I am getting married in October and need some ideas for readings at our wedding. We are having a Catholic full mass so they need to be from the bible. Any thoughts? Nothing about obeying and serving your man til the day you die!

A lot of people quote a passage from 1 Corinthians 1-13.
Love
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.

Your priest or parish office should give you a ceremony planning book. It lists the order of the ceremony and give you choices for each reading. You will need a 1st and 2nd reading, a sung responsorial song, a gospel reading and then the prayers of the faithful.
In the book it also give you choices for your vows and exchange of rings. I strongly reccomend you ask for this book if you do not have it already.
Here are a few sites that may help:

There is a great part in 1 John 4 : 18-19
It starts out, "There is no fear in love.."
Also there is the passage in Ruth that is traditional read in weddings. 1:16-17.
