I guess I was trying to state that I want readings light on dogma, hellfire and brimstone, etc. The book the deacon gave us didn’t have much that appealed to me so I figured the dopers would have some good recommendations. Brimstone and hellfire? Dude, what Catholic church were you raised in? Personally, if you’re serious about this, you should pick up a Bible and read it. Something should grab you as being appropriate. And, honestly, it’s the least you can do given it’s one of the few things in the entire ceremony that you will have control over. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/atheist-getting-married-in-catholic-church-need-help-with-readings/525665)._
