Unlike other wedding books, this one is for both of you, not just for the bride. As a society we are just beginning to appreciate and honor the equality of man and woman in marriage. It is time that weddings reflect this equality, not only by eliminating or altering those parts of the ceremony that slight a woman's dignity but also by encouraging the man's participation in planning and in being fully part of the celebration itself. We also wrote this book for people who are searching for something more for their wedding. Not more as in bigger, grander, or more lavish, but more as in more meaningful, gracious, and sacred. We approach a wedding less as a production to be orchestrated according to a complex and often outdated etiquette and more as a public celebration of a personal commitment, an event that is social and intimate, holy and joyful. The most successful weddings, to our way of thinking, are marked by hospitality, graciousness, and inclusivity. Wedding celebrations "work" when everyone present feels brought together--even bound together--in an active, holy, and deeply satisfying undertaking. This book builds on these basic assumptions: A wedding is for a day, a marriage lasts a lifetime. A wedding is a spiritual event, a sacred threshold to a new life together. A wedding is a ritual celebrated by a community. A Lifelong Marriage Your wedding is important and will certainly give you a lifetime of memories. Planning it deserves your full attention.
