Sample Wedding Ceremony Readings (And What To Do Instead!)
You’re a wedding officiant or a couple looking for wedding readings for your upcoming ceremony. And you just want this part to be easy. Basically, you just want to find a verse or a poem or a quote here on the Internet, think “Oh that’s nice” about it, and copy and paste it into your…

I can imagine the weddings you officiate are memorable! Listening to this has given me confidence to go with my gut and compose a funny, personal poem about my friend and her husband to be! I'm so nervous, as I don't do public speaking…..can you recommend anything to keep the nerves at bay?
My friend's think I'm funny, so the pressure is on to be funny! But it's not my day, so I want it to be about them and their story.
Ok Im confused, you just said it's all about the couple they asked you for something and you said no? and if they want mention of God included in the script would you not read a passage from the bible?
How long should a wedding be? How long should be officiating speak?
Wow! Airtight! Thank you sir
my aunt wants me to pick a reading for her wedding, i genuinely am lost on what to tell her. hence why i’m on youtube looking it up (edit: i’m reading at the wedding she isn’t just outsourcing an important part to me because she couldn’t be bothered)
Great advice !!
Wow. Just talking about the Dr. Seuss story made me emotional….🤔I better brace myself really well if I'm going to do this for people🤣😅🤣😅
Hi Mark, love what you have written. I hsve a wedding coninf up in 2 weeks and your suggestions have paid off. Hope I win one of tour terrific books. Love is in the air.♥️♥️
Ha ha, I was already subscribed…. but the third "Aunt Mabel" made me hit for "all" notifications. 😀
Such thoughtful advice!! Super excited to share these suggestions with my couples and incorporate into their ceremonies 🥂
Thanks Mark! This is so refreshing as opposed to doing same-O Same-O!!! I know with some people it will probably be short and sweet because they are so intimidated by saying much of anything out loud in public. But to me that's OK so long as it comes from the heart! I think giving them the choice in this and it not being canned is so awesome!!! Thanks again from a new-be!!! 🙂
Im getting married in2024 and i was wondering of u could help
Close your eyes listen to this guy talk and tell me he doesn’t sound like the property brothers.
Oh, no… I am Aunt Mable. 1 week away!!!!!????
Wow you are so helpful! I never looked at it that way but will for the upcoming event!
Love the idea of adding personal and unique reading. The example of the book ow the places we will go is , such a great price to personalize the ceremony. Thanks
I've been to weddings with both. I'm officiating a wedding in two days and no reading I could find seemed to flow well. It was like you said, they don't seem very personal. So I haven't added one in. I've got the story of the couple in relation to me (because I know them) and some simple words of advice and talk about love and the meaning of the day, but no reading. I asked them now if they have anything personal but I think it'll be pretty good without 🙂 I've seen some great weddings on Youtube without readings.
I love your information. I just heard you at IAPWO, it was great. I am revamping my Love Story.
Love your videos, you are awesome! Thank you for sharing your passion for great wedding ceremonies.
These are very well made videos. Helping a lot as I prepare for my first officiating.
Mark, I just love your videos! I learn so much!
I guess I have never been to a wedding where they did this.
Thanks, Mark! You taught me well, Claudia, the Kick!Ass Officiant
