Reading at a wedding

[kick3m0n]

A friend has been asked to do a reading at his brothers wedding early next year. He's a bit nervous but alse, looking for some ideas as to what he could read? Not wanting anything religious really, but any suggestions would be most welcome. Cheers guys xx

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

I like leafing through Gibhran's "The Prophet" for nice readings.

I did a reading at my friends wedding a few years ago. I still have the reading but it's stored away in my loft i think. I'll find it out and post it in the next couple of days......it was a really really nice reading.

Found it.....it goes like this

Today is a day you will always remember
The greatest in anyones life
You'll start the day just two people in love
And you'll end it as husband and wife
It's a brand new beginning, the start of a journey
With moments to cherish and treasure
And although there'll be times when you both disagree
These will surely be outweighed by pleasure

You'll have heard many words of advice in the past
When the secrets of marriage were spoken
But you know that the answers lie hidden inside
Where the bond of true love lies unbroken
So be happy forever as lovers and friends
It's the dream of a new life for you
As you stand there together with love in your eyes
From the moment you whisper "I do"
And with luck all your hopes and dreams can be real
May success find its way to your hearts
Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys
But today is the day it all starts


Hope you like it!

My only other bit of advice would be to tell him to focus on the back of the room whilst reading it, I did that til right the very end then looked at the bride and boy did my voice quiver. So glad you like it, Take care bab xxxx
