[quote=Anonymous]My sister is getting married in late August.  She has e-mailed me with the request I say a few words during the wedding ceremony.  I was told I had “complete freedom to choose whatever I want – a short reading, a lovely saying, a poem, a song etc”.  My sister is more religious than her fiancé and would I suspect have wanted a church wedding (which she isn’t getting).  With that in mind DW and I spent time reviewing readings before selecting the popular passage from the first letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians (Resounding gong/clashing cymbal).  The feedback from my sister is that while she “really loves this reading” her fiancé is “not a fan” because the passage is read at too many weddings.  The long story short is that I didn’t in fact have complete freedom to choose and I now need to come up with another reading.  It’s an unequal relationship in that the fiancé always gets his way.  At this point I’m resolved to go along to get along, and need reading suggestions, both serious (and otherwise).  Thank you for your help.  [/quote]
