Wedding Readings

Hello All,

Everyday I am asked about what is a good reading to do at a wedding and who should do the reading. My reply is that a reading can be anything that you want it to be. Maybe the words to a song, a poem, something from the bible or even a reading from a favorite children's book. One of my favorite readings is from 1 Corinthians 13 (Love is patient love is kind...) it is just so appropriate for the occasion. Do you like the Beatles?? Find a song that fits and lets do the words as a reading. Is you favorite book "The Prophet"?? Then lets get something from there. It can be anything that you want it to be.

Now who should do the reading? I always say that this is a great opportunity to get someone involved in the wedding that maybe would be hurt if they are not asked to do something. Maybe Great Aunt Betty or Uncle Bob or your God Mother. Of course make sure they are comfortable reading in front of a crowd of people and they should be able to be heard - but a microphone will fix that problem.

So do not stress about the reading, go with what you want.

Good Luck and God Bless.... Rev. BB
