Readings - Whats appropriate for guests to read

Could the ones that you like be re-worded at all? For example change 'I' to 'she' etc..

My 9 year old cousin is reading this before the ceremony starts (We are changing the names obviously). I think it's fab!

If you go to a wedding, here’s what it means
No one wears trainers and no one wears jeans
Your best new clothes are all that you wear
And everyone in your whole family is there
Even some cousins that you’ve never known
And the grown-ups all say “Oh, how much you have grown!”
So everyone’s sitting in one big room
(except Sally and Richard, the bridge and groom)

Then all of a sudden things quieten down
And music starts playing and people turn round
And really slowly, Sally walks in
And she’s prettier now than she’s ever been.

She’s smiling and she’s really great looking today
(when normally she looks just kind of okay)
She walks in and stands with her dad for a while
As Richard her boyfriend, awaits in the aisle
His hair is all combed and he’s wearing a tie
And then Sally’s mum starts to sniffle and cry.
The Registrar says that we’re ready to start
So she talks and she talks about serious things
Then their friend Chris steps up holding two rings
He gives one to the groom and the other to the bride
Then after a few moments he steps to the side

And another big sniffle comes from Sally’s mother
And Sally and Richard put on the wedding rings
And they talk and they promise each other some things
They promise that they’ll love each other a lot
And help one another no matter what
And be with each other the rest of their life
Then the Registrar says “Now you are husband and wife”.
And you go to a party with very much food
Where you dance with some grown-ups and drink some wine
And then do a conga-dance in one long line
‘till Sally and Richard drive off in a car
and everyone’s thinking how happy they are
So we all yell goodbye and throw handfuls of rice
Then the whole thing is over. Weddings are nice

Ah well now thats the question, is it the done thing to change names/reword.

Apparently yes! Thanks girls!

I'm going to ask my 10 year old niece to read this:

Getting married means you'll have

Someone's hand to hold,

Even when you're feeling sick,Even when you're old.

It means when you sit down to eat,

Someone will be there,

So you won't have to tell your day

To an empty chair.

It means that you can have some kids

Just like a mom and dad,

And play with them all afternoon,

Except when they are bad.

It means that when you need some help,

Someone will help out,

Someone always near to you

So you won't have to shout.

But best of all is when it's time

To turn out all the lights:

You won't have to be alone

Those long and scary nights.

So even though you don't have toys,

You don't have to care:

Once you're married you can be

Each other's teddy bear!

thought it was cute for a child to read..

That is amazing!! I think it's perfect! love that

I LOVE THIS!!!! My brownie unit will be involved in our wedding (they also helped my OH propose by holding up "Carlene Will you marry me") and this would be fantastic for them to read!!
