I am looking for some simple yet meaningful civil wedding readings. all the web sites seem to have the same stuff full of old fashioned long heavy rubbish! I really want words such as the blue mountain cards or similar - please can anyone help at all?

Two readings I like are the Idian wedding blessing and the irish wedding blessing. They are simple, and not so old fashioned as far as the old scripture readings and such.
If you google "irish wedding blessing" and "indian wedding blessing" they will come up. Give them a read!
Good luck!!

Here are the two that will be used in my wedding:
"I love you. Not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you, not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out. I love for putting your hand into my heaped-up heart and passing over all the foolish, weak things that you can't help dimly seeing there, and for drawing out in the light all the beautiful belongings that no one else had looked quite far enough to find. I love you because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life not a tavern but a temple; out of the works of my every day not a reproach but a song. I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good. And more than any fate could have done to make me happy. You have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign. You have done it by being yourself. Perhaps that is what being a friend means, after all."
and...
True Love
True love is a sacred flame that burns eternally, and none can dim its special glow or change its destiny. True love speaks in tender tones and hears with gentle ear. True love gives with open heart and true love conquers fear. True love makes no harsh demands: It neither rules nor binds, and true love holds with gentle hands the heart that it entwines.
Hope you like them. Congratulations and best wishes.

Personally I would skip the readings. No one listens to them and they tend ot be boring. I did not include any in our wedding and it was not missed.
