At our wedding we had three readings, E. E Cummings I Carry Your Heart and two religious readings.
I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
I found the Church of England wbesite quite useful:
Readings
There are many popular and exciting readings. Read some of these together and see if what they say seems important to you.
â?¢ God creates women and men to look after the earth (Genesis, Chapter 1, verses 26-28)
â?¢ A love poem between two lovers (Song of Solomon, Chapter 2, verses 10-13; Chapter 8, verses 6&7)
â?¢ Jesus teaches how to live life that brings true happiness (Matthew, Chapter 5, verses 1-10)
â?¢ Jesus teaches about marriage, and welcomes children (Mark, Chapter 10, verses 6-9 and 13-16
â?¢ What happens when Jesus attends a wedding reception (John, Chapter 2, verses 1 - 11)
â?¢ Love, actually! (1 Corinthians Chapter 13)
â?¢ Committing to each other (Ephesians Chapter 5, verses 21-33)
â?¢ Seeing the good sideâ?¦ (Philippians Chapter 4, verses 4 - 9)
â?¢ Getting the perfect relationship (Colossians Chapter 3, verses 12 - 17)

Your minister will be pleased to help you choose the right readings for your wedding service. As well as other Bible readings, she or he may be happy for you to include a suitable non-religious reading. Choices have been as diverse as 'Winnie the Pooh' and 'Captain Corelli'!
That is of course if you are having the traditional Church Wedding....
