User reviewsA Good Place to Place Your Trust When Writing Your Vows 
By Michelle Davidson, Boston, MA Are you planning your own wedding but don't know what the first step is? I found myself in the same situation several months ago but luckily ordered The Knot Guide to Wedding Vows and Tradition. This wedding guide has information on everything you'll need to know about performing a ceremony: vows, the rings, the readings, giving thanks, unifying rituals, the religious and spiritual rituals, the music, the dances, the speeches, and the all of the toasts that your friends and family will be giving you. I was not prepared for how much more a wedding would require, other than inviting the right people and writing my own vows. I've thought about my wedding everyday since and I can't stress how important it was to me that everything turned out as beautifully as it did. You only get one chance to get it right and to make sure you do pick up this book!
