Sibling ceremony reading dilemma

OK, so FH and I both have two siblings. My sister is my MOH, and my brother is doing a reading at our ceremony. FH's brother is estranged, so, not coming. (FH's choice, everything is fine.) I keep asking FH if he wants his sister (whom he is very close to) to do a reading, or something, and his only answer is "sure." He doesn't want to ask her, and he says she should read "whatever she wants."

Should i just be more assertive and ask her myself? And should I have a list of suggestions?

I think you should ask her yourself. nothing wrong with that. As for the suggested readings list, I think it might be helpful for the FSIL unless she can find something that you all can agree on that you all like better!

Yes, ask her. I would probably choose the reading so it is aligned with the rest of the message in the ceremony. Perhaps ask your officiant, they usually reference the readings when speaking.

Ideally FH would ask, but you certainly can as well if FH knows you are going to and has no objection. I would give her a reading or a short list to choose from so that it is within your vision of your wedding.
