Suitable reading for a teenage step-son

kirstycat, 21 November, 2010 at 21:42 Posted on Planning 0 2

My OH has asked his 19 year old son to do a reading at our wedding. We weren't sure if he'd want to do it but he seemed really pleased to be asked. But now I'm concerned about finding something suitable. It has to be non-religious as we're having a civil ceremony. And I can't imagine he'd want to read out anything too slushy or romantic when it's about his dad. So, any ideas ladies?

    This is fun:

    Falling in love is like owning a dog

    First of all, it's a big responsibility,
    especially in a city like New York.
    So think long and hard before deciding on love.
    On the other hand, love gives you a sense of security:
    when you're walking down the street late at night
    and you have a leash on love
    ain't no one going to mess with you.
    Because crooks and muggers think love is unpredictable.
    Who knows what love could do in its own defense?

    On cold winter nights, love is warm.
    It lies between you and lives and breathes
    and makes funny noises.
    Love wakes you up all hours of the night with its needs.
    It needs to be fed so it will grow and stay healthy.

    Love doesn't like being left alone for long.
    But come home and love is always happy to see you.
    It may break a few things accidentally in its passion for life,
    but you can never be mad at love for long.

    Is love good all the time? No! No!
    Love can be bad. Bad, love, bad! Very bad love.

    Love makes messes.
    Love leaves you little surprises here and there.
    Love needs lots of cleaning up after.
    Sometimes you just want to get love fixed.
    Sometimes you want to roll up a piece of newspaper
    and swat love on the nose,
    not so much to cause pain,
    just to let love know Don't you ever do that again!

    Sometimes love just wants to go for a nice long walk.
    Because love loves exercise.
    It runs you around the block and leaves you panting.
    It pulls you in several different directions at once,
    or winds around and around you
    until you're all wound up and can't move.

    But love makes you meet people wherever you go.
    People who have nothing in common but love
    stop and talk to each other on the street.

    Throw things away and love will bring them back,
    again, and again, and again.
    But most of all, love needs love, lots of it.
    And in return, love loves you and never stops.

    Or this, by Pam Ayres (but it does rhyme, not sure how he'd feel)

    He never leaves the seat up

    Or wet towels upon the floor

    The toothpaste has the lid on

    And he always shuts the door!

    She’s very clean and tidy

    Though she may sometimes delude

    Leave your things out at your peril

    In a second they’ll have moved!

    He’s a very active person

    As are all his next of kin

    Where as she likes lazy days

    He’ll still drag her to the gym!

    He romances her and dines her

    Home cooked dinners and the like

    He even knows her favourite food

    And spoils her day and night!

    She’s thoughtful when he looks at her
    
A smile upon his face

    Will he look that good in 50 years

    When his dentures aren’t in place?!

    He says he loves her figure

    And her mental prowess too

    But when gravity takes her over

    Will she charm with her IQ?

    She says she loves his kindness

    And his patience is a must

    And of course she thinks he’s handsome

    Which in her eyes is a plus!

    They’re both not wholly perfect

    But who are we to judge

    He can be pig headed

    Where as she won’t even budge!

    All that said and done

    They love the time they spent together

    And I hope as I’m sure you do

    That this fine day will last forever.

    He’ll be more than just her husband

    He’ll also be her friend

    And she’ll be more than just his wife

    She’s be his soul mate ‘till the end.
