Among the reasons is that The Bible contains the early history of marriage and the foundation upon which it was based, and upon which a marriage can be based to ensure it lasts. The Bible has much to say about the principles which guide a successful marriage since God is the author of love, respect, equality, selflessness and any other quality one wishes to think of that enables relationships to survive. Over the years, the couple need to keep these things in their hearts and minds and there's no better way to do so than to include it at the celebration and beginning of their married life together.
Answer:
God CREATED marriage and the "family" structure for the stable bearing and rearing of children in the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of His Truth. He MUST therefore be acknowledged at weddings.
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." (Gen.2:24)
"...God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. And God BLESSED them, and God said unto them, BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY, and replenish the earth..." (Gen.1:27-28).

Readings (by the priest) form the bible, sermons (by the priest) about what the bible says and, in the catholic church, iconography and art showing the bible stories pictorially.
There is no set number of readings in general but there are structured 'readings' for topical or thematic purposes. A very common reading plan has 365 smaller readings in total to help the reader complete the whole Bible in a year. Some religious organizations create reading plans for didactic reasons to help their membership understand their particular beliefs.
The Bible text is established by scholars engaged in studying the manuscripts that we have from the early church. The idea of chapters being "taken out of the Bible" assumes that we have a single manuscript that is the agreed-on text, and that is simply not true. (There is agreement for about 95% or so of the text, and no doctrinal issues depend on disputed readings). Almost any Bible will have alternate readings for some of the verses listed in the notes at the bottom of the page. Now if you look at John 8 in a modern Bible, you may see a heading note for it or you may see it in parenthesis. This is because the current opinion of most scholars is John 8 is not supported by the best and earliest manuscripts. On the other hand, the story there is very consistent with John's writing and Jesus's life and teachings, so it is included in the Bible but annotated. But the chapter has not been "taken out" of the Bible.
