Ooooh. Steph. I like that one. I'll definitely look at the others, but we may have a winner!
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I am knee-deep in wedding reading whatnot these days.
I edited to give you a link to the passage from Ruth, which I love dearly.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
Lovely for the single folks in the audience.
Eta: I personally might do some judicious editing.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Good one, Steph. (And Trudy is largely correct about Song of Solomon).
And like Connie said, Book of Ruth. That was the first to pop into my mind (after 1 Corinthians, of course).
Found these:
Colossians 3:14
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Ephesians 4:2
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
We used to sit in the balcony reading Song of Solomon during the boring parts in church.

DJ,
I laughed ruefully. I did.

Well, a reading for a wedding presumes a couple is the primary audience.

Of course, and I by no means mean to suggest that the message should be "this is a life choice no better or worse than any other and really no big deal". But I do kind of think the pity can be left implied.

Brenda, I feel you (consensually only, of course). But remember there's also Paul's advice that it's better to remain single. There's something for everyone in there!
bonny, obviously won't be sending those verses over for your context.
