Whether you want to add a touch of seasonal sparkle to a winter wedding with a Christmas wedding ceremony reading, or you’re getting married in another season, and just want to include a quote that gives you a case of the warm and fuzzies, we hope you enjoy the reading we’re suggesting today. Taken from Richard Curtis’ beloved Christmas rom com Love Actually, the quote we’ve chosen is not from the infamous cue card scene (although if you want to include that one in your ceremony, we won’t judge!), but from the very beginning of the film, when Hugh Grant’s character muses about love, his voice echoing over real footage taken at the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. It’s perhaps not the coolest choice for a ceremony reading, but we’ll be darned if it doesn’t bring a tear to your guests’ eyes!
Ceremony Reading: Heathrow Airport Quote from Love Actually
Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion is starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around.
