaries

This is a great book for any bride or groom who wants to personalize their wedding ceremony, but isn't sure where to start. It includes a large selection of poems, quotes, prayers, toasts, and sayings that are appropriate to incorporate into vows, or a wedding program, or a reading during the ceremony. I really appreciated that while it does contain some biblical material, the book isn't written from the perspective of everything having to be religious, so there is plenty of material from literature for those seeking that.There are also sections of material for anniversaries and "reflections," which can come in handy for a vow renewal ceremony, or to incorporate into a milestone anniversary celebration. If some of the material isn't right for you, don't worry, when you turn the page I am sure you will find something that fits you perfectly.

I purchased this book after I was tasked with doing a "Reading" at my sisters wedding. I procrastinated and put it off to the last minute and couldn't find anything online that satisfied my requirements. I finally jumped on Amazon and purchased this book on my Kindle, desperately trying to find the "Right" thing for this particular ceremony. Once I bought the book, I found exactly what I needed in about 20 minutes. I found the book to be comprehensive and well laid out. I liked that the offerings were varied - from biblical and serious to sweet and funny. There were also several multicultural selections. I did wind up using one of the readings from this book in the wedding and it was well received.I bought this book on my Kindle and wish I had purchased the hard copy. For something like this, it is much easier to have a book to flip through. On the kindle, I had to go through every page to find what I was looking for, or toggle back and forth between the table of contents and the various blessings, which was a pain in the rear.

This book is the perfect complement to any wedding celebration. My husband and I pulled numerous quotes from various passages which were included in our wedding ceremony. I felt like our whole ceremony was far more intimate and personalized than it ever would have been without this book. My husband and I are very spiritual people who believe in God, but do not identify with any particular denomination. The book has a spiritual element but is not overly 'preachy'. There is something for everyone here. If you are not getting married, but simply have to give a speech...this book will either give you a ready-made speech/reading or provide inspiration/quotes to get you started. The only ding I am giving book is actually for the seller. Book was supposed to be "like new" but looked 'gently used' and had some dog eared pages.

We've used this books in planning our own wedding as well as helping several other couples find the vows, toasts, & words to describe their love during special occasions. Highly recommend! -All About Love Foundation-Event Planner, AD

I gave this book as a bridal shower gift along with a gift card and the bride loves it!

I am a calligrapher and I am always looking for poems and prayers to write and have framed and then present to the newlyweds. I was excited when I opened the book and read some of the beautiful verses. I tell you I am in a calligrapher's heaven. My brother is a minister and as the "wedding season" is approaching I will be ordering a copy for him. If I could rate this book higher than the 5 stars I would. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

This a great book that has various quotations & poems from a variety of sources that range from Rumi to the Bible. Great for a couple that will be getting married to personalize their wedding program/service/invitation/video/thank you cards etc.. And is something they'll treasure as they go through anniversaries. Great gift for the newly engaged as well those well-seasoned in marriage!
