Wedding Reading from The Princess Bride

We love seeing personalisation in wedding ceremonies and one of the best places to put those personalised touches is within the wedding readings. Registrars are continuing to be more flexible with what you may have as a reading and of course in celebration ceremonies, there are no restrictions at all! You can choose a poem, sonnet, song or your favourite lines from a film to tell your loved ones just how much you care!
