Well-chosen readings and music can really help to make your ceremony unique. Readings are also a wonderful way of involving friends or relatives on the day. Finding the right words to express how you feel about each other and what marriage means to you can make for some very special moments. There is a small selection of popular readings to get you started on our website: www.hants.gov.uk/birthsdeathsandceremonies/ marriage/vowsreadingsandmusic
Music choices also help to make a wedding special. From traditional musical pieces written for weddings to modern pop, and everything in between, music has a powerful impact on everyone’s emotions. Religious music is only allowed at religious weddings (in a church for example). If you’re unsure what might be suitable, let us know your music choices and we can confirm whether it is appropriate. Don’t forget to check with your venue to make sure you bring the music in the right format (USB, iPod, CD, MP3). A library might not be the first port of call for couples planning a wedding, but there’s more on offer than you may realise; with access to all the books, magazines, craft groups and online resources you need to plan your day. Join today at www.hants.gov.uk/library and: • Use the eMagazine service for free and unlimited access to the latest edition of ‘You and Your Wedding’ • Find books for help writing witty, memorable speeches • Join a craft workshop and make your own invitations, place setting cards, etc. • Find a dance class to learn your first dance as a couple • Prepare for your honeymoon by borrowing travel guides, maps and language books
