Can you post a picture of the way you are doing the order of the ceremony?
My specific question is how to set up the readings - how to say what the reading is, who wrote that reading, and who our reader is.
We are not getting married in a church, but I don't think it matters for purpose of formatting.
TIA

Opening Prayer
Liturgy of the word: First Reading - Daisy
A reading from the song of Solomon (2:8-10, 14, 16; 8:6-7a) I hear my Beloved. See how he comes leaping on the mountains, bounding over the hills. My Beloved is like a gazelle, like a young stag. See where he stands behind our wall. He looks in at the window, he peers through the lattice. My Beloved lifts up his voice, he says to me, 'Come then, my love, my lovely one, come. My dove, hiding in the clefts of the rock, in the coverts of the cliff, Show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is beautiful.' My Beloved is mine and I am his. He said to me: Set me like a seal on your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is strong as Death, jealousy relentless as Sheol. The flash of it is a flash of fire, a flame of Yahweh himself. Love no flood can quench, no torrents drown.

Psalm 145:8-9 and 15, 17-18
R: The Lord is compassionate to all his creatures.
Second Reading - John A reading from the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians (12:31-13:1-8a)
Be ambitious for the higher gifts. And I am going to show you a way that is better than any of them. If I have all the eloquence of men or of angels, but speak without love, I am simply a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. If I have the gift of prophesy, understanding all the mysteries there are, and knowing everything, and if I have faith in all its fullness, to move mountains, but without love, then I am nothing at all. If I give away all that I possess, piece by piece, and if I even let them take my body to burn it, but I am without love, it will do me no good whatever. Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous; love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end.
Gospel Acclimation God is love; let us love one another as he has loved us. (1John 4:8, 11)
Gospel- Monsignor Robert J. Brennan A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew (5:1-12a)
Seeing the crowds, Jesus went up the hill. There he sat down and was joined by his disciples. Then he began to speak. This is what he taught them: 'How happy are the poor in spirit; theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Happy the gentle: they shall have the earth for their heritage. Happy those who mourn: they shall be comforted. Happy those who hunger and thirst for what is right: they shall be satisfied. Happy the merciful: they shall have mercy shown them. Happy the pure in heart: they shall see God. Happy the peacemakers: they shall be called sons of God. Happy those who are persecuted in the cause of right: theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 'Happy are you when people abuse you and persecute you and speak all kinds of calumny against you on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.'

May the peace of Christ live always in your hearts and in your home. May you have true friends to stand by you, both in joy and sorrow. May you be ready and willing to help and comfort all who come to you in need. And may the blessings promised to the compassionate be yours in abundance. May you find happiness and satisfaction in your work. May daily problems never cause you undue anxiety, nor the desire for earthly possessions to dominate your lives. But may your hearts' first desire be always the good things waiting for you in the life of heaven. R: Amen
May the Lord bless you with many happy years together, so that you may enjoy the rewards of a good life. And after you have served him loyally in his kingdom on earth, may he welcome you to his eternal kingdom in heaven. R: Amen

Special Thanks:
We want to thank everyone for all of their support and love throughout the years and a special thank you to those who were involved with the preparation for this joyful day. We also want to thank you for traveling such a long way to celebrate this day with us. It means so much.
In Remembrance: As we begin a new chapter in our lives, we will always cherish the memories of those who are no longer with us. On this special day, we pause to reflect upon those who have helped shape our character, strengthen our spirit and touch our hearts. Although they cannot be with us physically, they will be with us in heart and mind. We remain eternally grateful for them and pray they will continue to guide us as we take our next steps together.
