Is there anything cuter or sweeter than one of the youngest members of your wedding party, standing up in front of everyone to do a reading at your ceremony? It always brings a smile to our face, and this wedding ceremony reading below will certainly tick that box if you're looking for something for your own children to read at your wedding. How Children See Your Day by Sandra Cook puts into words perfectly, how all the fuss and frantic fun might seem when viewed through young eyes. As this is quite a long poem, it might be one for a slightly older child to read. We have more ceremony readings for children and quotes from well-loved children's stories, sweet poems and Disney movies here too that are the perfect choice for a kid's reading, as well as more darling ways to include your children in your day here.
How Children See Your Day by Sandra Cook
Today you’re getting married; some say you’re getting wed
There’s crowds of people in our house, and strangers in my bed!
We had to get up early, take breakfast all together
Allowed to have the TV on to listen to the weather
Shower time was hectic, should have seen the queue
Girls were taking twice as long and air was turning blue
Hair was being straightened, perfume being sprayed
Nails were being painted, the boys of course delayed
Lots of make-up lots of shoes, sparkles in the hair
Pretty cards and parcels, flowers everywhere
Everyone had new clothes, Dad even wore a suit
Mum is looking stunning, and I look kinda cute
Posh car turned up at the door, took my Mum away
Left me with the other kids but told I couldn’t play
Lots of photos lots of fuss, what’s it all about?
Parties are for having fun, there’s no need to shout!
Mummy looks real pretty, Daddy’s not too bad
Someone here is crying but doesn’t look real sad
Lots of people laughing, sometimes very loud
Then it goes all quiet, lady talking to the crowd
Daddy holds Mum closely, putting on a ring
Says some words and makes a speech and makes them cry again
Mummy takes another ring and puts it on his finger
Says some words and makes a speech and then we hear a singer
Someone says a poem, lots of people clap
Waking up the funny man who’s taking a quick nap
Now we are all standing, watching them both kiss
They look so very happy, think they call it bliss!
Time to do some writing in a great big book
And with all those cameras, which way shall we look?
Is it nearly over, can I go and play?
Let's come back tomorrow, we can do it all again?
