Wedding services for Christians  Feb 19, 2007
This book contains a variety of services for different Christian denominations: Baptist, Christian and Missionary Alliance, Episcopalian, Evangelical, Lutheran, Methodist (including The Free Methodist Church of North America and The Wesleyan Church), Presbyterian, and Reformed (Christian Reformed Church and Reformed Church in America). There are a few alterate wedding ceremonies, including two versions of a "contemporary" service and a service in recognition of a Civil Marriage. All are Christian.

One of the useful features of the ceremonies is that they are broken down into sections. Here is one example: Prelude, Music, Lighting of Candles, Processional, Welcome, Invocation, Readings, Parting from Parents, Declaration of Intent, Exchange of Vows, Exchange of Rings, Lighting of Unity Candle, Pronouncement of Marriage, Benediction, Introduction of Newlyweds. This makes it easier to create customized ceremonies by adding, skipping, or changing the order of certain sections.

Some alternative vows and wedding prayers are offered, in the event that the bride and groom want to make these sections more personal by choosing their favorite. Suggestions for wedding music are given. A sample checklist is included, to be used by the pastor or minister when working with the bride and groom to plan the wedding. And, an example is given for the proper ettiquette for the positioning of the bride, groom, and attendants during the processional.
 
Pastor Resources  Aug 7, 2006
I found this book to be good for Christian denomination weddings. It covers a wide range of these. However, it excludes a non-denominational or non-religious wedding. Nonetheless, for someone conducting a wedding, it will provide you with some great ideas about different facets of the ceremony.
 
Don't plan a wedding without it!  Aug 15, 2001
Engle's book is a must-have resource for anyone planning a wedding. When the pastor marrying us asked us what we wanted in our vows, we had no idea. Baker's Wedding Handbook gives information on nearly every denomination from Baptist to Reformed. The section for each denomination not only lists tradtional vows for that denomination, but includes traditional wedding hymns and prayers typically used. In the second section of the book, Engle presents more contemporary wedding traditions, including several for second marriages. Meditations for wedding ceremonies are included in the final section of the book. The meditations are beautiful!
 
Perfect planning guide to wedding ceremonies!  Dec 13, 1999
This handbook includes an assortment of denominational styles for wedding ceremonies. The ideas in it help in selecting vows, music, scripture, order of worship, and other elements to include in the ceremony. Helpful for couples planning their wedding ceremony and ideal for pastors that perform the wedding ceremony.
