No, not mine!
My sister is getting married in August (hurrah, etc.) and she and her fiancé have asked me to do a reading at their wedding.
I could be from the Bible (as long as it's not too much about Jesus(!) or the bit from Corinthians about 'Love is...' or the bit in Ephesians about obeying your husband), but I get the impression they'd prefer something different.
So I thought I might choose a single verse from Scripture (because it's important to me) that links with whatever reading I choose from the world of secular literature.
I like The Little Prince, but his brother had that, so that's out. I have been promised the status of Favourite Sister-in-Law* if I find something appropriate from The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so you get the level we're working at...
Ideas of any form, even if they don't seem relevant, will interest me. I need inspiration!
*Yes, he does have others. Cheeky!
