Notes

When two people decide to wed, they hear over and over again, however subtly, what the "perfect" wedding must include. Unfortunately, these commercially prescribed aspects often overshadow the meaning of the event for these two people, their families and friends. The wedding becomes an "event" rather than a significant religious and personal celebration.

This guide offers engaged couples, clergy, congregations and families alternatives to the consumer wedding. These resources will encourage you to use your imagination as you incorporate your values, family and ethnic traditions in planning meaninful wedding celebrations. They offer practical advice and personal stories from people who wanted more than the status quo wedding. It also offers ideas for second marriages and vow renewals. Topics include:

Outward Signs of Inward Values: What Matters for Your Wedding?

Create Your Own Ceremony: Beyond "Here Comes the Bride"
