They allow space and time to share heartfelt words, be they a poem, speech, lyric, religious scripture or book extract. Usually read by someone the couple chooses, they can be used to share more about the couple and their story. That being said, you don&#8217;t always have to have readings as part of a wedding ceremony.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I pick a reading for my wedding?<\/h3>\n<p>Sit together or separately and think about your relationship. Consider your history and what matters to you both day-to-day. Then think about if or how you&#8217;d like to convey that. You can take inspiration for your reading from books, religious scripts, poems, songs, films, or write your own.<\/p>\n<p>Only you can decide what is going to work, so go with your heart and consult your officiant for further guidance.<\/p>\n<h3>Who usually does readings at weddings?<\/h3>\n<p>There are no rules regarding who should do wedding readings. It&#8217;s totally personal preference. A couple could choose someone in their wedding party or someone else who is important to them. Alternatively, a couple could choose someone that&#8217;s a confident reader or performer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"infoBox infoBox--tick theme--green\"><p class=\"h2\"><\/p><\/p>\n<p>To summarise, there really is a wedding reading to suit <strong>every couple<\/strong>.
