Romance of Poetry, Prose, or Readings
Declaration Of Love In Words – The Key To Your Heart.
Some moments ask for poetry — a voice that rises, words that glow, and a reading that settles into the heart like a blessing.
Many couples ask me to help choose the perfect reading for their ceremony, so here are a few of my favourite romantic pieces that bring warmth, connection, and emotion to the day. I am happy to be inspired by the story of your Love and write a verse for you if you wish!
Let me know, in the meantime, how do these resonate with you both? Perfect for those small intimate weddings, where time is limited, or stretch several poetic lines out throughout the ceremony at each stage – how does that sound? Have you a favourite you have always wanted to feature in the ceremonial celebration of your love and blessing of marriage?
A Modern Romantic Reading
“When two souls recognise each other,
it is not by accident,
but by an ancient remembering…”
This gentle, universal reading speaks to destiny, companionship, and the exquisite simplicity of finding home in another.
A Short Poem for Vows or Exchange of Rings
“Your hand in mine —
a quiet promise,
a soft beginning,
a love that chooses and chooses again.”
Perfect for couples who love intimate simplicity.
A Reading for the Storytellers
“You are my favourite chapter,
my quiet morning,
my unexpected miracle.”
Romantic, soft, and ideal for ceremonies with a warm emotional tone.
Choosing the right reading gives your wedding a breath of poetry — a moment where the world seems to stand still. I’m always happy to help you find the words that match your hearts.
“Blessings From Around the World: Scottish, Irish & Chinese Wedding Words”
Romantic with a touch of ancestry and cultural beauty
Love is universal, but every culture blesses a marriage in its own beautiful way. I adore when couples honour their roots — or simply choose a blessing that speaks to them.
Here are three gentle, romantic blessings inspired by Scottish, Irish, and Chinese tradition.
Old Scottish Blessing (Romantic-Adapted)
“May the heather follow your footsteps,
and the quiet strength of the mountains steady your hearts…”
Soft, atmospheric, and perfect for couples who love Scotland’s landscapes or folklore.
Irish Love Blessing
“May your days be many and your troubles be few,
and may your love grow stronger
as the years grow long.”
Warm, lyrical, timeless.
Chinese Wedding Blessing
“May your hearts flow together like two rivers joined,
carrying peace, harmony, and joy into every season of your life.”
Elegant, balanced, deeply romantic.
These blessings carry the ancient beauty of different cultures, yet each speaks the same truth: love is a journey, and a blessing is a gentle light to walk by.
