Three Readings I Would Choose For My Wedding:
1) "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return" - The Moulin Rouge
I would choose this quote because it's from a movie that means a lot to me. This movie has showed me deep love and that love is worth more than people allow to be. I would use this quote especially since at my wedding I will truly understand the feeling to truly love and be loved in return. People use love as an excuse to be physical but this quote and movie showed me that love is enough.
2) "You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together will be the best day of my life. I will always be yours" - The Notebook
I would use this quote because it embodies the idea that even though there will be rough days and possible fights down the road they will still be loved. Just because someone is mad at you, doesn't mean that they have stopped loving you. When you are in love with someone the love should consume your feelings, they are the image of your hopes and dreams. The future is uncertain but the love isn't.
3) "You are my dearest friend, deepest love, and the best of me" - Nicholas Sparks
The love of your life should be the friend you can't be happy without and the love you can't breathe without and the piece of you that you can't live without. Marriage is a unity between two people who truly love each other and want to spend every day with not because they are attracted to each other but because they can laugh together but also be serious with, and they can love but they can fight too without one giving up, and they will be able to bring out the best in each other but still be with them when they're at their worst. It should be an absolute and utter feeling of love.
