Wedding readings: For fun

Some possibilities from the lovey-dovey side of things:

"My true love hath my heart and I have hers,
By just exchange one for another given;
I hold hers dear and mine she cannot miss;
There never was a better bargain driven:
My true love hath my heart and I have hers.

My heart in me keeps her and me in one;
My heart in her, her heart and senses guides;
She loves my heart for once it was her own;
I cherish hers because in me it bides:
My true love hath my heart and I have hers." Sir Philip Sidney


You'll notice, my sister beat me to this one in her comment a few days ago:
"Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dales and fields
And all the craggy mountains yeilds.

There we will sit upon the rocks
And see the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.

And I will make thee beds of roses
With a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle.

A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;

A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me and be my love.

The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my love." Christopher Marlowe


This one is so darn cute. Maybe toward the end of the ceremony, for a little levity?
"Though you know it anyhow
Listen to me darling now,

Proving what I need not prove
How I know I love you, love.

Near and far, near and far,
I am happy where you are.

Likewise, I have never learnt
How to be it where you aren't.

Far and wide, far and wide,
I can walk with you beside;

Furthermore, I tell you what,
I sit and sulk where you are not.

Visitors remark my frown
When you're upstairs and I am down,

Yes, and I'm afraid I pout
When I'm indoors and you are out;

But how contentedly I view
Any room containing you.

In fact I care not where you be
Just as long as it's with me.

In all your absences I glimpse
Fire and flood and trolls and imps.

Is your train a minute slothful?
I goad the stationmaster wrothful.

When with friends to bridge you drive
I never know if you're alive,

And when you linger late in shops
I long to telephone the cops.

Yet how worth the waiting for,
To see you coming through the door.

Somehow, I can be complacent
Never but with you adjacent.

Near and far, near and far,
I am happy where you are;

Likewise, I have never learnt
How to be it where you aren't.

Then grudge me not my fond endeavor,
To hold you in my sight forever;

Let none, not even you, disparage
Such a valid reason for a marriage." Ogden Nash from "Tin Wedding Whistle"
