Wedding Poems and Quotes – Words To Inspire
September 28th, 2009
A couple of weeks ago it was my first wedding anniversary, I was reminded of our lovely vows, and the poem that I said to my gorgeous husband. I thought it would be a great idea to do a monthly post of a reading, or poem, that you could use or that might inspire you.
If you read our blog regularly you know The Wedding Genie is obsessed with personal detail, so when we hear of a reading that is so well thought out we just have to share it with you. This poem was read at one of our weddings a few weeks ago by the Sister of the Bride. It was so heartfelt it bought a tear to my eye – it suited the couple perfectly.
– Captain Corelli’s Mandolin–
“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.”
If you want to share your readings and poetry why not let us know, we are always thrilled to hear from our readers, and we can post them on our blog.
If you have a wedding question that you just can’t seem to get an answer to, call or contact us,we are always happy to help.
Until next time, take care and happy planning.
