Wedding ceremony readings

Hey ladies!  Not sure if any of you guys remember me mentioning but my sister is getting married this July 4th.  She is looking for non-religious readings.  She doesn't want to reuse mine so I figured I'd ask you ladies for your suggestions!

Re: Wedding ceremony readings

  • I will always recommend Khalil Gibran. He has a lot of great passages about love and marriage that work really well as readings.

  • We used e.e.cumming's poem I Carry Your Heart with Me. Completely non-religious. 

    We also used 3 wedding blessings: an Irish one, a Polish one, and an Italian one...those were slightly more religious but still mostly secular.

  • I believe it was achiduck who I originally got this off of, but we used Union by Robert Fulghum. It was beautiful.

    We used that too! Our officiant read that just before we said our vows. It was beautiful and so appropriate just before our vows.

  • We used Pablo Neruda's 69th Sonnet and people loved it. We also used the passage everyone uses from I Corinthians ha.

    we used this and the Apache Wedding Blessing.  She wants to stay away from what we used.  

     

    Thanks for the suggestions ladies! 

  • We used Union too!!  We also used the Blessing of the Cardinal Directions, (aka Blessing of the Four Directions).
