A Bride's Book of Wedding Traditions

Rating:
Summary: The best book of wedding traditions in its genre
Review: A Bride's Book of Wedding Traditions is quite well-written. The smooth prose presents information in a clear and concise format while informing the bride-to-be/reader of the symbolism behind familiar wedding traditions, and introducing traditions from other cultures. Covers areas from engagement to betrothal, to honeymooning to happily-ever-after. Contains wedding superstitions, examines new traditions as well as including an assortment of wedding readings. The bibliography is extensive and representative of the topics discussed within the text

Summary: Buy it used, if at all!
Review: The book has some wedding history in it, but I would not purchase this book again. From the title and an Amazon.com search, I anticipated more cultural traditions, and while there are a few intertwined in the writing, they are not clearly defined. Everyone is different, so I hope that if you do purchase this book, you find something useful in it! I gave it 2 stars for an easy read.
