I have been asked to do a reading at a forth coming family wedding. Couple didn't want a religious verse so have plumped for an E E Cummings verse. Very lovely and appropriate
Bride wants something to reflect on the fact that some family members have passed away so need to include that sort of thing. What I need help with is the little intro that I will have to say. Some thing along the lines of " x&x asked me to read something for them today as they start the new married life but also as a chance to remember others who can't be with us today" not to maudlin but some words to show respect?? Any ideas would be great. Tia
