If you’re after some short wedding readings to splice into your ceremony and break it up a bit, but don’t want anything too long or lengthy, then here are some ideas for you:<\/p>\n
Because of you<\/p>\n
I can feel myself<\/p>\n
slowly by surely<\/p>\n
becoming the me\u00a0I have always dreamed of being.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I cannot promise never to be angry;<\/p>\n
I cannot promise to always be kind.<\/p>\n
You know what you are taking on, my darling<\/p>\n
It’s only at the start love is blind.<\/p>\n
And yet I’m still the one you want to be with<\/p>\n
And you’re the one for me – of that I’m sure.<\/p>\n
You are my closest friend, my favourite person,<\/p>\n
The lover and the home I’ve waited for.<\/p>\n
I cannot promise that\u00a0 I will deserve you<\/p>\n
From this day on, I hope I pass that test. I love you and I want to make you happy.<\/p>\n
I promise I will do my\u00a0very best.<\/p>\n\n
<\/p>\n
When your hair has gone, mine is grey,<\/p>\n
And our clothes are out of style –<\/p>\n
We’ll start our moans with, “in my day”,<\/p>\n
Short walks might take a while.<\/p>\n
However long the journey;<\/p>\n
No matter what our view.<\/p>\n
I will cherish every step,<\/p>\n
As long as I’m with you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I love you,<\/p>\n
Not only for what you are,<\/p>\n
But for what I am when I am with you.<\/p>\n
I love you,
\nNot only for what you have made yourself,
\nBut for what you are making of me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When words run dry,
\nHe does not try,<\/p>\n
Nor do I.<\/p>\n
He just is,
\nI just am
\nAnd we just are.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The right Love will bring you back to the wound to teach you something different than what you learned the first day that wrong Love sliced you open.<\/p>\n
The right Love is how you learn<\/p>\n
That leaving isn’t leaving<\/p>\n
Anymore.<\/p>\n\n
<\/p>\n
You were you,<\/p>\n
And I was I;<\/p>\n
We were two,<\/p>\n
Before our time.<\/p>\n\n
I was yours,<\/p>\n
Before I knew;<\/p>\n
And you have always<\/p>\n
Been mine too.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens.<\/p>\n
A good marriage must be created.<\/p>\n
In marriage, the little things are the big things.<\/p>\n
It is never being too old to hold hands.<\/p>\n
It is remembering to say “I love you” at least once a day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
