My sister is getting married in a couple of weeks and I need some really nice wedding readings for the day. Nothing to cheesy and lovee and not the Apache ceremony that everyone seems to have. Any suggestions?

1 Corinthians 13 verses 1 to 13 talks about the importance of love and I've heard it read at quite a few weddings. See Below: If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Personally, I think that a reading from the Corinthians is classic. Although, I did watch Wedding Crashers and apparently it is used quite often. I guess some things are just classic. I hope this helps.
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. (NRSV, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

Use Search or go to the library (it's the big building with windows and shelves full of books that you borrow LOL) and look up the old poets.
Not the poets with sappy love poems that rhyme. The poems that make you think and take you inside of a beautiful story of love. Prose, too.

How Do I Love Thee by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
There's a really cute speech from Sex & the City's 3rd season that starts out "His hello was the end to her endings. Her smile was their first step down the aisle."
I love this one too:
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
--E.E. Cummings

If she is being married in a church usually the minister, priest, vicar actually can provide you with a book to choose a reading from a large selection. If it is not a religious ceremony just look for passages in appropriate books.

You've been my sister for many years
we've laughed together and shed some tears,
we've had harsh words and pulled some hair,
but against the world we're a terrific pair.
Our times together have been too few,
just want to say,i love you.

I once read "If music be the food of love" at a friend's wedding. Speech from twelfth night.
