Reference Guide

I gave this book as an engagement gift. There are some humorous items, for example, how to light a unity candle without setting your veil on fire. It also has a good list of readings and hymns for weddings that are not widely used or suggested. To me that list was worth buying the book. It gives good advice about communication, compromise and making the decisions that come up and continue when you get engaged and the first year of marriage without being preachy or dry. Everything has a dose of good humor behind it.

Very funny and helpful

Gives good ideas on how to plan a Lutheran wedding with do's and dont's. Mostly give insight into how to deal with your in-laws.
