  Genesis 2:18-25 and 1 John 4:7-21 are two readings where as soon as I read them, I knew they would be the readings for our wedding. Nothing like that has happened with gospel or psalms, but we obviously still have plenty of time. I really like Erin's choice for a psalm, I'll have to check that out.

  We similarly didn't do a full mass as my husband is not catholic. Here are the readings we chose:
  Reading 1: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
  

  Two are better than one,
     because they have a good return for their labor:
  If either of them falls down,
     one can help the other up.
  But pity anyone who falls
     and has no one to help them up.
  Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
     But how can one keep warm alone?
  Though one may be overpowered,
     two can defend themselves.
  A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

  The word of the Lord 

  All Repeat: Thanks Be To God

   Reading 2: 1 Corinthians 12:31-13:8A

  Brothers and sisters:
  Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts.
  But I shall show you a still more excellent way.
  If I speak in human and angelic tongues
  but do not have love,
  I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.
  And if I have the gift of prophecy
  and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge;
  if I have all faith so as to move mountains,
  but do not have love, I am nothing.
  If I give away everything I own,
  and if I hand my body over so that I may boast
  but do not have love, I gain nothing.
  Love is patient, love is kind.
  It is not jealous, is not pompous,
  it is not inflated, it is not rude,
  it does not seek its own interests,
  it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing
  but rejoices with the truth.
  It bears all things, believes all things,
  hopes all things, endures all things.
  Love never fails.
  The word of the Lord.

  All Repeat: Thanks Be To God

   

  Gospel: John 15:9-12

  As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.
  

  Now remain in my love.

  If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love,

  Just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

  I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

  My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

  The gospel of the lord
