Weddings are something every woman looks forward to in her life. Men too, can’t wait for the day they get to tie the knot with the woman they truly love the most in the world and they can finally settle down and start a family if they don’t already have one. Any wedding is a special one, but what many people are nervous about when it comes to a wedding of someone they know, is the readings. You may be really nervous if you have to stand up and say something, whether it is your daughter, son, sister, brother or cousin, they would like you to say something. It is normally the best man and the maid of honor that have to do readings, or rather speeches, but others are welcome too.
Seen as it is a wedding and a day of love, you might want to read something related, something with the topic of love, marriage, true love, happiness, new beginnings, etc. If you don’t already know of a poem, there are some beautiful ones written by Shakespeare. When reading, you should first include something personal from yourself to the couple and then proceed with the reading. As this is a Hawaiian wedding, you may use that fact as well when searching for something appropriate to say. Hawaii wedding readings can be anything you think will be appropriate. As you are at the wedding and directly speaking to the couple, you must know them pretty well, therefore, you should know what would be suitable to say to them.
You can also try a reading from Kahil Gibran as his work would suit the theme of the wedding too. Most of his work is romantic when he speaks about love, so that would be great to read. By reading something from a famous author, the couple will know that you put a lot of time and effort into find the suitable reading, but also you might want to consider doing something right from the heart. It will mean more to the couple, but as we know, not everyone is good at writing something for a Hawaii wedding reading, so a quoted poem of other piece will be perfect too.
If they are a religious couple and you think they would be okay with a reading from the bible that is an option too. Remember to ad your introduction, maybe just a congratulations with a bit more feeling, and then going on to reading a verse from the bible. Some great passages that are sure to suit the theme are;
- Ruth 4,
- Genesis 2:18-24,
- John 2: 1-11,
- Revelation 19: 7-9,
- Proverbs 5: 15-19,
- Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12,
- Hebrews 13:4,
- Corinthians 11:3,
- Corinthians 7,
- Corinthians 13: 1-13,
- Corinthians 11: 8-9 and
- Ephesians 5: 22-23.
Remember that you should only use this as your Hawaii wedding readings if you think the couple will approve of it.
This is the day the couple is going to remember forever, and it would be nice for you to be a part of that memory. What would be even more memorable and special to the couple, is if you could memorize your speech. This is difficult, but it will be worth it. Whether it is something you made up, or it is a reading from an author, try your best to read the speech from your head, although you should have the paper with you in case you get stuck.
