Favorite Readings

So, I've been looking at possible readings so we can make a basic outline for our ceremony (our officiant recommended we do a draft early that we can just revise as we get close to the date). Anyway, there's an insane amount of really nice readings out there.What are some of your favorites?

Here's one of mine:Louis de Bernieres, from "Corelli's Mandolin".    Love is a temporary madness; it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.

We used The Prayer by St Francis of Assissi and an paragraph from The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks.

Both mothers are reading during our ceremony My mom is reading "Union" by Robert Fulghum, plus a marriage quote about marriage from the movie "Shall We Dance?" FMIL is reading "Blessing for a Marriage" by Robert Dillett Freeman. I love 'em all! I tried to find readings I thought they'd like, and I let them pick from there. I think their choices really fit them and us HTH!
