How many readings?

Arpee, 20 February, 2016 at 20:46 Posted on Planning 0 8

How many readings is "normal" for a non-religious ceremony? We're having at least one and we've just asked FSIL to read for us, she was delighted to accept. But I'm wondering if we should have another one?

How many are you having?

    We were advised by our venue that two is 'normal' as it lengthens the ceremony time to around half an hour

    Actually just realised we had two. I had a friend do a reading and the magistrate read us a poem at the end of the ceremony.

    We are having 2 readings and we are saying some additional vows too. In our ceremony booklet there was the option of having 3 readings so I don't think anything is 'normal', just do what you think is right for you

    We're going for two too. I want to make the ceremony as long as possible otherwise it feels like it's over in a flash.

    Just to throw a different answer in there. We're not having any.

    For us, the ceremony is a mere formality so we're happy for it to be as quick as as informal as possible.

    First time around I had 2 readings. One by my best friend and CBM and one by the Registrar. My CBM messed hers up though which was funny at the time but really annoying in the video.
