Weddings by Design

A uniquely entertaining and eclectic sourcebook for designing a wedding ritual or personalizing a traditional ceremony, "Weddings By Design" is an essential resource for modern couples. Drawing from the world's treasury of matrimonial traditions, Richard Leviton distills the cultural, mythical, and spiritual aspects of such diverse traditions as the rites of Moroccan tribes to the practices of nineteenth-century Norwegians--including several complete ceremonies--to help couples create their own world cultural wedding.
