Catholic Brides - What readings for ceremony??

Hey Girls - Is there a web site where I can look up popular readings for Catholic wedding ceremonies?? We are not doing a full mass with communion, only the ceremony. If you could refer me to a place where I can find this (other than the Bible I'd appreciate it. Thanks!!

Re: Catholic Brides - What readings for ceremony??

my Church gave me a book with a bunch of readings when i met with the deacon to confirm our day. did they give you anything?

Re: Catholic Brides - What readings for ceremony??

Mine also..there are a few different ones to choose from.

Re: Catholic Brides - What readings for ceremony??

Nope - didn't get anything from them....

Re: Catholic Brides - What readings for ceremony??

We also got the book and chose Stern as Death is Love - if you google that you should be able to find it, and 1 Corinthians - this one's very popular (love is patient, love is kind, etc.). Good luck!

Re: Catholic Brides - What readings for ceremony??

The book is called TOGETHER FOR LIFE --if you don't get it, you can get it for like $3 on amazon used....very helpful with readings, etc!

Re: Catholic Brides - What readings for ceremony??

you need to get together for life...it has all of your choices

Re: Catholic Brides - What readings for ceremony??

We also got a book to look through. You should contact someone and see if there is anything they can give you.

Re: Catholic Brides - What readings for ceremony??

Yup, Together for Life is what we got too. I'm using Corinthians from that book for our new testement reading, and one that's not in that book for our old testement; it's the song of Ruth, from the book of Ruth. VERY beautiful! Actually, my Mother suggested it, and it's my favoriate reading. You should check it out. If you google 'Bible Readings from the book of Ruth', you'll find it. It's Ruth 1:16-1:17. Good luck! I'm sure whatever you pick will be beautiful!!

You should have received the book at Pre Cana.

Call your church rectory. They should be able to send you a copy.
