What are some of the most overused poems/readings at weddings?

Gretchen K asked:


Just curious if anyone has any opinions on overused poems or short readings at weddings (excluding religious/biblical readings). Have you gone to a lot of weddings and noticed a trend, like the same poem or author cropping up in the readings?

For example, excerpts from the love and marriage sections of The Prophet are often used in wedding ceremonies, so some people may consider that to be an unoriginal choice.

Maybe I should clarify and say “often used” instead of “over used”…often these things are used so much because they are fitting for the event!

      I would say too - often used - Corinthians. However, I don’t at all get tired of hearing it because it is so beautiful - and meaningful for THAT particular couple getting married at that time.
