Wedding Readings and Speeches
RSS feed for this section
Readings are one of the easiest ways to personalise your wedding ceremony and what type you choose will depend on your venue – religious readings and hymns, for example, are not permitted in a civil ceremony location.
Having readings at your ceremony is also a great way of including a special friend or relative in the day, especially if you haven't been able to choose them as a member of the main bridal party.
Any public speaking can be daunting, but this handy section will guide you through and give you top tips on how to deliver a speech or reading to remember.
Simply choose from our 'Wedding Readings and Speeches' articles below to start planning your wedding like a pro
