Love is often portrayed by poets as an emotion that defies control, overpowering logic and common sense. That’s exactly how it felt for me.

Despite our contrasting traits, we couldn’t help but fall in love, birthing something truly special and extraordinary. Such profound love has only come my way once, making every moment spent with you unforgettable in my mind.

If you’re a sci-fi enthusiast contemplating the idea of incorporating romance into your wedding ceremony, this quote would be perfect for your sci-fi themed readings.

said to Captain Janeway. “Love is such a mysterious thing that defies analysis. No one truly understands why it occurs or fails to happen.

If we were able to categorize and foresee love, it would likely lose its magical influence.”

Love is like a temporary madness, bursting forth like volcanoes before calming down. Once the intense feelings settle, a decision must be made. You must determine if your roots are so deeply intertwined that it seems impossible to ever separate. Because that is what love truly is. Love is not just about feeling breathless, excited, or making grand promises of eternal passion. That is simply being infatuated, something anyone can do. Love itself is what remains after the initial infatuation fades, and it is both a skill and a fortunate coincidence. Those who truly love each other have roots that grow towards each other beneath the surface. When the beautiful flowers have all fallen from their branches, they realize they are one tree, not two.

The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman

While not a film, these wedding reading ideas come from a book and are still considered brilliant.

I will love you endlessly, no matter what happens. Even after my death, as I navigate the afterlife, I will search for you tirelessly. Every moment, without fail. When we are reunited, we will hold onto each other so fiercely that nothing can come between us. Our connection will transcend time and space, manifesting in the beauty of nature all around us. When our atoms are used to create new life, they will have to take two instead of one – one of you and one of me.

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

Giving without love is possible, but loving without giving is not. People who regularly show small acts of kindness are the ones who perform the most significant acts of love.

We forgive because we care. Love means understanding that even in solitude, you will always have companionship.

Feeling loved is a wonderful part of life. Knowing that someone loves us just as we are, flaws and all, brings immense happiness.

Shall we Dance?

We require someone to witness our journey through life. With billions of people present on Earth, it can be easy to feel insignificant. However, within a marriage, there is a commitment to be present for every aspect of each other’s lives – the highs, the lows, the challenges, and the ordinary moments. This promise signifies that no part of one’s life will go unnoticed or unwitnessed, as the partner will be there to witness and cherish it all.

Love is all about passion and obsession. It’s finding someone you can’t imagine living without. My advice is to dive in headfirst, find someone who you can love immensely and who will love you back just as strongly. How do you find this person? Stop overthinking and follow your heart. Living without love is simply not worth it. Falling deeply in love is essential for a fulfilling life. You have to give it a shot. Keep yourself open to possibilities – you never know when love might unexpectedly come your way.

Shakespeare in love

Poetry, adventure, and love will have a place in my life. Love, most importantly. Not the calculated displays of affection, not the fun and flowery gestures meant to entertain for a night. But a love that disrupts everything. Uncontrollable, untameable, like a rebellion in the heart, with no way to stop it, no matter the outcome.
