The Essential List of Wedding Ceremony Readings

1 month ago 127

Claire McGowran

As we all know, the wedding ceremony readings are a huge part of your big day and give a sense of who you are as a couple, as well as the things that are important to you. This is something that will set the tone for the day and communicate the more gushing sentiments that you might feel shy about putting into your vows!

Whether you're someone who adores classics like Shakespeare and Beethoven, a fan of sweet and sentimental poetry, or a modern romantic who loves books and music, we have cherry-picked our favourite readings that will suit every kind of wedding ceremony. We've even compiled them in one easy list for you to peruse. Handy right?

Of course many of these wedding ceremony readings cross multiple categories, many of the child-friendly readings for example are also short, some of the most romantic poems are also Irish, and of course, any of these could be read at at a same-sex wedding. But hopefully breaking them down into categories, will help navigate your way through the selection but do check out the other categories too - you might be surprised. Oh and if you're writing your own ceremony, this step-by-step guide is very helpful!
