We’re big fans of a meaningful wedding reading around here, and today we’re sharing a collection especially close to the heart: wedding readings for parents. Asking your mum or dad to share a reading during your ceremony is a beautiful way to involve them in the day while also honouring everything they’ve poured into your love story so far.
These readings speak of blessings, of wisdom, of unconditional love. They reflect the hopes parents carry for their children and the joy of watching them begin a new chapter. We’ve gathered a mix of favourites, from heartfelt to funny, poetic and everything in between.
Here’s one that beautifully captures the emotion of watching a child grow up and fall in love:
“I loved you from the very start, you stole my breath, embraced my heart. Our life together has just begun, you’re part of me, my little one. As mother and child, we’ll never part, you’re in my memories and in my heart.”
