She offers the first comprehensive account of lesbian and gay weddings in modern America. A series of richly detailed profiles - the result of extensive interviews and participation in the planning and realization of many of these commitment rituals - is woven together to show how new traditions, and ultimately new families, are emerging within contemporary America. Lewin explores the ceremonies themselves, which range from traditional church weddings to Wicca rituals in the countryside, with portraits of the planning, the joys, and the anxieties that led up to the weddings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45268713996439,"sku":"9780231103923","price":6800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780231103923.webp?v=1769236426","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/recognizing-ourselves-ceremonies-of-lesbian-and-gay-commitment-9780231103923","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
