Are there readings done at Civil ceremonies? I really want to read one of Shakespeare's sonnets to George on our day as we both love the work and there's one that I feel is perfect! :)

as long as there are no religious references you can have pretty much what you want :)

Aww thanks girls. I really want to do it, not just the vow bit, but something that really says how I feel! :) ...
Though I suppose singing the first dance might do that for him. ... oh I don't know. Too much to think about! and Wayyy too much time.

Readings and songs are good but check with your registrar how long it can all be, some are a little fussier than others. Also you'd be surprised which words they will label as religious, so get a comprehensive list!
I've got a long list of Shakespeare to decide from for mine :)

What happens if you pick something that just says something that could be interpreted as religious although it depends on how its context is taken???

Civil Ceremonies are now allowed a certain amount of religious content, there was an article about it not so long ago.. someone posted a thread on here about it ;o)
Do not disturb... Already disturbed enough!
CommentAuthorShellster90
It all depends which one... ours still says no no to that :)
Best asking your local registry office :)

I think the allowed bit covers things like Robbie Williams 'Angels' and other references to such things in popular culture.
