However, the traditional church service, where the readings and, in fact, the entire ceremony, is based on religious traditions, is no longer the only option. Now, you can choose to get married virtually anywhere and, with the correctly certified person, you can create your own marriage vows and non-religious wedding readings. With so many beautiful buildings and open spaces to chose from it\u2019s not surprising that the church is no longer the most common place for a wedding ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, if you\u2019ve decided to create your own reading, or use a pre-written non-religious version, then you may suddenly find that it\u2019s very difficult to choose the right one for your wedding day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of options available, that\u2019s why this guide is here! We can help you to choose the very best non-religious wedding readings to ensure your wedding day is truly special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the following readings are inspired by movies, famous books, and poems.

The Art Of Marriage by Wilfred Arlan Peterson<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Marriage is an important milestone for many couples.

How Do I Love Thee by Elizabeth Barrett Browning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about how much you love someone is a good starting point for any wedding reading. This reading is perhaps one of the most famous non-religious wedding readings and a fantastic way to express your undying love for each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wording may be archaic but the words are as true today as when they were written.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"770\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bD9ycWMiTkw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u201cHow do I love thee?

Buried Light by Beau Taplin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This reading is short but it is an apt analogy for the start of your married life, as well as for life in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BL4.jpg?w=770&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Buried Light by Beau Taplin, non-religious wedding readings\" class=\"wp-image-4403\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u201cHome is not where you are from it is where you belong.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Some of us travel the whole world to find it.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Others, find it in a person\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If you read this slowly it will allow time for the words to sink in during your wedding ceremony. Although it is short and simple, it is also powerful and true. Take a moment to consider the words and be grateful that you\u2019ve found that person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can always be inspired by famous lines, readings or wedding ceremonies in the movies, there are several of these that make great non-religious wedding readings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8.

However, unless you\u2019ve watched this film a multitude of times you may not realize how apt some of the wording is for your wedding ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve looked at the following you\u2019ll realize that this not only makes a great reading, it can even be customized to express the things you love about your partner. It\u2019s a great way of getting both a smile and a real message across during your wedding ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"770\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4vHB0huQ-BU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u201cI love that you get cold when it&#8217;s 71 degrees out.

I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it&#8217;s not because I&#8217;m lonely, and it&#8217;s not because it&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Eve.
