Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, aways perseveres. Love never fails ... And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Traditional Readings for Weddings
Create a beautiful, meaningful ceremony with a traditional reading that matches your style and tone.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no; it is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempets, and is never shaken; It is te star to ever wandering bark Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rose lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
- William Shakespeare, Sonnet 116

Traditional Quotes from Literature
Beautiful and romantic, a traditional quote from a famous author or classic masterpiece will put a classic spin on your wedding stationery.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sonnet from the Portuguese
You were made perfectly to be loved and surely I have loved you, in the idea of you, my whole life long.

May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; The rain fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

In you, I've found the love of my life and my closest, truest friend.
Something tells me I'm going to love him forever

The old man smiled. "You will when you see her."
