wedding readings

Recommended Posts

i know you cant read this to them

 

but i just wanted to share what i will read to ross on our wedding day :)

 

Pablo Neruda

 

Sonnet XVII (100 Love Sonnets, 1960)

 

I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz

or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:

I love you as certain dark things are loved,

secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

 

I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries

hidden within itself the light of those flowers,

and thanks to your love, darkly in my body

lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.

 

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,

I love you simply, without problems or pride:

I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving

 

but this, in which there is no I or you,

so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,

so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.

IVE GOT IT

 

IVE GOT IT

 

His hello was the end of her endings,

Her laugh was their first step down the aisle.

His hand would be hers to hold forever,

His forever was as simple as her smile.

 

An ocean couldn’t prevent it.

A New York minute wouldn’t let it pass.

Does the universe decide for us,

Which love will fade and which will last.

 

He said she was what was missing.

She said she instantly new.

She was a question to be answered.

And his answer was “I do.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM SEX AND THE CITY

 

THIS IS ALSO SOMETHING WE WILL HAVE AT OUR WEDDING :)

I like this ( I can't find my copy just now so can't tell you who wrote it. I have a feeling it's anonymous):

 

My true love hath my heart and I have his,

by just exchange each to the other given.

I hold his heart and mine he cannot miss,

there never was a better bargain driven.

His heart in me keeps him and me as one;

my heart in him his thoughts and senses drives.

He loves my heart for once it was his own;

I cherish his because in me it bides.

My true love hath my heart and I have his.
