    Does anyone know a good website or book I could get with Old and New Testament readings that are wedding appropriate for my Catholic wedding ceremony?  I've tried googling but aren't getting any good sites so thought maybe someone has already found a great source.

     

    Thanks Bees Kiss

    My dad read Philippians 2:1-3 and then continued in his words... He made a whole speach using many texts, but this one we liked a lot (and is not one of those that we hear to often in weddings)

    If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

    Ask at your church.  The priest or parish secretary should give you a book called "Together for Life" that has all the approved readings for a Catholic ceremony.  Good luck!

    We bought this one http://www.amazon.com/Marriage-Keeps-Foundations-Christian/dp/0926412124 and it had all the reading options and info about the mass etc.  It was actually quite helpful!

    You should be receiving the book "together for life" which should have all you need to plan a Catholic Wedding. As your church coordinator about it.

    Our priest gave us "Celebrating Marriage: Preparing the Roman Catholic Wedding Liturgy, A Workbook for Engaged Couples", third edition, Paul Covino, editor. Chapter three is all about the readings for the wedding liturgy. I like how it explains the readings in a clear, modern way. You can purchase it on Barnes and Nobles or Amazon or from the Catholic publisher. My church uses this book instead of "Together for Life".
