I Promise You All My Love wedding reading

Here’s the next in my series of awesome wedding readings you might like to include in your wedding ceremony!

Readings are absolutely not a compulsory part of a marriage ceremony. They’re a way of expressing something in a way that’s different from anything you or I can come up with, and they’re also a way of including additional people in the ceremony if you want to.

We’re not necessarily talking about Bible readings here, although you can include Bible passages if you want. You might like to consider poems, passages from films or books (especially those written for children), or song lyrics. To give an even more personal touch, some couples ask their loved ones to write something specifically for their ceremony. There are plenty of options!

I Promise You All My Love, by Michelle Thomas

I promise to give you all my love
for now and forever,
to keep your love close to my heart
so that we will never grow apart.

I promise to confide in you
if I feel insecure.

I promise not to doubt your judgements
or actions, without first listening
to the feelings in your heart …

I promise to support you in everything
you try to accomplish,
because your goals
have become our goals
to achieve together, side by side.

I promise to look back on
the good and bad times
with a smile,
to learn by each mistake
and know that, with every step of success,
we will make it if we just try.

I promise to offer you all the happiness
I am capable of giving you,
to see that the future is ours
to make the best of.

I promise to set time aside
to be best friends,
to dream dreams and make them reality,
and just to say “I love you”.

I promise never to take you for granted
because you are the love of my life.
