Wedding Ceremony Readings - Dos, Don'ts and Examples

I'll Marry You; the UK Wedding Podcast

Welcome to I'll Marry You, a podcast by Olivia Coleman: full of tips and tricks from the UK wedding scene, interviews with industry experts, and a WHOLE LOT of oversharing!

In this episode, I'm going to talk to you about having readings at your ceremony - some dos, some don'ts, but also some EXAMPLE READINGS OF SOME OF MY FAVOURITES!

That's right, you're getting a selection of dramatic readings direct to your ears, and you have my blessing to just snip them out of this recording and play them over speakers in your ceremony if that's what you really want to do. Although I'd rather you got a friend to do it live. Actually I'd rather you paid me to do it live, but we live in an imperfect world.

MEMBERSHIPS!

We now have some memberships and some advertising slots! You can find all of the information here, but basically if you enjoy the show and want to give us a little financial support to help us keep making it, there is the Family and Friends tier, which gets you all of our episodes without adverts (when we have adverts) and permanent membership to a WhatsApp community for all of our listeners to chat and share weddings tips, and if you are either planning your wedding OR are just a big ole SuperFan, we have The Wedding Party tier, where you get everything in Family and Friends, but you can also join a video call with me to drink wine, be inappropriate and discuss your wedding plans!

If you're not in a position to support us financially that is TOTALLY FINE AND WE LOVE YOU ANYWAY! The show will always be available for free on podcast apps and YouTube, but do consider following/subscribing on your podcast app of choice. And if you think we deserve it, give us five stars on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Podchaser! It doesn't bring in more listeners, but it DOES let them know that this is worth listening to if they find it!

ADVERTISING!

If you're a wedding supplier, in the membership link there are also three ad slots! We've got (and I don't like thinking about this) literally THOUSANDS of listeners now, and most of them are planning their weddings, so if you want to reach our audience and have me tell them about what you do, you can book ad slots on all of our past and upcoming episodes.

If you're interested in having me join your wedding journey as your celebrant, or if you want any more information on what I do you can find more exciting details on my website: www.oliviacolemancelebrant.co.uk.

You can also find me on Instagram @notthatoliviacoleman, Twitter on @illmarryyoupc - give me a follow!

I would LOVE to hear from you if you have any wedding news or questions that you'd like to have answered on the show; you can email me, use my website contact form, or my DMs are open!
