| This Corinthians passage is the most famous biblical wedding reading because it speaks directly of love. This reading can either be just the first paragraph, or both paragraphs may be read. |
| |
1st Corinthians - Chapter 13 |
| |
Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, but have no love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.Love suffers long and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up. Love rejoices in the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. |
| |
But where there be prophecies, they shall fail; where there be tongues, they shall cease; where there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became an adult, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. |

Many people love the following reading from the Book of Ruth because it is one of the parts of the bible really focusing on a woman, plus it's a meaningful and heartfelt message about commitment. |

A Reading from the Book of Ruth 1:16-17 |
| |
But Ruth said, "Do not press me to leave you or to turn back from following you!
Where you go, I will go; Where you lodge, I will lodge;
Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.
Where you die, I will die --there will I be buried.
May the Lord do thus and so to me,
and more as well, if even death parts me from you!" |

"God is love." |
| |
For many people, this is their favorite passage from the bible and the meaning, "God is Love", sums up their personal relationship with God.
1st John - Chapter 4 |
| |
We read in the first epistle of John,
Let us love not in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.... Let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.... He who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. |
