Beautiful Reading for a Wedding
In the final book of Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy, Lyra realises she is in love with Will.
This next beautiful passage makes an excellent short reading at a wedding.
It is a reminder that in real life, which sadly at some point will end, true love doesn’t have a happy ending because with true love there is no ending.
“I will love you forever; whatever happens. Till I die and after I die, and when I find my way out of the land of the dead, I’ll drift about forever, all my atoms, till I find you again... I’ll be looking for you, every moment, every single moment. And when we do find each other again, we’ll cling together so tight that nothing and no one’ll ever tear us apart. Every atom of me and every atom of you... We’ll live in the birds and the flowers and dragonflies and pine trees and in clouds and in those little specks of light you see floating in sunbeams... And when they use our atoms to make new lives, they won’t be able to take one, they’ll have to take two, one of you and one of me, we’ll be joined so tight”.
As your Celebrant & as a lover of literature, I not only write beautiful & personal words for your love story & bespoke wedding ceremony but I will also support you with finding beautiful readings for friends & family to deliver if you want me to.
