Wedding reading inspiration

maggie111

Anyone any idea where there is a site with loads on?

And what are you girls (and boys) having?

I was just trying to find the reading that my parents had at their wedding and I came across this site

http://www.nz-wedding.info/index.php/wedding-verses-readings

If any of you are also looking for inspiration!

And this is the reading I would like to have at my civil ceremony

Now you will feel no rain,
For each of you will be shelter for the other.

Now you will feel no cold,
For each of you will be warmth to the other,

Now there will be no loneliness,
For each of you will be companion to the other.

Now you are two persons,
But there is only one life before you.

May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead,
And through all the years,
May happiness be your companion,
And your days together be good and long upon the earth.

Oops, I'm in tears just reading it!

I have a whole book of readings for weddings - separated into religious/non religious.
If you tell me the sort of thing you're looking for, I will look and see what's in there.

Aww thanks Dizzie!! Something fun and quirky - but for a long time the "funny" wedding readings I've seen haven't appealed to me much

ok - Will have a look over the next day or so and see what I find - if they don't apply to you, they might help someone else..!

I've spent a long time looking at them on here because there are so many of them! It does mean looking through all of the pages though because they're not at all in an order, but there are some nice ones on there

I'm halfway through only page one and LOVING that link! Thank you! I felt that I just kept rereading the same passages, and there are loads there I haven't read!

Thank you!!!

I can't get off that thread!! It's brilliant, thank you. I love the post that says something like 'that one made me cry, I'm using it' It pretty much sums it up :rotfl:

Time in a bottle - Jim Croyce

“If I could save time in a bottle, the first thing that I'd like to do, is to save every day ‘till eternity passes away, just to spend them with you. If I could make days last forever; if words could make wishes come true; I'd save every day like a treasure and then, again, I would spend them with you. If I had a box just for wishes, and dreams that had never come true; the box would be empty, except for the memory of how they were answered by you. But there never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do, once you find them. I've looked around enough to know that you're the one I want to go through time with.”

Louise Cuddon - I'll be there

I'll be there my darling, through thick and through thin
When your mind's in a mess and your head's in a spin
When your plane's been delayed, and you've missed the last train.
When life is just threatening to drive you insane
When your thrilling whodunit has lost its last page
When somebody tells you, you're looking your age
When your coffee's too cool, and your wine is too warm
When the forecast said "Fine", but you're out in a storm
When your quick break hotel, turns into a slum
And your holiday photos show only your thumb
When you park for five minutes in a resident's bay
And return to discover you've been towed away
When the jeans that you bought in hope or in haste
Just stick on your hips and don't reach round your waist
When the food you most like brings you out in red rashes
When as soon as you boot up the bloody thing crashes
So my darling, my sweetheart, my dear...
When you break a rule, when you act the fool
When you've got the flu, when you're in a stew
When you're last in the queue, don't feel blue
'cause I'm telling you, I'll be there

James Fenton - Hinterhof

Stay near to me and I’ll stay near to you -
As near as you are dear to me will do,
Near as the rainbow to the rain,
The west wind to the windowpane,
As fire to the hearth, as dawn to dew.
Stay true to me and I’ll stay true to you -
As true as you are new to me will do,
New as the rainbow in the spray,
Utterly new in every way,
New in the way that what you say is true.
Stay near to me, stay true to me. I’ll stay
As near, as true to you as heart could pray.
Heart never hoped that one might be
Half of the things you are to me -
The dawn, the fire, the rainbow and the day
