An Extremely Well Rounded Book

If ever there was one, this is a well rounded book. It takes the subject of marriage, and encompasses not only many different situations surrounding it, but also many of the emotions involved. It is a brilliant compilation of many pieces of literature. And the reader not worry about too much saccharine. This book takes some of the best pieces of literature ever written, and extracts the prose applicable to weddings. What results is a beautiful collection of poetry and prose that cupid himself would be excessively fond of.
