The Picador Book of Wedding Poems is not just a pocket-sized Cyrano de Bergerac for the romantically tongue-tied: it is a veritable dictionary of all the ways in which love can be declared. If youre in the first throes of new love, need to put a relationship to the test, or have reached the point of a great affirmation or commitment, youll find a poem here beautifully fitted to the occasion. This is an ideal book when a speech whether public or private has to be made, an instant cure for love-letter writers block, and the perfect companion on those lonely evenings when we need our strongest emotions put into words written by the greatest poets in the language.

Poor production - difficult to turn pages. Poor paper. Also disliked choice of poems.Some poems far from ideal for someone about to get married. Not a patch on Nations Favourite Love Poems. Wouldn't buy again
Is ok but I thought that there would be more querky poems not so many tradional poems. Was wanting ideas for Father of the Bride speech and this book has more romantic poems.
Poems were not what I expected and many were not appropriate for reading at a wedding ceremony! I've found more beautiful and romantic poetry through the internet.
