I am looking for a sweet reading or poem to include in our ceremony.  I would like to find something meaningful, yet not too sappy.  Our children are 20, 18 and 16 and will definitely be rolling their eyes if it's too sappy. : )

    I found this one I am thinking of using
     "A good marriage must be created.
    In marriage the "little" things are the big things.
    It is never being too old to hold hands.
    It is remembering to say, “I love you" at least once a day.
    It is never going to sleep angry.
    It is having a mutual sense of values, and common objectives.
    It is standing together and facing the world.
    It is forming a circle that gathers in the whole family.
    It is speaking words of appreciation, and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
    It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
    It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.
    It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
    It is not only marrying the right person -- it is being the right partner."

    excerpt from “The Art of a Good Marriage”, by Wilferd Arlan Peterson
