Readings

Here are a few readings that I have found beautiful and interesting. It's definitely an eclectic mix, but I hope that will make it more fun.

From The Velveteen Rabbit, by Margery Williams: How can you not love this?
From The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint Exupéry: Another of my favorite books. Unusual, and very sweet.
Wedding Song: Not a song, really, but a poem I'm fond of
A Reading from Corinthians: A biblical classic. If you want traditional, this is it.
Blessing for a Marriage, by James Dillet Freeman: I don't often find contemporary readings that I like, but this is pretty great.
On Marriage, by Khalil Gibran: The classic text from The Prophet. This gets used a lot, but it should. It's gorgeous.
the first of all my dreams was of...: I have always been a sucker for e.e. cummings. Here's an amazing little rhyme.
Apache Wedding Blessing: The actual origins of this prayer are a little murky, as far as I can tell, but that doesn't make it any less beautiful. This would work nearly anywhere in a ceremony, as well.
From Leaves of Grass, by Walt Whitman: Here's why Whitman is a genius. This isn't even a poem. It's from the preface to the 1855 edition.
