Readings About Love For Your Wedding Ceremony Script with PDF's

When writing a non-religious wedding ceremony script, one of the challenges many couples face is replacing traditional scripture readings with non-religious options. Not only replacing them but replacing them with something they love! You want to love your wedding ceremony! I know that as a wedding officiant, I want you to LOVE your wedding ceremony!
These  readings will show you some great options. From poetry to famous quotes to passages from favorite books and everything in-between, I hope you find the perfect readings for your wedding ceremony.   
If it's not one of these readings, I hope these inspire you to find what is perfect for you, even if it's writing your own.  Check out these other pages:

Reading About Love For Your Wedding 2
How Do I Love You?

The couple that introduced me to this reading were planning a wedding ceremony by the books.  It was literally a ceremony because they had to have a ceremony before they could start the party. They decided to have a little fun with the readings.  Don't worry, it sounds like another famous reading.  I've included it on this list!

Reading About Love For Your Wedding 5
Sonnet 43
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I think the phrase "How do I love thee?" is a classic.  A bride that chose th to be read during her wedding was marrying a widower with a young child.  The last phrase  "I shall but love thee better after death."  Had great meaning to all of them.

Pro tip:  You don't have to have readings as a part of your wedding ceremony.  They aren't required.  You can skip them altogether if you prefer.  If you read enough wedding ceremony scripts you will find many of the passages come from popular wedding readings.  Instead of having a formal "reading" the sentiment of the reading is presented in another way.   You can always edit, write and re-write to suit yourself.  ​

​Reading About Love For Your Wedding 12
From Doctor Zhivago
Boris Pasternak

The bride that introduced this to me was part of an immigrant family. Somehow, the journey her family took to get to the US permanently and become citizens matches the tone of the movie quote. I will always remember their wedding because of this reading.  ​
