The readings at a Catholic wedding liturgy are a proclamation of God’s Word and of the Church’s faith about marriage. For this reason, they are limited to readings from the scriptures (the Bible). There are three readings to select for your ceremony (1st reading, 2nd reading and the Gospel reading). There are several options for each, included in the links below: 

• 1st reading (from the Old Testament) 
• 2nd reading (from the New Testament) 
• The Gospel reading

You may find it helpful to reflect prayerfully on each reading and to choose those that speak to your hopes and dreams for your Christian marriage.
