Answer 2

If you look on hitched.co.uk there are lots of poems like this,

Hope Is The Thing With Feathers by Emily Dickinson

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chilliest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity
It asked a crumb of me.

Answer 3

I have the same problem, we have jus gone thru all songs that we like to see if any lyrics are suitable. I did read on confetti however that the vicar has to approve any readings done in church that are not from the bible so it might be worth checking if yours is gonna b like that.
Lenny Kravitz Let love rule is what we are going for.
Good luck & have the best day of your life

Answer 4

Look in the Library and on the internet and im sure you will find a good poem... if you just keep on looking!

Answer 5

Committing to each other (Ephesians Chapter 5, verses 21-33)

Answer 6

The prophet by Kahlil Gibran has a great verse about marriage and becoming one but still remebering that you are two or somthing like that it's really insightful

Answer 7

Hi.
Why someone else's words. Why not get your brother to write his own. If he's not great at writing, get him to ask family and friends for 2/3 lines on your marriage. He can then pass on thoughts, best wishes, jokes, memories that relate to everyone there... You can get sheets printed of all the comments and leave them for guests to pick up. Yourbrother sounds a nice bloke. Best wishes for your wedding..

Answer 8

my step mum read out corinthians 1:13

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;
it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;
but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.
So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

the abbreviated version is

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
