    We're having a humanist ceremony and I think we'll need to add some readings or it will be too short!!

    Any recommendations? All the poems etc. I like don't seem appropriate and last time I choose a reading (for a funeral) I was told it was very dark :p

    We used Chapter One of One Thousand by OJ Preston in our Humanist ceremony. Our celebrant sent us on a huge list of readings that were great.

    Pinterest has tons of suggestions. That's where I got most of ours from.

    I only came across this poem when I was looking for readings. I was so happy I did too as I'm a civil engineer! Needless to say it was a definite from the get go. I must route out the other reading we have earmarked at the moment and let you know

    Edit: Marriage Joins Two People In The Circle Of Its Love" by Edmund O'Neill is the second reading that we've singled out at the moment

    We had Pam Ayres- he never leaves the seat up. My best friend read it and it was brilliant

    We had the owl and the pussy cat as one of our reading.
