Readings for Second Marriages
Wedding readings for second marriages, blended families and later-in-life weddings — about love that has been tested, chosen with care.
A second wedding, or a wedding later in life, often calls for readings with a little more experience in them: love that has been through something, companionship valued as much as romance, gratitude for arriving where you are. Robert Burns’s “John Anderson, My Jo,” about a couple who have climbed the hill together, is the classic example.
These readings suit couples who have been married before, those bringing children into a new family, and anyone who wants their ceremony to sound grown-up. For writing your own promises, see how to write your own vows.
