"We are advised by the Registrar General that under no circumstances can any religious service, or any words or phrases with a religious connotation, be used during your civil wedding. The items you chose have to be approved by the Superintendent Registrar, usually no later than 1 month before the date of your wedding.
Examples of tracts, which are not appropriate, are extracts from the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, the Prophet and Howard's End. Moreover the Registrar General considers that the omission or selective reference from any piece would not alter it's religious character.
Having said all that it still leaves lots to choose from, anything from Shakespeare to Winnie the Pooh or W H Auden to Pam Ayres."
Why is "Howard's End" considered inappropriate? Google hasn't helped.
