Also, readings and/or poems

One of the preists we met with recommended the Catholic Guide to wedding ceremonies. It's available in Catholic Supply stores.

I don't have poem recommendations except maybe checking a book store for romantic poetry or even looking at song lyrics.

genesis 2: 18-24
The lord god said: ' it is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a suitable partner for him.' So the lord god formed out of the ground various wild animals and birds of the air, and he brougth them to the man to see what he would call them; whatever the man called each of them would be its name. The man gave names to all the cattle, all the birds of the air, and all the wild animals; but none proved to be the suitable partner for the man. So the lord God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was asleep he took out one of the ribs and closed up its place with flesh. The Lord God then built up into a woman the rib that he had taken from the man. When he brought her to the man, the man said:
'this one, at last is the bone of my bones, and the flesh of my flesh;
this one shall be called 'woman,' for out of her man this one has been taken.'
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body'

Gospel- john 2: 1-11
On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding. When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “ They have no wine” [and] Jesus said to her, “ Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servers, “ Do whatever he tells you.” Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told them, “ Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it. And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from(although the server who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.” Jesus did this as the beginnings of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.
