Ceremony readings???

Hey Ladies!  FI and I will be having two readers during our wedding ceremony.  We are getting married in a church and I want one of the readings to be biblical.  The other one we are thinking would be "I carry your heart with me" by E.E Cummings.  Any suggestions on Bible verses that are not first Corinthians?  I am trying to find something that is not so widely used.

  • I like these ones, but I haven't done a ton of research into it yet.  Looking forward to seeing other suggestions =]

    Song of Solomon 2:10-13 
    My beloved responded and said to me, 
    'Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, 
    And come along. 
    'For behold, the winter is past, 
    The rain is over and gone. 
    'The flowers have already appeared in the land; 
    The time has arrived for pruning the vines, 
    And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land. 
    'The fig tree has ripened its figs, 
    And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance. 
    Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, 
    And come along!' 
    SOLOMON'S SONG - CHAPTER 8
    6. Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
    7. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned

    ECCLESIASTES - CHAPTER 4
    9. Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
    10. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
    11. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone.
    12. And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him: and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

  • I'm glad to know I'm not the only bride who has heard first corinthians one too many times. It might be slightly more bearable if the majority of readers didn't think it was one  long runon sentence, lol.

  • I suggest something from Song of Solomon. I'm not religious, but I did an extensive study of it in a History of Love Poetry course I took in college. Beautiful!
