Time for a new category!
A wedding ceremony is a very special and personal occasion, and it can be difficult to find appropriate readings or poems which a couple feels truly reflects their views and feelings.
I'm a sucker for soppy poetry, so have been researching some of the most popular readings for wedding ceremonies, both religious and non-religious and will start posting them here.
The following passage is taken from "The Rainbow", by D.H. Lawrence
"Was his life nothing? Had he nothing to show, no work? He did not count his work, anybody could have done it. What had he known, but the long marital embrace with his wife! Curious, that this was what his life amounted to! At any rate, it was something, it was eternal. He would say so to anybody, and be proud of it. He lay with his his wife in his arms and she was still his fulfilment, just the same as ever. And that was the be-all and the end-all. Yes, and he was proud of it."
