What are you having for readings?

FH and I are having a ceremony at a hotel ballroom. We both decided that we wanted the "traditional" format of 2 readings, but we did not want the traditional readings.

FH and I are having a ceremony at a hotel ballroom. We both decided that we wanted the "traditional" format of 2 readings, but we did not want the traditional readings. We are having a hard time picking the readings. We found a quote from "How I Met Your Mother"- which was our show when we first started dating, that I think we will use for one. I like the "Game of Thrones" reading that Celia has shared, but FH and I do not watch that show and would prefer something that has some meaning to us. Something a litte funny would be nice. My fave book it To Kill a Mockingbird and his is the Great Gatsby- not the best love stories... We mostly watch crime shows on Investigation Discovery like Homicide Hunter... We do have a dog but the dog reading is a lot about city living and we live in a very small town in NH...

I may be overthinking this, but I am really trying to find some good quotes or a reading that fits us as a couple. Would love to hear what others have done or are planning to do.

    "Love is the great mystery that no clues can solve, that cannot be found by footprints or fingerprints nor can logic decode. This is what makes it so maddening, so illusive and so deliciously rewarding when found and captured."

    I love the sentiment, I think it is so beautiful! I think it is the word petitioner that gets me. When I first heard it I was like this has to be at our wedding!

    @Celia I love that!

    FutureMrsD We did read it out loud a few times before we decided how much of it worked for us. When I read it on 6/26 I knew immediately that I wanted it, we just had to chose the right excerpt. Plus, technically we are petitioning to get married...a bit of a stretch but we like it.

    We're still a couple years away from our wedding, but we're planning to have an excerpt from "The Little Prince" as one of our readings. It's one of our favorite books. Some friends had the bit about what it means to be real from "The Velveteen Rabbit" and almost everybody cried.
