Re: Readings...

Here are the ones we're using:

The Song of Solomon 2:10-13; 8:6-7
My beloved speaks to me and says to me:
'Arise my love, my fair one,
and come away;
for now the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.
The fig tree puts forth its figs,
and the vines are in blossom;
they give forth fragrance.
Arise, my love, my fair one,
and come away.
Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm;
for love is strong as death,
passion fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a raging flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If one offered for love
all the wealth of this house,
it would be utterly scorned.

Our second reading is:
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all mypossessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient; Love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

here is the one we picked. we were looking for non-religious ones.

The Future Holds

The future holds such promise for two who are in love,
For what can be more precious than always thinking of the one who makes you happy, the dreams that you both hold, the love and trust you will build upon that never will grow old.
There is a deep and sacred meaning in this moment of your life, as you say the vows that make you a loving husband and wife.
There is a very special promise in the life ahead of you.
May each promise be fulfilled and may all your dreams come true.
