Asking someone to do a reading

Yeah - I'll definitely ask her to help choose the reading. I was going to ask her today, but I think it MAY be better coming from her brother instead of me.

Their mom is REALLY not happy about it. It's caused a lot of problems actually. It's been seven months and it still comes up about how sad the wedding will be because her three kids won't be standing up at the alter. Zero interest in the wedding now because of it it feels like. But there has been no excitement since we got engaged anyway. Pretty hurtful over all.

I'm trying to keep in mind that we will be family and to try and rise above it that they can't be happy for us.

His sister is also pregnant and due 5 weeks before our wedding.. I actually think it wouldn't make sense for her to be a bridesmaid and be more of a burden for her.

We are going to ask her to do a reading, and I think I'll get corsages (even though I don't prefer them) for her, her mum and their grandmother to make them feel part of it. Hopefully that's enough.

Do you already have a reading picked out? If not maybe ask for her input on one to choose, that way she can feel comfortable in what she will be reading and may possibly pick something that's special to her as well.

I'd say invite her over for dinner and say that you guys had been thinking of a special way to involve her in the wedding and that you would like her to do a reading during the ceremony.
