Hi all, my brother is getting married soon, and I will be giving a speech at the reception.
Last year I was a plus one to a wedding, and someone read this beautiful poem about love in the modern age. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find it, and I haven’t been able to get an answer through the person I knew at the wedding.
The poem basically describes mundane situations in modern life. The main one I kind of remember revolved about being in an airport and possibly missing a flight.
Alternatively I am also open to suggestions of poems about how love is in the day to day mundane, and not only in big gestures.
Thanks in advance!
I’ve been a best man twice and both times I quoted from “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran, specifically the “On Love” section. “On Marriage” and “On Children” also have appropriate words for a wedding.
Thank you for sharing! These are definitely good contenders.
