"God is the silent partner in all great enterprises."
-- Abraham Lincoln
"In the months before our wedding, I searched the shelves of my favorite bookstores for a wedding book that I never found: A book that would celebrate my joy and acknowledge my fears. A book that would be a silent friend that wouldn't overwhelm me with week-by-week checklists and endless pictures of table settings. . . . I knew that before I began organizing the most important event of my life, I needed to organize my heart."
Inviting God to Your Wedding is not just about planning for an event. It's about preparing for a miracle. Written with honesty, wisdom, and humor by Touched By An Angel Executive Producer Martha Williamson, with a special chapter for men by her husband and Co-Executive Producer Jon Andersen, this inspiring book is a "wedding handbook" for your spirit and your soul.
Funny, thought-provoking, and thoroughly useful, it is filled with ideas, suggestions, and commonsense advice that focus on the most important aspect of every wedding: the coming together of a man and a woman "in the sight of God." From wedding showers to the wedding night, this personal workbook will help create a three-way partnership with God from the start, one that will sustain couples in times of crisis as well as triumph and joy.
Inviting God to Your Wedding will become an encouraging handbook of comfort, and celebration in the weeks and months before your wedding, and a treasured book of memories throughout your marriage.

Martha Williamson, the executive producer of the hit television series Touched By An Angel found herself in a spiritual dilemma when she began planning her wedding. Although she saw numerous books that told her how much money to spend, how many guests to invite, and offered mind-boggling check lists, she could not find a book that talked about how to create a wedding that celebrated the union before God. What soon became clear to Williamson is that she wasn't interested in elaborate theme weddings, staged performances or even tasteful displays of wealth. She wanted to create a wedding that invited God's presence. "Because when God is there suddenly all your priorities are in order," she writes.
This is indeed an excellent resource for getting prenuptial priorities straight. Chapters include "The Myth of the Dream Wedding" and "I Don't Want a Religious Wedding", where Williamson explains that God can be present even without a religious structure. In "Dousing Old Flames and Severing Soul Ties", Williamson discusses letting go of those deep ties to old lovers in order to be fully present with your new beloved. These are the kind of warm and honest discussions we might have with our dearest, wisest aunts. Fortunately, Williamson is here to hold the hand of every bride who is looking for more than prom-glitz and theme galas and is instead seeking amore authentic and sacred union. --Gail Hudson
