Need a love poem to be read in 2 wks at my wedding ceremony, please copy paste poem and not a link to site.?

Question

I have searched dozens of websites and have not found quite what I am looking for. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Answer 1

tell us about you and your guy in your own words and how you feel about eachother then i can write anything you need

Answer 2

So if you are picky, tell us what you want instead of the generic 'love poem'.

First Wedding?

Virgin Bride?

Description of Bride and Groom.

Description of cake

Religious wedding? Christian, Muslim, Jewish, other?

And any other relevant facts you want to include.

Email these to me, I'll try to come up with something.

Answer 3

Love is a temporary madness,

it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides.

And when it subsides you have to make a decision.

You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together

that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.

Because this is what love is.

Love is not breathlessness,

it is not excitement,

it is not the promulgation of eternal passion.

That is just being "in love" which any fool can do.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,

and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.

Those that truly love, have roots that grow towards each other underground,

and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from their branches,

they find that they are one tree and not two.

- From "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" by Louis de Bernières

Was going to have someone read it at my recent wedding but they couldn't make it so we left it, but I think it is beautiful without being too flowery...

And congratulations!
