Wedding Readings - Selection #3

As I have written before, including a sentimental, meaningful reading in your wedding gives the ceremony more depth. Enjoy another offered selection ; the author of this one is anonymous.

Sooner or Later

Sooner or later we begin to understand that love is more than verses on Valentines and romance in the movies. We begin to know that love is here and now, real and true, the most important thing in our lives. For love is the creator of our favorite memories, and the foundation of our fondest dreams. Love is a promise that is always kept, a fortune that can never be spent, a seed that can flourish in even the most unlikely of places. and a radiance that never fades, this mysterious and magical joy, is the greatest treasure of all - one known only by those who love.

Wedding Readings - Selection #2

Thought I'd share another very thoughtful reading that one might consider to incorporate into the wedding ceremony. This one is by Laura Hendricks, and is entitled:

Love is Friendship Caught Fire
"Love is friendship caught fire; it is quiet mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection, and makes allowances for human weaknesses. Love is content with the present, hopes for the future, and does not brood over the past. It is the day-in and day-out chronicles of irritations, problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories, and working toward common goals. If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you do not have it, no matter what else there is, it is not enough."

I like this one... it is so true.

Wedding Readings - Selection #1

Some couples tell me "we want the ceremony short and quick!" However, the ceremony is the MOST important part of the entire day (in my humble opinion) and so by incorporating a meaningful reading makes for a tad bit more interest.
I will post different readings over the next few weeks, for your consideration. If one strikes you, share with your honey, and then advise your officiant that you'd like it included into the service:

In Marriage
In marriage, walk the path together, side by side whenever possible. Remember to hold each other when it is cold. If the air becomes too close, make a little space so each can breathe. When the path is narrow, pick one to go first. Always be willing to follow; don't be afraid to lead. Trust your partner; trust yourself, for marriage is a journey that leads to great love.
