Love One Another wedding reading
Here’s the next in my series of awesome wedding readings you might like to include in your wedding ceremony!
Readings are absolutely not a compulsory part of a marriage ceremony. They’re a way of expressing something in a way that’s different from anything you or I can come up with, and they’re also a way of including additional people in the ceremony if you want to.
We’re not necessarily talking about Bible readings here, although you can include Bible passages if you want. You might like to consider poems, passages from films or books (especially those written for children), or song lyrics. To give an even more personal touch, some couples ask their loved ones to write something specifically for their ceremony. There are plenty of options!
Love One Another, author unknown
If you can love each other through the sky and the storm,
And keep the flame of true devotion glowing bright and warm,
If you can give each other room to grow and change and learn,
Yet still hold one another close in mutual concern,
If you can be both lovers and the very best friends,
And face together hand in hand the challenges life sends,
If you can offer patience, comfort and real understanding,
Encourage one another’s efforts, yet be understanding,
If you can show true love and faith in everything and do,
The married life will surely hold much joy for both of you.
