older couples, ceremonies of reaffirmation and weddings involving children from previous marriages.

There are also chapters that offer vows with religious variations, vows inspired by the classics and one devoted solely to ring vows. And just for fun, I've also sprinkled a few ''up close and personal" love stories throughout the book that not only include the couples' personalized vows, but how they met and fell in love.

You'll find that today's vows are written in three different ways: question-answer format; monologue format; or the very popular dialogue format, in which the bride and groom alternate phrases. As you consider the vows offered in this book, you may select one of them as your own, or you may, as the majority of couples prefer to do, use them to whet your creative juices as you write your own unique vows to each other.

Because this book contains the largest compilation of vows ever assembled, it should be read slowly and savored thoughtfully, and it may help if you highlight the words, phrases or complete vow segments you especially like as you read along. This will make it easier for you to choose your favorite vow or to create your own. You'll see what I mean as you're reading along and certain phrases just seem to click as you say to yourself, "Yes! That's exactly the way I feel deep down in my heart."

I want your wedding to be special! God bless you as you plan it and especially as you write your vows, the most important and precious part of your ceremony.
