More About The Book
The Knot is a book that guides couples in telling their love story and sharing it in a wedding ceremony. We break down all the elements of the ceremony and show you how to weave them together until there is just one story, your story. And every couple has a different story so, no other wedding will sound like yours.
The Knot also guides pastors and officiants performing the ceremony to easily customize every wedding to meet the specific needs of each couple as they share their love story with everyone. This book will walk you through every element of the ceremony step by step.
