User reviewsFinding the Right Rite 
By Sindy Littleton, Boston, MA About to be married and looking for the perfect guide for a traditional and unique wedding? This is the book for you! My partner and I ordered Wedding Rites from the Universal Life Church's bookstore and it has been so incredibly helpful. A mixed faith marriage, my partner and I combined the traditional vow and ceremonies of our family's faiths and designed a one of a kind wedding plan. This book helped us blend the traditions so beautifully that my partner's devout, Catholic mother forgot all about her misgivings over it not being in a Cathedral. Michael P Foley has done such a beautiful job with this wedding guide. My wedding wouldn't have been the same without it and our families were both so happy we incorporated our family's traditions into a ceremony I will treasure for the rest of my life.
