Wedding Readings from Sex and the City

We always hoped Carrie would find her happy ever after and Big really was the one after all.

“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. He said she was what was missing. She said instantly she knew. She was a question to be answered. And his answer was ‘I do.’”

The Corpse Bride – Tim Burton

“With this hand, I will lift your sorrow.Your cup will never empty, For I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness.
With this ring, I ask you to be mine”

Wedding Readings from The Notebook

One of the most romantic and possible poignant movies, especially heartfelt when James Garner was desperately trying to remind Gena Rowlands of their time together, as she struggled through the haze of dementia.

“So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me… everyday.”

“Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can’t control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. That’s what it was like for me. I didn’t plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once, and that’s why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory.” —Noah

Lord Of The Rings wedding readings

The spine tingling moment that Arwen and Aragon exchange this moment where she is willing to sacrifice eternal life for her beloved and he thinks he is not worthy.

“I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.” —Arwen

Star Trek wedding readings

For all you super cool sci-fi geeks maybe restling with the notion of romance this is a brilliant quote to use in your sci-fi wedding readings.

“Commander, I don’t think you can analyze love. It’s the greatest mystery of all. No one knows why it happens or doesn’t. Love is a chance combination of elements. Any one thing might be enough to keep it from igniting — a mood, a glance, or a remark. And if we could define love, predict it, it would probably lose its power.” —Neelix

Moulin Rouge wedding readings

“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return.” —Christian

Grey’s Anatomy

“So this, I am sure. You are my partner. My lover. My very best friend. My heart. My heart beats for you. And on this day, the day of our wedding, I promise you this. I promise you to lay my heart in the palm of your hands; I promise you…me.” —Dr. Preston Burke

Wedding Readings from Definately, Maybe

‘I wanna marry you because you’re the first person I wanna look at when I wake up in the morning,
And the only one I wanna kiss goodnight.
Because the first time I saw those hands,
I couldn’t imagine not being able to hold them.’

Captain Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis de Berniere

Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your root was 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 fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.

The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman

Not a movie as yet but a book but non the less brilliant wedding reading ideas

I will love you forever; whatever happens. Till I die and after I die, and when I find my way out of the land of the dead, I’ll drift about forever, all my atoms, till I find you again… I’ll be looking for you, every moment, every single moment. And when we do find each other again, we’ll cling together so tight that nothing and no one’ll ever tear us apart. Every atom of me and every atom of you… We’ll live in birds and flowers and dragonflies and pine trees and in clouds and in those little specks of light you see floating in sunbeams… And when they use our atoms to make new lives, they won’t just be able to take one, they’ll have to take two, one of you and one of me.

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

“You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness.

We pardon to the extent that we love. Love is knowing that even when you are alone, you will never be lonely again.

And great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. Loved for ourselves. And even loved in spite of ourselves.”

Wedding Readings from The Time Travellers Wife

“I want to tell you, again, I love you. Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth, the net under the high-wire walker, the only real thing in this strange life of mine that I could ever trust. Tonight I feel that my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you.”

Wedding Readings from Spiderman

Wedding Readings from the ultimate Superhero, what could be more romantic.

“When you look in her eyes and she’s looking back in yours, everything feels… not quite normal. Because you feel stronger and weaker at the same time. You feel excited and at the same time, terrified. The truth is… you don’t know what you feel except you know what kind of man you want to be. It’s as if you’ve reached the unreachable and you weren’t ready for it.”

Shall we Dance?

We need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet. I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things. All of it, all of the time, every day. You’re saying ‘Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness’.”

Meet Joe Black

“I know it’s a cornball thing, but love is passion. Obsession. Someone you can’t live without. I say fall head over heels, find someone you can love like crazy and who’ll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Well, forget your head and listen to your heart… Because, the truth is, honey, there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love — well, you haven’t lived a life at all. But you have to try. Because if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived… Stay open. Who knows? Lightning could strike.”

Shakespeare in love

“I will have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love. Love above all. No… not the artful postures of love, not playful and poetical games of love for the amusement of an evening. but love that…overthrows life. Unbiddable, ungovernable, like a riot in the heart, and nothing to be done, come ruin or rapture.”
— Viola

Wedding readings from Game of Thrones Khaleesi and Khal Drogo’s Wedding

“As you are the Moon of his life, he shall be your Sun and Stars. Your love shall be as ever present as those two celestial bodies… even though they are sometimes hidden from one another’s sight. Your love will be the guiding force that charts the course of your tomorrows, holds your world together in difficult times, and will make life itself shine bolder and brighter than we human beings have a right to dream of.”

Twilight

No wedding readings list would be complete without an excerpt from this epic love story.

“It’s an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bare your soul to, and who will accept you for what you are. I’ve been waiting, what seems like a very long time, to get beyond what I am. And [now] I feel like I can finally begin… No measure of time with you will be long enough. But let’s start with forever.”

—Edward
