45 Romantic Wedding Readings for your Wedding Ceremony
Wedding readings are meant to share the couple’s idea of love and marriage with their closest friends and family. Readings can include all different texts with all different meanings. Your wedding readings can be sweet or funny, long or short, it really depends on what you as a couple would like.
the wedding reading should have a special meaning to the couple and describe the feelings they have towards one another. Many times, the wedding readings are private and hold a meaning only understood by the couple. This does not mean that the reading has to be sad or profoundly romantic; in fact, many times, the readings are funny and entertaining. Choosing a passage by someone who writes in such a way is a good way to keep the attention of the audience, as many readings are done before the couple says their vows.
As mentioned before, the readings you choose for your wedding should be special to you as a couple. When you first start looking, think of readings you know. Is there some particular reading or poem that you like? Are there authors or essayists that you and your future spouse like? If so, start by looking at material written by that person. If not, don’t worry about it. There are plenty of wedding websites that can help you find the right reading.
Readings are traditionally read by trusted close friends and family or even the bride and groom to each other. There are strict guidelines on what is acceptable and must be secular to follow the theme of a non-religious ceremony. Each registrar may have differing views on what has religious connotations and what doesn’t – Robbie Williams “Angels” was deemed to be religious at one point – so it is very important to check with the registrars office, rather than be disappointed on the day. Each ceremony has time for a couple of readings if they are of suitable length. You may be able to include more if they are short. Your local registrars will have a list of approved music and words, but if you are choosing something off their approved list you will need to provide the registrar with your chosen content for their approval before the wedding day.
