Has anyone been to a wedding with no readings at all?
OH hates the idea of forcing people to sit and listen to a poem or something just for the sake of it, I think he thinks they have to be really long and traditional.
We have nothing meaningful to us and the traditional ones just don't suit us at all, so nothing is sitting right with him and we have been browsing for months now. To him it is more important to just say the vows and not have anything else, and spend more time actually interacting with our guests. I can see his point with that.
Because I have mainly had my way on every little detail I really want the ceremony to be what both of us wants, not just me.
I would prefer something to be read but have no idea what, so haven't really got anything to back up my point! My only concern with not having readings would be that it would over in a flash, at least if someone got up to say something it would give us a few moments to sit back and absorb everything.
The only weddings I have been to recently was a church with traditional readings and hymns, and the only civil ceremony one had a poem read by the groom's little sister, that she had written herself.
If we don't have anything will it seem very strange?
