It sustains me now and it reflects changes in our society. Her writing is breezy and sparkles. She speaks directly to a newly engaged couple, who she consistently calls "the beloveds. Includes resources for interfaith couples, LGBTQ couples, new art, new poetry while retaining the best of the older editions.

Now I smile remembering time spent with wedding couples at Mayyim Hayyim. I will again buy multiple copies of this book to give to wedding couples.

The book is mostly focused on the main checklist, without covering particular traditions and community rules, but such a particular focus would have divert from the main aim which is The Jewish Wedding in general, and not specific Jewish wedding s.
