Readers -- usually women?

This might seem like a silly quesiton, but are readers usually women? I was thinking I'd ask one of my guy friends to do a reading at the wedding, but FH said usually it's women that do readings. I wasn't sure if it just happened that way or if there's a reason. Thanks!

Re: Readers -- usually women?

It does seem to be mostly women that do readings, but I have been to a few weddings where a man has done a reading. FI's uncle is doing one at ours!

Re: Readers -- usually women?

My DH brother did one and my male cousin did one.

Re: Readers -- usually women?

Actually, both of our readers are our uncles. I've honestly never noticed more women than men though....

Re: Readers -- usually women?

I never thought about it til FH said something! Then I was like, 'hmm, I don't think I've ever been to a wedding where a man has done a reading.' I was thinking maybe it's usually women because there might be times when there's someone you couldn't make a BM and, this way, they have something to do?

Good to know that I can ask my guy friend if I want to! Thanks!

Re: Readers -- usually women?

We had DH's godfather do a reading. My best friend's brother did one for her wdding. My SIL's brother did one for my bro's wedding.

Re: Readers -- usually women?

I was at a wedding last month with a male reader but you are right overall I have noticed mostly women readers. Now that I think of it all my readers are women too.

Re: Readers -- usually women?

We had two aunts as readers and FH's two guy cousins do the Prayer of the Faithful. I don't think it matters at all.

Re: Readers -- usually women?

Both of our readers were male - my brother and DH's cousin.

Re: Readers -- usually women?

I don't think it matters male or female....you should choose someone who is special to you

Re: Readers -- usually women?

I also have never noticed it either way....we are having a good male friend and my grandmother.

Re: Readers -- usually women?

definitely not limited to women.

Re: Readers -- usually women?

Im asking one of each; my female cousin to do one and future father in law to do the other......

Re: Readers -- usually women?

Both my brother and I did a reading at my dads wedding.

Re: Readers -- usually women?

i have noticed that more women are readers, but we are most likely having one male and one female

Re: Readers -- usually women?

I've noticed that the majority tend to be female but there is no rule about it. We are having one of the GM do a reading...but by request it cannot be too mushy.

Re: Readers -- usually women?

We had our dads each do a reading at our wedding.

Re: Readers -- usually women?

Not necessarily. I'm having my brother in law do a reading. I want it to incorporate him in my wedding in a special way.

Re: Readers -- usually women?

We had my uncle and DH's sister do readings. It doesn't matter if the reader is a male or female.
