• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The true story of Amish romance. While fiction lovers may find Amish romance novels beguiling, the surprising true story of Amish courtship, weddings and marriage unfolds in a new, richly researched book that strives to portray the Plain community with respect and authenticity. Author Beth Oberholtzer introduces real Amish couples in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, inviting readers into the entire process of Amish courtship as well as the inner workings of a daylong wedding event like no other. Amish Weddings offers a true insider's look--through stories, history, and evocative photos--into the community-wide "making" of an Amish wedding. Personal stories from brides and grooms, attendants, servers, paper ladies, ushers, hostlers, and others provide a window into a unique celebration that honors the couple while enveloping them in their community of faith. In addition to photos from actual Amish weddings, menus and recipes enjoyed by generations of celebrants offer a front-row seat to a fascinating and unique ritual that is supported by a vast community.
