We want 2 readings at our ceremony, but we want them to be light and not too mushy as that's just not us, we like the Dove Poem but can't find anything else that suit us, any ideas? Xx

We are having just the 1 reading I think. We are trying to find something that isn't too mushy or lovey/dovey as we aren't like that really. Its proving a challenge to find something quite chilled and generally quite us!

I've just found this one by Pam Ayres,
Yes, I’ll marry you, my dear, and here’s the reason why; So I can push you out of bed when the baby starts to cry, and if we hear a knocking and it’s creepy and it’s late, I hand you the torch you see, and you investigate.
Yes I’ll marry you, my dear, you may not apprehend it, but when the tumble-drier goes it’s you that has to mend it. You have to face the neighbour should our Labrador attack him, and if a drunkard fondles me it’s you that has to whack him.
Yes, I’ll marry you, you’re virile and you’re lean, my house is like a pigsty you can help to keep it clean. That tasty little dinner which you served by candlelight, as I do chipolatas, you can cook it every night!
It’s you who has to work the drill and put up curtain track, and when i am in a mood it’s you who gets the flak. i do see great advantages, but none of them for you, and so before you see the light, I do, I do, I do.
I think it's hilarious

My h2b wants that! its in the pack i got given from registrars, im adamant its a no, but if i get a mushy one hes having that, well so he says! my son and daughter are doing the readings X
There's one by Dr Suess, called 'Oh, The Places You'll Go'. Google that one and other ones from children's books. It's a bit more interesting, and some of them are quite funny.

Growing up I've learnt about love, I've been surrounded by it everyday. I'm so glad you've both found it, And it's why we're here today.
They say there's secrets to a good marriage, That there are rules to obey, But the most important rules of love, Are what you two do everyday.
It's the ''hey babes'' in the morning, It's how she makes his tea, It's the way he smiles at her, Such a sweet thing to see.
It's never being to old to hold hands, Or to watch movies on the couch, It's accepting all the flaws, Even when the other's a grouch.
It's telling him he's not going grey, It's the ''You look fine in those jeans'' It's ignoring the mid-life crisis, and all her little ''scenes''.
It's facing the world as one, And it's more than love at first sight, It's together being a family, Each and every day and night.
It's the way he looks into her eyes, It's the way that she looks too, It's why they stand before us, and it's why they said ''I do''.
And now I stand here today, On this important moment in life, With two people very in love, Now husband and wife.
Growing up, I've learnt about love, and seeing it today proves it true, You've both taught me so much, And I'd be lucky to be half as happy as you.
gave my 11 year old an hour to choose something she would like to read at my wedding and this was it well needless to say i cried and yes its mushy (pass the bucket) but my point is sometimes its nice to let the reader make a choice :)
One BIG day will lead to lots of little happy days !!

Oh The Places You’ll Go By Dr. Seuss
Congratulations! Today is your day. You’re off to Great Places! You’re off and away! You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the couple who’ll decide where to go. You’ll look up and down streets. Look ‘em over with care. About some you will say, “We don’t choose to go there.” With your heads full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you’re too smart to go down, any not-so-good street. And you may not find any you’ll want to go down. In that case, of course, you’ll head straight out of town. It’s opener there in the wide open air, Out there things can happen and frequently do to people as brainy and footsy as you. And when things start to happen, don’t worry. Don’t stew. Just go right along. You’ll start happening too.
OH! THE PLACES YOU’LL GO!
You’ll be on your way up! You’ll be seeing great sights! You’ll join the high fliers who soar to great heights! You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have all the speed. You’ll pass the whole gang, and you’ll soon take the lead. Wherever you fly you’ll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest. Except when you don’t. Because sometimes, you won’t. You’ll get mixed up of course, as you already know. You’ll get mixed up with so many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with great care and great tact and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left. And will you succeed? Yes! You will indeed!(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)
KIDS, YOU’LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!
So, be your name Buxbaum or Dowrie or Bassor Mordecai Ali Van Allen O’Shea, you’re off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So … get on your way!”

one is the one we had ..it is by "Purple Ronnie"
Getting Married .. getting married is one of the most important things you can ever do .. this what happens
First the boy asks the girls dad if he will let him marry her,this is meant to be a surprise but the girls mum has normally found out first.
The dad always says yes specially if the boy has got lots of money.then he shakes his hand and tells hundreds of rude stories about him and the mum.
Then the mum and the girl go shopping for millions of new clothes.They get fancy hairstyles and the girl buys a dress that is much too long for her.
Just before the boy gets married his mates go out with him for a feast and they drink masses of beer and try to trick him into doing it with other ladies.
on the day you get married you have to stand up in front of all the people in the church and the vicar asks you questions to see how much you love the other person.
then you must both make some promise of love which go like this
(1) I promise this person that I will look after them for ever,specially if they get very poorly. (2) I promise this person that I will not have rude thoughts about anyone else and that I will only ever DO IT with them EVER. (3) I promise this person that I will share all my private things like secrets, money and sweets. (4) I promise that I wont ever get cross of giggle if this person whiffs in bed or goes to the lav in front of me because I love all things about this person (even if they are horrid)
when the girls comes out of the church she throws her flowers up in the air and the first person to catch them will be the next to get married.
after the marriage everyone goes to a huge party with love pie and cuddle cake and such a saucy drinking potion that they all dance and kiss and happy around until the whole place is bursting with love.
right at the end the marrieds drive off to a secret place with all their presents where they go to bed and get ready to love each other for the whole of the rest of their life.
