Many couples wish to add special readings and prayers to their services. Below you'll find just a small sample of some of the various readings that can be added into your service. Readings are a great way to incorperate family members and special friends who otherwise would be left out of your service.

To help make your vows work, practice reading these with a standard set of vows first, then build them adding in specialty items such as candles, roses, and other items as you go.  You can always modify them and tweak them as needed to make it fit. Try them prior to the rings, and after.  Sometimes it may work best and less crowded if you do the readings after the rings.  Be sure to print these documents out, and experiment with them. Making notes what works best.  Another tip, once you have it the way you want, read it again this time as if you were actually doing the ceremony.  But this time, watch the clock.  This especially important if you have a time table you are working with when it comes to wedding site rental agreement, or pastors time.

These are just a few of the many readings that can be done in any service.
