Wedding Bible Verses

"Thank you for helping me decide which Bible verses to pick for my wedding."

Using wedding Bible verses is one of the best ways to create a Christian wedding. These are normally read at most weddings. You can add special meaning to your ceremony by choosing your favorites.

They can be read by the pastor, or one or more of your friends or family members. The readings can be inserted almost anywhere in the ceremony such as during the Unity Candle portion or the Unity Sand portion of the ceremony.

Wedding Bible verses can be read out of many translations with the two most popular being the NIV or New International Version for its modern language and the King James Version (KJV), loved by many for the sheer poetic sound. Take some time and sit down with your fiance several months prior to the wedding and go through familiar passages. Choose your Scripture readings together so they will have meaning for you as a couple at your marriage ceremony.

There are many beautiful passages that can be incorporated into your ceremony.

Among the favorites is I Corinthians 13, commonly known as the love chapter. Sometimes chapter 13 is read in full during the ceremony. Other couples choose only verses 4-8, while some also tack verse 13 on to the end of these five verses.

Another popular choice of wedding Bible verses is Genesis 2:20-24. This is where God made Eve for Adam so he would have companionship in The Garden.

In Ephesians 5:22-33, Paul compares Christ's love for the church with the love a groom should have for his bride.

Paul talks directly to the bride and groom in Colossians 3:18-19.

Solomon sums up the beauty of marriage in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12.

Jesus talks about marriage and Adam and Eve and their relationship in Matthew 19:4-6. Here, he quotes Scripture as above from Genesis 2.

Also, in Colossians, Paul wraps up how a husband and wife (and the whole body of believers in Christ) should treat each other. This is a beautiful passage about love and forgiveness so important in the marriage relationship. It is Colossians 3:12-17.

There is also love poetry in the Bible.

Aside from Scripture, there are many beautiful poems and other writings to choose from as well, some Christian and others secular. There are many beautiful love songs to be sung or read as well, whatever you prefer. Remember that you want to glorify Christ on your special day as the center of your union so Scripture is important.

Other readings are fine to use in addition to your favorite wedding Bible verses. The Scripture passages on this page and on the pages following the links above are the most popular wedding passages.

Reading Scripture at your wedding is a great way to incorporate members of your family who are not in the wedding party. For instance, instead of just the minister reading from the Bible, have a step parent, step sibling, aunt, uncle, cousin, or grandparent read a passage. They will feel that they have a very special part in your wedding and they do. What is more important than God's Word as you become husband and wife? Make sure that you list all those who will be reading in your wedding program if you choose to have one.

Consider printing out the wedding Bible verses in your program so your guests will have the verses in their hands. For some, this may be the only way the Word of God gets in their hands. They may take the program home and read the verses again and decide they would like to read the Bible. You never know how God will choose to work in their lives.
