Brits ultimately don&#8217;t want something that feels too cringe or over the top to say. We want something that can transfer sentiment in a meaningful, thoughtful and beautifully written way that speaks of real and true love, not just the love you find in novels. Here are some lovely readings and quotes from books that will really hit a chord with you and your wedding guests, without it feeling a little too intense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Bridge Across Forever by Richard Bach<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly be who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we\u2019re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we\u2019re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we\u2019re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we\u2019ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>He&#8217;s Not Perfect by Bob Marley\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;He\u2019s not perfect. You aren\u2019t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn\u2019t going to quote poetry, he\u2019s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don\u2019t hurt him, don\u2019t change him, and don\u2019t expect for more than he can give. Don\u2019t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he\u2019s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don\u2019t exist, but there\u2019s always one guy that is perfect for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater \u2026 The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that\u2019s the key. It\u2019s like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planning a Wedding is pretty stressful and then there are poignant speeches and poems to consider.
