Ceremony Readings

religious works if you are having a religious ceremony. You can even take the pen into your own hand to create personal and meaningful readings. Decide whether you want the readings to be read by you and your partner, the officiant, or by another person. Sometimes you might be given a reading by a friend or family member, which they will read, or you may write readings to each other, which you will read in turn. If you write something together you should also read it together. For the readings, remember to practice as much as possible. The words should feel like second nature to you and flow off the tongue as if they were spontaneous. When you practice, be sure to speak loudly and clearly. Understand what it is you are reading (if it is not your own) so that you can really feel the words. !
