There was an outbreak of sniggering from the cheap seats at mine when the registrar told me to 'take Mr K's ring'. I barely kept a straight face myself.

Hello, our vicar has given us a little book of suggested readings and we picked this one

(Unknown author)
Today is a day you will always remember
The greatest in anyone's life
You'll start off the day just two people in love
And end it as Husband and Wife

It's a brand new beginning the start of a journey
With moments to cherish and treasure
And althought there'll be time when you both disagree
These will surely be outweight by pleasure

You'll have heard many words of advice in the past
When the secrets of marriage were spoken
But you know that the answers lie hidden inside
Where the bond of tru love lies unbroken

So live happy forever as lovers and friends
It's the dawn of a new life for you
As you stand there together with love in your eyes
From the moment you whisper 'I do'

And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real
May success find its way to your hearts
Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys
But today is the day it all starts

May aswell have a bit of fluff on the day itself

i really like this last one. gonna show it to the OH at the weekend. It not to slushy and not religious, which suits us. thanks to everyone for all your help.
