Wedding Bible Verses
Most Christian wedding ceremonies include a reading or two about love from the Bible. Since the Bible has a lot to say when it comes to love, relationships, and marriage, it can be really hard to choose. So where do you start? You want to have something unique, right? But also something that makes sense and has a lot of meaning to you and your future spouse. You could go for the super common bible verses from Song of Solomon or 1 Corinthians, or you could opt for something a bit more original like Hosea. Since John was Jesus’ self-proclaimed “most loved disciple” he sure wrote a ton about love. Ah the choices are already overwhelming, aren’t they? To help you narrow it down, we chose some of our bride’s most favorite verses and turned them into pretty quotes with calligraphy so you could get a taste of what your choice might look like as part of your wedding invitation, program, etc. Let us know which ones you end up choosing (even if they’re not on this list) in the comments below!
