Bible ceremony reading that's not too religious
I grew up catholic, but my fiance is not religious. We are having a civil ceremony in Vegas with 2 readings. I think is important to include one reading from the bible, which he is fine with. I am looking for something similiar to the "Love is patient..." that isn't preachy. Does anyone have any suggestions?

But you could do 1 Corinthians 13 and leave out the more religious verses...
"So I sing a song of love, Julia"

[QUOTE]Does it HAVE to come from the bible?? Since one of your readings is already from the bible, couldn't your second be a nice poem or lyrics from a song you both enjoy? That's what I'm hoping to do. My fiancee really felt we needed a church so to balance that with us not being "church people" I though song lyrics or poems would be ideal.

You're getting married in a church, but neither of you are "church people"? May I ask then, why you're getting married in a church?

I'm confused too... If you're not church people, why would you get married in a church? My FI and I aren't "church people" and we both felt it would be pretty disrespectful to our religious guests to get married in a church just to have a pretty building...

my to-read shelf:
Ecclesiastes 4: 1-12
Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm;
But how can one be warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
The last verse about a threefold cord is, in my understanding, about including faith in marriage, you could cut the last verse... or really, it might not bother you.
