Great reference! Answered all my questions about Jewish weddings
My fiance and I are currently in the process of planning our wedding. One of us was raised Jewish but not following tradition strictly, and the other was raised with no connection to Judaism, so we had a lot of basic questions such as "What is a ketubah and how does it work?" and "Which parts of the Jewish wedding ceremony are required by Jewish law/tradition?" This book answers all the basic questions, as well as many questions that we hadn't even thought to ask!

Possibly the best guide to planning a Jewish wedding
This book is filled with great information for every aspect of creating a Jewish wedding. It is not about caterers and hotels. It is about understanding tradition and gives excellent examples of how to meld individual style with the aspects that make a wedding, a Jewish wedding...starting with engagement. My daughter and I are reading it together, as we plan her wedding. Very helpful to us both.
