I'm the matron (blech--matron is just not a nice word) of honor at my best friend's wedding, and she wants me to do a reading during the wedding (as opposed to a speech at the reception). She'd like prose, and, as she puts it, "long enough to fill up time, but short enough so that the kids don't get fussy." Moreover, it cannot be biblical or religious. So, does anyone know any good prose on love and/or marriage that fits the bill?

There are some exerpts from Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke that might be just what she's looking for. I'll find the ones I'm thinking of this afternoon.

You guys are hilarious. Yes, I'm married...and while I'm very flattered that you think I'm that young, I'm actually 26. I did get married somewhat young--22--(my mom wasn't at all happy about it at first), but it's worked out ok. Only one person on the board has actually met him in person, though, so I don't if he's technically real.

Megan -- One person besides you? 'Cause you count, ya know. But unless he registers, he's not real no matter how many Hatrackers he meets.

ElJay--Trevor's got the right of it; he'll never be real cause he'll never register (silly, silly man).
JT, while it's not out of the realm of possibility that you'd meet him, it would most likely happen entirely by chance (not unlike when I met Allegra). And as for you writing something--well, I think I'll stick with authors from earlier time periods. Posts: 4077 | Registered: Jun 2003
