Have no fear! We’re here to help, babes. When thinking about your ceremony readings, it’s important to choose something that represents the two of you. So, if cool and casual is your thing, a simple ceremony reading might be the best fit for your day.<\/p>\n

Here are Junebug’s favorite simple ceremony readings for your wedding:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Atticus Poetry<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n
I just need you and some sunsets.<\/p>\n
A Moveable Feast<\/em> by <\/strong>Ernest Hemingway<\/strong><\/h2>\n
We ate well and cheaply
\nand drank well and cheaply
\nand slept well and warm together
\nand loved each other.<\/p>\n

you said,
\ntell me where you’ve been, love<\/em><\/p>\n

\nand dark corners,
\nand heavy work, and heartbreak,
\nand of all the healing<\/p>\n

Heart Talk <\/em>by <\/strong>Cleo Wade <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n
And if you want love…the really good kind…you are going to have to get your hands dirty.<\/p>\n
Apricot Memoirs <\/em>by <\/strong>Tessa Guinery <\/strong><\/h2>\n
Life should be lived with a spirit of
\nadventure, loads of good conversation
\nand a heart ready to celebrate others.
\nLove your lover. Make love under the
\nstars. Let your heart feel risk. Keep it
\nwild. Let spontaneity lead, keep things
\nfresh, and say “I love you” a million
\ntimes a day. Share a meal and some
\nrouge with your tribe. Don’t be tight-
\nfisten with what’s in your hands—be
\ngenerous! Generous with your words,
\nyour creativity, and your love. Live
\nlarge, and heed to your convictions.
\nDon’t let me sun set upon anger,
\nand be bold even when you feel like
\nretreating to your safe, little cave.
\nMost importantly, have faith and,
\nlove God with all your heart, mind,
\nand soul.<\/p>\n

The Nightmare Before Christmas<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n
“My dearest friend, If you don’t mind, I’d like to join you by your side. Where we could gaze into the stars, and sit together, now and forever. For it is plain as anyone could see, we’re simply meant to be.”<\/p>\n

\nartistic
\nthan to

\n
Jane Austin “Sense & Sensibility”<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n
My heart is, and always will be, yours.<\/p>\n
\n
Sex and the City<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n
“His hello was the end of her endings. Her laugh was their first step down the aisle. His hand would be hers to hold forever. His forever was as simple as her smile. He said she was what was missing. She said instantly she knew. She was a question to be answered. And his answer was ‘I do.’”<\/p>\n

Wild Awake<\/i> by Hilary T. Smith<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n

“There Will Be Time” by Mumford and Sons, featuring Baaba Maal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n
But in the cold light I live to love and adore you
\nIt’s all that I am, it’s all that I have
\nIn the cold light I live, I only live for you
\nIt’s all that I am, it’s all that I have<\/p>\n

Winnie the Pooh<\/em> by A. A. Milne<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n
If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together… there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart… I’ll always be with you.<\/p>\n
\n
Mother Teresa<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n
Spread love
\nwherever you go.
\nLet no one
\never come to you
\nwithout leaving
\nhappier.<\/p>\n<\/ol>\n
