I've left two messages for my priest but still haven't heard back, so I'm wondering people on here have any experience with alternate readings for the first reading.
Like many other brides on here, I don't like most of the Old Testament readings in Together for Life. I've come across two others that I like, but I'm wondering if the priest is likely to allow them (he has been very lenient so far and even will allow secular music--like, the Beatles, if we want). In particular, I'm looking at the Ecclesiastes, Two are Better than one, or Book or Ruth, Wherever you go, readings.
Anyone use these or get shut down by the priest? I'm still going to keep trying my priest, of course, but I'm getting antsy.
