Sources of readings
The major general wedding sites have lists of suggested readings. However, if you are looking for something different, the following are URLs of free literary databases that you can search on with keywords such as 'marriage', 'wedding', or 'love' for ideas for readings for civil weddings:
http://lionheart.chadwyck.co.uk/poetry/search: "This collection of love poems, spanning four centuries of literature in English, has been taken from our English,Americanand African-American Poetrydatabases. The poems were selected by consulting anthologies of love poetry with further items being identified by conducting specific searches on key terms. Some major authors which appear in the main databases have been omitted for copyright purposes." (extract from publisher Chadwyck-Healey's description). Very useful and comprehensive.
http://www.bartleby.com: An excellent souce that includes an online historic etiquette book.
http://www.recmusic.org/lieder/: Database of lyrics of classical songs, containing poems by many hundreds of authors
http://www.lyricz.12inter.net/: Another searchable source of song lyrics (non-classical) and poetry (you can register to submit your own poetry)
