How can you say you will be there in the good times and the bad?
I guarantee that we’ll have tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us will want to get out. But I also guarantee that if I don’t ask you to be mine, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you’re the only one for me.

Whether a scripture passage, poem stanza, or children’s book excerpt, the readings at your wedding should reflect your style as a couple as well as invite guests to learn more about the love you share with each other.
