Hot wedding trend: reading children's books at the ceremony

Wedding trends rip through the marriage industry each year with no real rhyme or reason. One year we're all holding up fake mustaches in photos and drinking things out of Mason jars, the next we’re watching fire dancers and everybody's barefoot. Sure! As long as there’s an open bar, sure. The big thing going this wedding season is, readings from children's books during the ceremony. Whole books like "Guess How Much I Love You," or selections from longer works like "The Velveteen Rabbit" or "The Little Prince."  This trend  unlike the mustaches  often has a real purpose. Many couples have children from previous relationships at the ceremony, and this is a sensitive way to include them. [Source]
