Joining Hands and Hearts, Interfaith, Intercultural Wedding Celebrations

I wrote Joining Hands and Hearts, Interfaith, Intercultural Wedding Celebrations to help couples from every walk of life create personalized wedding ceremonies that are completely reflective of who they are, what they feel and believe. I wrote it for their officiants as well.  My book will show you how to make your ceremony a love story-- where you and your guests walk away moved and inspired.  Joining Hands and Hearts is step by step guide. It features the readings, scripted rituals, vows, blessings, prayers and quotes from 14 religions and dozens of cultures around the world.  There is a wealth of humanist and universal elements as well.  Language is adapted so that it inclusive and speaks to all hearts.  I have gathered the best of time honored traditions and added creative ideas that are personal, modern and relevant. Included are wonderful ways to honor and include family members and friends.  There is tender counsel to help navigate sensitive family issues that may arise. The focus is love. There are real-life love stories and sample ceremonies. Joining Hands and Hearts has been influential in changing how ceremonies are done, and remains the primer for creating meaningful interfaith, intercultural wedding ceremonies that will resonate long after the ceremony is done.
