find a reading for a wedding ceremony
It's interesting:"'I used your site to create my wedding speech. ... 'Chaps, just got to say a huge thanks for the help your site gave me preparing for my brother's wedding. As best ..."
A ceremony reading is a piece of prose or poetry that is read aloud during the wedding ceremony. It can be religious or secular in nature and is usually read by a close friend or family member who is not in the wedding party as a way to honor said family member or friend.
Instructions
1
Look for readings that have a special meaning to you as a couple. You are the focus of the day and therefore the readings should completely reflect who you are and what you believe in.
2
Be appropriate and true to the formality of your ceremony. Comedy is great but may not be a good idea for a formal wedding, at least during the ceremony readings.
3
Know the rules of the church you are holding your ceremony in. Some churches are very strict with what you can read, so be respectful and ask before you spring a reading on your church. If you are having a ceremony in a place other than a church, it is open ended on what you decide.
4
Use love as your major focus and look to the great love stories you have read and pick passages from them.
5
Pick your favorite poem or sonnet.
6
Ask your friends, family and officiate for advice on suggested readings. They might have an idea that you would not have thought of.
7
Be creative, write your own reading.
