ceremony reading?

is anyone having poetry read? if so, which ones?

Re: ceremony reading?

That's a nice idea!
I think I have to have bible verses read, but I'm not sure. Are you getting married in a Catholic Church?

Yippee a fellow Hamlet bride!!!!

i am getting married at a methodist church. It was actually my fiance's idea to have a poem or literary piece as the first reading... it will be read by my cousin and we're having his cousin read a biblical passage before the sermonette.

I was actually going to look at the Windwatch- I LOVE the Hyatt!!!! And I LOVE the idea of my guests walking to the after party!

DH and I each picked one reading for our ceremony. This is what he picked.

Maybe nothingness is to be without your presence,
without you moving, slicing the noon
like a blue flower, without you walking
later through the fog and the cobbles,

without the light you carry in your hand,
golden, which maybe others will not see,
which maybe no one knew was growing
like the red beginnings of a rose.

In short, without your presence: without your coming
suddenly, incitingly, to know my life,
gust of a rosebush, wheat of wind:

since then I am because you are,
since then you are, I am, we are,
and through love I will be, you will be, we'll be.

I used to work at the Hamlet Wind Watch and we would get to eat the leftovers from golf outings and such and I can honestly tell you that the food is very good.

Re: ceremony reading?

I want to do poetry instead of traditional readings as well! I was also looking for some ideas or places to find some poems....

Re: ceremony reading?

I love the idea although, the catholic church probably doesn't allow it right? anyone know???? I am having an after party at the Hyatt...... I love the bar there.. we are a day wedding so we have plenty of time!!!

Re: ceremony reading?

I'm still looking. If you run a google search for 'wedding ceremony readings' you will get a bunch of hits. I have it narrowed down to three. All of them on my home computer, not here at work.

No, not yet, but my mom is hasseling me to schedule it! I am a vegetarian, so the tasting is wasted on me...
