Wedding Poetry Reading
Wedding Poetry Reading
Some couples are opting for poetry readings, instead of a reading(s) from the scriptures. This could be for a variety of reasons, the most obvious being that they have no particular affiliation to a church, or are not practicing churchgoers.
Here is a love poem that my husband and I had read during our wedding ceremony.
We chose our bridesmaid’s partner (now husband) to read the poem. As we had a small intimate wedding, it was important to us for everyone to have a role to play and participate in some way.
Love Poem
Perhaps Love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm,
It exists to give you comfort
It’s there to keep your warm,
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of Love will bring you home.
Perhaps Love is like a window
Perhaps an open door,
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more,
And even if you lose yourself
And don’t know what to do
The memory of Love will see you through
Perhaps Love is like the ocean
Full of conflict full of change,
Like firelight when it’s cold outside
Like thunder when it rains
If I should like forever,
And all my dreams come true
My memories of Love will be of you.
