Diane Warner's Complete Book of Wedding Vows includes a wide variety of traditional wedding vows from countries and culture around the world, along with hundreds of personalized, nontraditional vows—those for second marriages, marriages of older couples, ceremonies of reaffirmation and wedding involving children from previous marriages. Vows with religious variations, those inspired by the classics (Elizabeth Barrett Browning, John Keats, Shakespeare, and many others), even some devoted exclusively to rings are included. And, for the first time in this new edition: Theme wedding vows (including poignant Hand-Fasting ceremony vows and special vows for a Renaissance wedding) and a number of original vows submitted by Diane's many readers.

A comprehensive guide to planning a wedding shower that will be fun and interesting.
