Reading + MOH Speech = too much MOH?

    I'm thinking about asking my MOH to do a reading in my Catholic/Jewish ceremony.  I originally asked a good friend to do the reading.  I would have loved for her to be a BM but there wasn't room.  She didn't want to do the reading b/c of a fear of public speaking and now I'm not sure who to ask. 

    The wedding is only 2 weeks away so I thought it would be a good idea to ask a bridal party member to do the reading since they are already planning on attending the rehearsal. 

    Is it overkill for my MOH to do a reading at the ceremony and a speech at the reception?

    it might be a bit much, but just ask her.  Maybe your Mom or your FMIL or FFIL would like to do a reading.  What about siblings?  That might be a good way to give them something special to do since your MOH will already be doing a speech at the reception.

    I think if your MOH has no problem with it, it shouldn't be a problem.  :)

    I think as long as she's comfortable with all the attention it's totally fine -- she's obviously very important in your life if she's your MOH, so it makes sense to me that she'd be featured as a speaker at both the ceremony and the reception!

    Thanks!

    I don't want to choose a sibling b/c I think it would be unfair to the other siblings.  I don't think either mother would be comfortable doing it. 

    I'm going to ask my MOH and tell her that if she doesn't want to it's completly fine :)

    I would ask another family member if I were you.  A close aunt, uncle or grandparent.  But asking your MOH would be fine!  It's not too much, especially ebcause she'll be reading rather than memorizing for the ceremony, right?

    I think that is a good choice. I've been thinking of this myself. I don't thik it would be overkill, but I could be biased too. :)
