The Wisdom of Weddings combines original insight with gorgeous photos. Written by an award-winning author, The Wisdom of Weddings distills the heartfelt moments of that special day into messages that can guide our lives. Opulent photos enhance these original sayings in a full-color book that makes a perfect gift. Weddings are as unique as the couple reciting their vows. The ceremony can take place at wedding venues at a tropical beach paradise, in a glittery Las Vegas chapel, or during a festival like Burning Man. The excitement sparked by this singularly important milestone is always carried on waves of joy. Whether the wedding invitations are printed or handwritten, whether the wedding dress and the bridal shoes are fancy or plain, the profound meaning of this single day is never-ending. The groom and his best man, the bridesmaids, the wedding photographer, and even the wedding planner find insights during the preparations, the shared joy, and the whirlwind of delight that imbues our lives with heartfelt passion. Our days become happier, and our hearts grow big enough to envelop the world. An elegant collection for every bride, bridesmaid, couple, and anyone seeking a more meaningful life, The Wisdom of Weddings celebrates a soulful outlook that can make us happier, healthier, more joyful, and more loving. The softcover edition uses a single-page layout for an affordable price point. The hardcover edition displays each saying across a beautiful two-page spread with the color photo on the righthand page, making it the perfect gift.
