Ceremony Readings Presbyterian Wedding

We didn't have any specific requirements for our reading - our minister was fine with whatever we wanted. We used Matthew 19:5-6 and Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12. So one was from each testament, but that wasn't intentional. I would talk to your officiant if your considered about the specific requirements.

We're not having a church wedding, so we have more flexibility on which readings and how long. We haven't decided on our readings yet, but at least 1 will come from the bible (we will have either 1 or 2 guest readers). Anyway, I'm following this for some ideas!

All of Song of Songs would definitely be too long!!

Check with your specific church, b/c they will all have different rules. They should also be able to give you a list of suggestions. Generally, for a Presbyterian wedding they will probably want you to pick FOUR: 1 from the Old Testament, 1 from Psalms, 1 from Epistles, and 1 from Gospels.

We are meeting with our officiant Thursday so I'm sure she'll go over it then.

I have no idea how many. I will meet with pastor and decide on how many from there. I know I want 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and Matthew 19:5-6

All of song of songs is not only too long, but it's pretty racy for a church wedding. Paul's letter to the Corinthians is a real fave. Ask your officiant about how many and where from.

Does anyone know if it's okay to pick only certain sections for a reading. i.e. Could I mix Song of Songs 4 1-4 and 6 1-6?
