Readings related to football!?

Church wedding or civil ceremony?

HI AJ - it's a civil ceremony!

The Vicar at St Nicholas's Church in Old Stevenage used to have a great line in football jokes aimed at the groom. His sermons were always a thing to look out for at weddings...

Not a helpful post as it suggests nothing...although the post made me remember when this idea has been done before to great effect...

Peter

Peter, that's the sort of thing i have in my head (though it would need to be non-religious!)

Any ideas anyone!? I don't think the usher (or me) for that matter is imaginative to write something ourselves!

How about this:

When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Sorry if you support Man Utd....

Hi Mooey - he's a Chelsea fan who hates liverpool (and man u, arsenal, spurs, leeds.... etc etc!) i'm afraid!

Thanks for the thought though!

We had A Lovely Love Story by Edward Monkton and where it read "overly fond of things" we changed it to football. My H's sons read alternative verses and it was really cute and the 9 year old got a few laughs.

Then along came the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
The Lovely Other Dinosaur melted the Dinosaur’s cage with kind words and loving thoughts.

I like this Dinosaur thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
Although he is fierce he is also tender and he is funny.
He is also quite clever though I will not tell him this for now.

I like this Lovely Other Dinosaur, thought the Dinosaur.
She is beautiful and she is different and she smells so nice.
She is also a free spirit which is a quality I much admire in a dinosaur.

But he can be so distant and so peculiar at times, thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
He is also overly fond of things.
Are all Dinosaurs so overly fond of things?

But her mind skips from here to there so quickly thought the Dinosaur.
She is also uncommonly keen on shopping.
Are all Lovely Other Dinosaurs so uncommonly keen on shopping?

I will forgive his peculiarity and his concern for things, thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.
For they are part of what makes him a richly charactered individual.

I will forgive her skipping mind and her fondness for shopping, thought the Dinosaur.
For she fills our life with beautiful thoughts and wonderful surprises. Besides,
I am not unkeen on shopping either.

Now the Dinosaur and the Lovely Other Dinosaur are old.
Look at them.
Together they stand on the hill telling each other stories and feeling the warmth of the sun on their backs.

And that, my friends, is how it is with love.
Let us all be Dinosaurs and Lovely Other Dinosaurs together.
For the sun is warm.
And the world is a beautiful place

Ha, my OH is an Everton fan - as is his whole family. Would be quite funny to have this at our wedding! Might be the shortest marriage ever though..

We're red plastic Scousers in this house and we were thinking of having it played during our wedding, but I find it quite a sad song as I associate it with Hillsborough as well as LFC. ☹️

I love that song but OH hates it for football reasons. Carousel is one of my favourite musicals and that's my reason for loving it.

That’s such a unique idea for a reading – incorporating football into the ceremony really personalizes the whole experience! My partner and I are both massive football fans, and we’re actually considering a themed section during the vows too. We even looked into some fun ways to keep the guests engaged during the reception, like interactive sports elements. If you're into the sport beyond just readings, you might find some creative inspiration here – it’s a cool platform for sports lovers with a fresh take on engagement and community.

That’s such a creative idea, tying football into a reading about love and teamwork. Sports already carry so many parallels: trust, communication, celebrating wins together, and supporting each other through tough times. You could even adapt a famous football quote into something meaningful for the occasion. And for day-to-day fans, apps like Sportzfy APK Download keep that passion alive by streaming live matches and highlights, showing how football connects people everywhere. Just like marriage, it’s all about being on the same team.

Norwich City Football Club, nicknamed “The Canaries,” is a professional football team based in Norwich, England. Founded in 1902, the club has a rich history in English football, including multiple promotions to the Premier League. Known for their yellow and green colors, they play home matches at Carrow Road. Fans celebrate a strong community spirit and memorable moments on the pitch. Whether it’s historic victories or key players, everything about Norwich City Football Club reflects passion, tradition, and resilience.

Thanks for info

That’s a legit concern — massive matches like Arsenal vs Spurs or Arsenal vs Chelsea are gone in minutes on official releases. When I was checking alternative sources, I landed on a football event listing service that lets you view all scheduled Arsenal home fixtures with multiple seating options and price tiers. It’s not just a generic list, you can actually filter by date and section and see what’s left. Somewhere in the middle of this discovery process, I came across Arsenal tickets listed with sections and match dates clearly laid out, which made picking the right fixture way less stressful.

I enjoy watching soccer tournaments. Platforms such as bass-wins.net allow you to keep track of the entire game day without unnecessary fuss. Users can view the schedule in advance, mark the matches they are interested in, and return to them later. This helps to build a consistent plan of action and avoid chaotic decisions. When the process is organized, attention is focused on analysis rather than searching for information.

I also love everything about football, from discussing transfers to watching matches. I often place bets and track my odds, so I check here regularly to stay updated on real-time events. It’s really convenient for all information to be updated quickly, and you can react quickly to changes as the game progresses.

Choosing football-themed readings for a wedding ceremony is such a creative way to blend personal passion with meaningful moments, using classic match commentary or player quotes to capture teamwork and loyalty. Somewhere in the middle of discussing how football inspires love and commitment beyond the pitch, I remembered https://patrickspins1.org.uk/ which offers live sports betting, casino games, and a generous 450% welcome bonus for new UK players looking for excitement. In conclusion, just as football readings add energy to a wedding, betting and casino platforms add extra thrill to watching live matches when enjoyed responsibly.
