We're familiar with planning second marriages in these parts (our own Megan is doing it right now!), and let me tell you, it's not easy finding wedding readings for second marriages. Maybe it's feeling like you have to downplay it and thus avoiding it in the ceremony? But acknowledging that this isn't your first rodeo in the marriage game is nothing to hide and something to celebrate. You found love again and you're ready to party about it!

Let's find you some awesome readings, poems, and song lyrics for your second marriage.

Feel free to dig into our readings archives to find more (and less specific) weddings readings for your ceremony. And check out our full second marriage archive for advice and tips for getting on that saddle again.

Mouthful of Forevers by Clementine von Radics

And I will not be afraid
of your scars.

A little cheekiness from Oscar Wilde:

Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
- Oscar Wilde

Wishes On Second Marriage by Shishir

Life has given you this new chance.
Your positive thoughts now must enhance.
It's time to be more responsible.
Progress only then will be possible.
It's the result of your past good deeds.
Remove from your life all useless weeds.
A good life partner will give you courage.
Success will be at your door throughout the ages.
She will enlarge your beautiful family,
And the boat of your life will sail very easily.
My good wishes will always be with you,
And happiness will come in a break-less queue.

Songs about second love

"The Second Time Around" by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van (sung by Frank Sinatra)

Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young

Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around

Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around

"Scars And All" by Jeff Carson

You loved me scars and all

"I'd Love To Be Your Last" by Gretchen Wilson

If I had it my way, this would be the first time
That I made love
And I would be the first girl that your hands touched
But we've both done our share of livin'
Taking chances we've been given
I've never been too big on looking back
I don't care if I'm your first love,
But I'd love to be your last

If I could do it over I'd have waited for this moment
So I could give my heart to you unbroken
But if our mistakes brought us together
Does it really matter whether
We were saints or sinners in the past?
I don't care if I'm your first love,
But I'd love to be your last

If you're marring the same person again!

Second Time Love by Joyce Hemsley

Falling in love with you again,
Calling in dreams, for one sweet kiss,
Strolling along down "memory" lane,
Rolling on waves of magical bliss.

Evening is here, the rain has gone,
Gleaming stars cluster high above,
Leaving soon, for a new honeymoon,
Believing in "second time love."
