Introduction

This is a version of the wedding program I designed for my wedding in LaTeX, with copyright-infringing material like music removed and all names changed to protect privacy. It took a lot of work and I'm really proud of it, so I'm happy to let anyone else use and modify it!

The Makefile should build things if you have TeX Live and lilypond installed on a Linux system; I don't know about other platforms. I'm happy to answer any questions.

I've included the PDF as it builds on my system so you can see how it looks if you have build issues.

Printing

We used smartpress.com for our printing and would recommend them. Here are the relevant details for our booklet printing:

Cover Stock: Linen - White Cover Weight: 70# Text Interior Pages Stock: Uncoated Smooth Interior Pages Weight: 80# Text Cover printing, outside: Full Color Cover printing, inside: None Pages Printing: Full Color Finished Size in Inches (W x H): 5.5 x 8.5 Binding: Saddle Stitch

With the original music and some blank filler pages, our program came out to 16 pages (including covers). You'll want a multiple of 4 for a proper printing.

Music

The actual music itself has been replaced with dummy music, which causes the spacing issues you might notice. We used OneLicense.net for most of our licensing issues and LicenSing for one other (I think it was the Servant Song).

We used the Mass of Creation music for most standard parts, and the Gregorian version of the Our Father (which I've also heard called the Robert Snow version; not sure which is technically correct).

If you can find a full copy of the Roman Missal, it has music for most of the standard songs.

Fonts

We used Edwardian Script for the calligraphy parts, but since that has a more restricted copyright, I've changed that here to use the calligra package.

The divider decoration came from the wmdividers1 font, found here: http://www.fontspace.com/willymac/wmdividers1/20578.charmap

Derived Programs

You may find these other programs based on mine to be useful, too:

If you use my code to make your own program, I'd be happy to add you to this list!
