Readings can add to the solemnity of an occasion, or provide a welcome moment of light relief. In civil weddings, they add colour and individuality to the formulaic; in religious venues, they provide a breath of worldliness that non-religious people can relate to. Above all, readings underline the importance of your day by articulating the deep values underlying your momentous decision to marry.

Customer Reviews

A compact book full of valuable wedding words
A small book containing readings for religious and non religious ceremonies. The passages included give a refreshing change from those that are offered by your minister and may give a more spiritual aspect to your ceremony. For civil ceremionies the book is perfect beacuse it saves you hours of looking through hundreds of books to find the perfect words.
A verh helpful little book if you are moving away from the traditional wedding format and want something more personal. A good buy for every bride.

Some good readings for all types of ceremony
This has readings for all types of ceremony, with advice on the kinds of things you can use for certain ceremonies.

Its only downfall is that it is very small and took me about 15 minutes to get through the whole book. I would suggest it would be good as a gift for a bride-to-be to look through, but if you're looking for some serious reading, you may want to consider something a bit thicker!

The actual readings are very heartfelt and meaningful, so they have obviously taken the time to put together a collection of the best readings they could find.

Overall, I had hoped for a little more in the way of quantity, but the quality is excellent.

Wedding Readings
They say great things come in small packages and this is no exception. It doesn't matter how many books about wedding readings we read we never quite found a verse that said what we wanted to say exactly. If you are having a religous ceremony there is the pick of the best but also some very good verses that compliment a religious service and can be understood by all. Nothing ventured nothing gained, and if you're getting married...have a fabulous day!!
