WR - Who were your ceremony readers?

Celles · August 2010

And how did you choose them? We're starting to talk about this now, so I'm curious.

TIA!

My SIL. We chose her because she's awesome and we wanted her involved some way since my sister and his brother were in the WP. She did a great job and even cried while doing the reading.

We were also considering my uncle, but then my aunt started being biitchy about WR stuff so we decided to keep the drama out.

In my family, following the Catholic tradition in our town, its usually the godparents of the bride. However, I am not Catholic, and my godparents don't want to read.

I asked my cousin to read, even though I don't know what she is reading yet. We asked her brother (my other cousin) to be an usher. I am very close to them and we grew up across the road from each other. We are much more like siblings than cousins.

We used two of our close girlfriends who weren't in the wedding party. Our wedding was small, and they were our only two friends that age who could make it and didn't already have a role in the wedding party. I guess that isn't really WHY we chose them, but it did work out nicely.

We didn't have any.

We chose one of my SIL and one of my BIL. We wanted all of our siblings to be involved in some way and they were the only ones not in the wedding party (we wanted to keep it small).

FI's sisters, because I wanted to include them in the wedding, but neither FI nor I wanted them in the wedding party (I don't think they would have wanted to be in the WP anyway).

We're each asking our grandfathers to do the readings.

We didn't have any readers either.

our siblings are in the WP .. but siblings are always a good choice for readers

we picked our 2 ushers to also be our 2 readers because i wanted to give them a more substantial role so they knew how important they were to us

One of my H's really good friends, and his wife, who I've gotten very close with. We don't get to see them often since they live in Texas, but they're close to us. H was in their wedding as a groomsman. For ours, H only had his brothers as GM, so he wanted to include Nate as a reader. I had a LOT of college girlfriends, and could have asked any of them, but it would have been awkward to single out just one. Since I'm also close to Nate's wife, it seemed natural to ask her to do the other reading. Plus, then they could practice reading to each other (which they said they did).

Thanks all!

I'd like to ask my grandmother to do one, and I think FI is leaning towards asking his father to do the other. For some reason, I was hesitant to ask two family members (as opposed to say, one family member and one friend?) -- but it seems like it's not at all unusual, so we'll probably just go with that. I overthink things sometimes.

We had my aunt, who I'm very close to, do our scripture reading.

Our other reading was done by a close friend of ours.

My stepdad married us and my great-uncle performed the blanket ceremony. My uncle was the only one who could do that party, and we asked my stepdad because we wanted to be married by someone who knows and loves us, and is close to us, rather than a notary hired just for the day.

Other than that, we didn't have readers.

Good friend of mine who I wished could have been a BM, but I already felt like an idiot for having 6, and MIL.

It was perfect because, my mom was performing the ceremony (pastor), my dad was walking me down, his dad was doing traditional Native American singing/drumming, so we got all the parents involved.

FH's niece. He has 2 nieces, ages 8 and 14, and we wanted to include them both. The younger one is our flower girl and the older one is our reader.
