Some of us don’t have a favourite poem, and that’s perfectly fine. Wedding planning forums and websites often talk about wedding readings, and a little digging will easily unearth favourite and trending wedding poems. I remember when English Wedding was born, right back in 2009, the choice of poems read at weddings suddenly went from Shakespeare to an extract from The Velveteen Rabbit – and it felt like a little revelation! Now we live in a world of celebrants and highly personalised ceremonies, and lots of couples have wedding readings that absolutely reflect who they are. Here’s how to find yours – without settling for the best love poems you can find from an internet shortlist!
A curious question: does life stop for weddings? Should it? In some senses, a wedding day is utterly different from any other. Having all of your favourite people in one space, seeing them celebrating together, meeting each other for the first time perhaps, even shedding a tear or two – is huge.
The rollercoaster of emotions you might feel, from nervousness to overwhelm to wondering if your heart could ever be this full of joy.
That’s weddings.
But there’s even more than that. Life doesn’t stop for weddings.

I’m so thrilled to be sharing this super colourful, joyful wedding with you today. As well as the gorgeous photos by my friend Jaye, Lake District wedding photographer at Jaye Peg Photography, I’m really happy to have a long list of amazing supplier reviews from Shireen and Phil – starting, of course, with absolutely brilliant Jaye! This wedding has been a dream to scroll through this morning, and I hope you’ll adore it as much as I do. One last thing – Shireen added a beaming happy emoji to every supplier review which my website wouldn’t let me include… but they’re there in spirit, adding to the happiness!
