Wedding readings.

Chelsea, on July 27, 2011 at 8:28 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 13

So i was talking with aunt today about having my four little cousins in the wedding. The oldest girl a bridesmaid, the youngest boy a ring bearer, and the youngest girl the flower girl. But i told her i didnt want to leave out the oldest boy, but theres no girls his age in FH or My families so theres no one for him to walk with. She said maybe he can do a reading but i'm having trouble finding a reading for a child who isnt the child of the bride or groom and isnt talking as if their the one getting married. I'm thinking of just writing my own poem for him to read since poetry is something i'm good at but i'm still trying to look for something online. Does anyone got any good ideas?

    How about this one

    If you go to a wedding, here’s what it means

    No one wears trainers and no one wears jeans

    Your best new clothes are all that you wear

    And everyone in your whole family is there

    Even some cousins that you’ve never known

    And the grown-ups all say “Oh, how much you have grown!”

    So everyone’s sitting in one big room

    (except Sally and Richard, the bridge and groom)

    Then all of a sudden things quieten down

    And music starts playing and people turn round

    And really slowly, Sally walks in

    And she’s prettier now than she’s ever been.

    She’s a bridge and she’s really great looking today

    (when normally she looks just kind of okay)

    She walks in and stands with her dad for a while

    As Richard her boyfriend, awaits in the aisle

    His hair is all combed and he’s wearing a tie

    And then Sally’s mum starts to sniffle and cry.

    And now it comes time for the “get-married” part

    The Registrar says that we’re ready to start

    So she talks and she talks about serious things

    Then their friend Chris steps up holding two rings

    He gives one to the groom and the other to the bride

    Then his girlfriend, Janaki pulls him aside.

    Then Sally and Richard kind of look at each other

    And another big sniffle comes from Sally’s mother

    And Sally and Richard put on the wedding rings

    And they talk and they promise each other some things

    They promise that they’ll love each other a lot

    And help one another no matter what

    And be with each other the rest of their life

    Then the Registrar says “Now you are husband and wife”.

    Then everyone’s in such a big happy mood

    And you go to a party with very much food

    Where you dance with some grown-ups and drink some wine

    And then do a conga-dance in one long line

    ‘till Sally and Richard drive off in a car

    and everyone’s thinking how happy they are

    So we all yell goodbye and throw handfuls of rice

    Then the whole thing is over. Weddings are nice

    He doesn't want to hold a sign? I'm having two Ring Bearers... one to carry the ring box and another the sign right before I walk out. I've seen cute signs online.. one saying "here comes the bride", and another, "this is your last time to run" ... you can customize them. I figured it was something unique and different.

    I think the poem is really cute. Much better for a child to read than some mushy "Love Is" poem, and I would think your guests would appreciate hearing it better than a love poem.

    Today, on your wedding day, I would like you to listen with your heart, these words from Winnie the Pooh.

    "If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear."

    (pause)

    "I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time."

    (pause)

    If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart.. I’ll always be with you.

    (pause)

    "How do you spell 'love'?" - Piglet asks.

    "You don't spell it...you feel it." - Pooh replies.

    (pause)

    "Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh?" he whispered.

    "Yes, Piglet?"

    "Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be sure of you."

    So Grab each other's hands, and "Be sure"

    I think this would be cute too...

    Robert Fulghum's "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten"

    Share Everything. Play fair. Use your Words. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Say you're sorry when you hurt someone. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Live a balanced life- learn some, think some, draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day. And remember, when you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.

    I am having my goddaughter do a reading for us, but we chose from the biblical readings our church gave us to choose from, so unless you are having a religious ceremony, my experience may not be applicable.
