Reading suitable for mother-in-law

Hi, I'm getting married in about 5 weeks and need to sort the ceremony. We'd thought of getting our mothers to each do a reading. We've found one that we like which is a sort of 'advice on being married' theme. The other reading we were thinking should follow the bit where our parents and friends all say they'll support us and welcome us into their families (this is a civil ceremony). I want my DP's mother to read something that has a 'welcome to the family' type theme.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are you choosing or is she choosing?

I would like to present her with a limited number of choices. Perhaps three that we're happy with.

Not a welcome to the family but these are what we are having

A walled Garden
Your marriage", he said, "should have within it, a secret and protected place open to you alone.
Imagine it to be a walled garden, entered by a door to which you only hold the key.
Within this garden you will cease to be a mother, father, employee, homemaker or any other of the roles which you fulfil in daily life.
Here you are yourselves two people who love each other.
Here you can concentrate on one another's needs.
So take my hand and let us go back to our garden.
The time we spend together is not wasted but invested.

Maybe.....

Maybe?We are supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the Right one, so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe...it is true that we don't know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives

Maybe...the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of
Everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their Way.

Maybe...the best kind of love is the kind you where you can sit on a sofa
Together never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best Conversation you've ever had

Maybe...you shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

Maybe...you should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.

Maybe Love is not about finding the perfect person; it's about learning to see an imperfect person perfectly
Invested in our future and the nurture of our love.

Try this one
From the Native American marriage ceremony

'May the sun bring you new energies by day;
May the moon softly restore you by night.
May the rain wash away any worries you may have
And the breeze blow new strength into your being.
And all the days of your life,
May you walk gently through the world
And know its beauty'.

Now you will feel not the rain, for each will shelter the other.
Now you will feel not cold, for each will warm the other.
Now you will feel not solitude, for each will be company for the other.
Now you are two persons, but both will lead one life.
Go now to your dwelling to enter into the days of your life,
And may your days be good and long upon the earth.

I hope you have a lovely day
