Synopsis

If you're like the many couples that have needs and desires that cannot be met by conventional ceremonies, I DO was written just for you. Whether you're celebrating an interfaith or intercultural union, a second or third marriage, a same-sex marriage, or a commitment ceremony, you can make your special day a walk down the aisle less traveled. Drawing on the author's experience designing and performing wedding celebrations, I DO is a creative, accessible guide that helps you devise a ritual that is as unique as you are. I DO explains the traditions behind the well-known elements of a wedding-the bridal veil, the exchange of rings, the cake, the vows-and then offers inspired alternatives drawn from a wide range of cultures including ancient Greece and Persia, pagan Europe, and Elizabethan England. Step-by-step instructions and planning guides are included to help you create your own personal event that incorporates the symbols and words most meaningful to you.
