Your beach wedding readings can be as general or personal as you want them to be. There might be a particular poem, song or hymn that you empathize with or has a special meaning to you and that you would like to incorporate into your readings. Alternatively you could choose a piece from a book of love poetry, or spiritual readings. Ask one of your friends or relatives to read your chosen beach wedding readings or verses on the day. Just make sure that you choose someone who is confident and can project his or her voice. Especially if you will not have a microphone.

Your beach wedding readings can be light-hearted or deeply moving. Make your wedding ceremony special to you in any way you can. After all, this is what the wedding is all about!

If you would like your ceremony to reflect your beach theme with a ocean or sea theme wedding verse, then look no further. Below are a few beautiful beach wedding readings, lyrics and poems that mention the sea or the tides - perfect for beach wedding ceremonies:

From "Gift From The Sea" by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom, in the sense that the dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern.

The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. Relationships must be like islands, one must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits - islands, surrounded and interrupted by the sea, and continually visited and abandoned by the tides.

This is a beautiful and truly spiritual beach wedding reading that is very popular:

An excerpt from "The Prophet" by Khalil Gabran

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of heavens dance between you.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
