All celebrations of love are like little dramas, needing the right scenes, the right script, the right players. Celebrating Love's Special Moments is all about taking the event and placing it in the right context, with the appropriate accoutrements, to allow the players to make of it something to remember. It deals with both formal and informal celebrations that surround love, whether expressed as a legal commitment, such as a wedding, or an emotional one such as retirement.
To the old well -known occasions have been added a few innovations, including the celebration of separation when disillusioned partners are ready to break away; perhaps even willing to search out another love. So, wherever the readers happen to be in life right now - in love and loving it!, married and deliriously happy at it, bringing home a bundle of joy and amazed at their cleverness at producing it, separating and ready for self-discovery - this book is for them.
Whether rich or poor, young or mature, party animal or just animal, this book will show how to celebrate love as an individualist, how to celebrate it as a traditionalist, and how to enjoy it irrespective.
