Be in the know about Greek Wedding Traditions

BE IN THE KNOW ABOUT GREEK WEDDING TRADITIONS

Are you planning your Greek wedding, or perhaps you have been given the honour of becoming a Best Man or Matron of Honour.

Then look no further than my book Greek Life that will give you all the information you need!

What you need to know NOW about Greek Weddings

Greek Life – the perfect book to learn about Greek Weddings

Inside you will find the tradition of the Bridal Bread, dressing the Bridal Bed (yes that’s right, rose petals, rice, sugared almonds, gold and silver coins, and few notes too) the responsibility of becoming a koumbaro / koumbara (best man / matron of honour), and why a Greek wedding is steeped in so much symbolism. Your special day will mean so much more when you have the answers to the questions of: What does the Common Cup really mean? What is the meaning behind the crowns?

Greek Life is the perfect book to learn about Greek Weddings and Traditions, and so much more including how to celebrate New Year’s, Easter, Christmas, weddings, births, baptism and farwelling our loved ones.

Greek Life comes complete with beautiful full colour photos (just to add some inspiration), amazing family recipes (yep, they are authentic), and a little philosophy (that’s right…some mind food). Greek Life is the book to have for life!

Visit my website to see the full list of stockists. It’s selling quickly, so best to call and get the bookshop to reserve your copy behind the counter.

If you can’t get your hands on Greek Life in store, then not to worry. Just head to my website where you will find links to purchase the eBook suitable for your electronic device. That means you’ll have Greek Life wherever you are.

You’ll love it, and you too will be ‘in the know’ and learn how to have your own dream Greek Wedding!
