Samenvatting:
TODAY'S COUPLES AND THE CELEBRATIONS THEY CHOOSE COME IN MANY VARIETIES
The Heart of Wedding reconnects the marriage ritual to our twenty-first century lives. Gerald Fierst, celebrant, poet, and storyteller, fills chapter after chapter with examples of ceremonies showing that weddings need not be Victorian relics, but can be filled with a sense of fun and adventure, as well as common sense. Acknowledging our multi-cultural nation where people of every race, Faith, and heritage meet and marry, this book celebrates the new America, respecting tradition while finding a contemporary voice to say I do. Gerry brings to this book the same care, precision and artistry I have seen him bring to all of his projects. By connecting lifes passages with a larger vision of humanity past, present and future Gerry shows us a way to celebrate our families and ourselves. --Susan OHalloran, Director, RaceBridges, Chicago Illinois
