fent99 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) My wife is looking for a reading for her sisters wedding in April and a thought she'd had is to read some song lyrics. I thought that something in the great american songbook should work but most songs are about love from one person to another rather than appropriate to read for your sister. Can anyone recommend a song that this would work for? Anyone good with lyrics? A great reading recommendation might be nearly as good. Her sisters name is Laura by the way. Not sure this is in the right subject so feel free to move but ... Edited January 31, 2013 by fent99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
