Yet another wedding brainstorming question: We're planning an extremely short ceremony-- procession, vows, look, we're married!, and then actual signing of paperwork. And because signing paperwork isn't that exciting, I wanted to have [livejournal.com profile] heuchera do a short reading during that part, which is one of those "what a nice idea" things that um... also requires something to read.

I find that most of my love-related passages are not particularly wedding-appropriate (the same goes for music, actually) and so I'm opening the field for suggestions. Does anyone know of any perhaps 1-3 minute passages from literature or other, appropriate for reading at a wedding? Prose and poetry are both fair game.

Ahem. I wonder about the wedding appropriateness of these, too, but I like:
