Annotation:

 This website is from March 2004 and it is current, but there are more recent articles.  It is compiled by Ellen Terrell, Business Reference Services. It provides statistics, commercial cites, articles and magazines.  It seems very opinionated and advertising marriage. The creator of the website is trying to sell marriage by providing all the wedding detailed aids.
