Hi Ladies,

So we had our first pre-marital counseling session last week with Dr. Goode (*SUCH* a nice man BTW). We briefly touched on our ideas of the ceremony and we mentioned wanting to make a special place for FH son...

I previously posted about this and had thought about involving him in the sand/water ceremony, but the fact is I'm not sold on those ceremonies either...

Dr. Good suggested he read a poem or piece of Scripture. I LOVE this idea but need some inspiration or suggestions on places to go for inspiration.

FH is not super religious, but his family is, and I wouldn't mind scripture either, but I want to respect him so as long as it isn't too "preach-y" I'm sure it would speak to him too...

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, TIA ladies

BTW--FH son is 12 and very well spoken and polite

Aw! Love the idea of involving him. I know it's on of the standard readings but I love the "love is patient..."

I had the Mr. Rogers song "It's You I Like" read as one of our readings (though I changed things around...like swapped the word like for love)

It's you I love,
It's not the things you wear,
It's not the way you do your hair--
But it's you I love.
The way you are right now,
The way down deep inside you--
Not the things that hide you,
Not your diplomas--
They're just beside you.

But it's you I love--
Every part of you,
Your skin, your eyes, your feelings
Whether old or new.
I hope that you'll remember
Even when you're feeling blue
That it's you I love,
It's you yourself,
It's you, it's you I love.

I'm not super religious though, so I don't think I can help much beyond this. My other niece read Winnie The Pooh love-isms ... which was super sweet as well

You could make a vow to him and give him a token of family unity.
