For all our days : a collection of wedding readings

2020
Books, Manuscripts
With an elegant and timeless package, this collection of readings is a must-have for any couple planning their wedding. The readings range from the romantic, traditional, and religious - such as Shakespearean sonnets, biblical verses, or passages from the Qu'ran - to the modern, fresh, and humorous - such as popular song lyrics, the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage, or an excerpt from a stand-up comedy routine - ensuring that there's something that appeals to everyone. Engaged couples will enjoy perusing these pages in search of the perfect reading, and the thoroughly romantic presentation - with a textural, foil-stamped cover and satin bookmark - makes this anthology a lovely keepsake for newlyweds long after their wedding is over.
