Culled from both sacred and secular texts, and suitable for either traditional or informal wedding ceremonies, these selections might be included in Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, interfaith, and non-denominational exchanges of vows.
Among the passages appropriate for readings by parents, friends, or the bride and groom are selections from Plato and Sappho, Rilke and Auden, Ecclesiastes and Euripedes, Shakespeare and Donne, pascal and Montaigne, Emily Dickinson and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. There are love songs from the Aztecs and Eskimos, Hindu and African wedding prayers, a Buddhist marriage homily, a Shaker hymn, and Irish blessing, excerpts from Coptic Orthodox and Greek Orthodox marriage services, and passages from the Old and New Testaments, some familiar, some surprising. With myriad choices, Wedding Readings will help you add a special, personal touch to your marriage ceremony." --Provided by the publisher   aAdolesence   xMaleen Grafilo-OrdizySenior High SchoolzEnglish  aText in English 0aWeddingsvLiterary collections. 0aLovevLiterary collections. 0aMarriagevLiterary collections. 7aLiterature.1 aMunro, Eleanor C., ecompiler.  2ddccBK  cadryann[new]d09/17/2025  c13978d13978  00102ddc4070aSHSLbSHSLcSUBJ.REFd2025-09-17eDonated by the chancellor Ms Candice Gotianuyl0o082 W41 1989p3UCBLSH00000264r2025-09-17w2025-09-17ySR
