21 Beautiful And Unique Wedding Readings From Books

Because not everyone wants to use the verse from Corinthians.


The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James


The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James


“It has made me better loving you… it has made me wiser, and easier, and – I won't pretend to deny – brighter and nicer and even stronger. I used to want a great many things before, and to be angry that I didn't have them. Theoretically I was satisfied, as I once told you. I flattered myself I had limited my wants. But I was subject to irritation; I used to have morbid, sterile, hateful fits of hunger, of desire. Now I really am satisfied, because I can't think of anything better.”

The Princess Bride by William Goldman


The Princess Bride by William Goldman


“Do I love you? My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches… I have stayed these years in my hovel because of you. I have taught myself languages because of you. I have made my body strong because I thought you might be pleased by a strong body. I have lived my life with only the prayer that some sudden dawn you might glance in my direction. I have not known a moment in years when the sight of you did not send my heart careening against my rib cage. I have not known a night when your visage did not accompany me to sleep. There has not been a morning when you did not flutter behind my waking eyelids…


I love you. Okay? Want it louder? I love you. Spell it out, should I? I ell-oh-vee-ee why-oh-you. Want it backward? You love I…


I've been saying it so long to you, you just wouldn't listen. Every time you said, 'Farm Boy, do this', you thought I was answering, 'As you wish', but that's only because you were hearing wrong. 'I love you' was what it was, but you never heard.”

The Bridge Across Forever by Richard Bach


The Bridge Across Forever by Richard Bach


“A soul mate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise. Our soul mate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soul mate is the one who makes life come to life.”

Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey


Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey


“What I'm feeling, I think, is joy. And it's been some time since I've felt that blinkered rush of happiness. This might be one of those rare events that lasts, one that'll be remembered and recalled as months and years wind and ravel. One of those sweet, significant moments that leaves a footprint in your mind. A photograph couldn't ever tell its story. It's like something you have to live to understand. One of those freak collisions of fizzing meteors and looming celestial bodies and floating debris and one single beautiful red ball that bursts into your life and through your body like an enormous firework. Where things shift into focus for a moment, and everything makes sense. And it becomes one of those things inside you, a pearl among sludge, one of those big exaggerated memories you can invoke at any moment to peel away a little layer of how you felt, like a lick of ice cream. The flavour of grace.”

16 Edwardian Colour Photos That Will Make You Feel Like A Time Traveller

It’s hard to believe, but colour images of the early 1900s do exist…and it’s spooky how modern looking and vivid they are. Many thanks to Musée Albert-Kahn and the National Media Museum for granting permission to use some of their images.


Tiger, London Zoo, c. 1907


Tiger, London Zoo, c. 1907


If it wasn't for the hats and bonnets in the background, you could be forgiven for thinking this picture was taken yesterday. This clarity is a typical feature of autochrome images: a colour photography system invented by the Lumière brothers in 1907 and praised for its realistic, sharp results.

Caroline Trevor, New York, 1919


Caroline Trevor, New York, 1919


Autochrome was an expensive process and only the very well-to-do could afford the equipment. This image was taken by wealthy New York lawyer John Bond Trevor Sr and shows his wife Caroline all dressed up and ready for a night on the town.

Cornish village, c. 1913


Cornish village, c. 1913


French millionaire and philanthropist Albert Kahn was among the first to see the possibilities of autochrome. He funded a project called The Archives of the Planet that aimed to document the whole world in colour. His photographers travelled to 50 countries between 1912 and 1931 and took over 72,000 autochromes.

When Albert Kahn's photographers reached the UK, they were able to (quite literally) take a snapshot of the nation just two years before the outbreak of the First World War changed things forever.

Indian Acid Attack Survivor Reads A Moving Poem About Her Experience After Being Felicitated By Michelle Obama

“You hold the acid that charred my dreams.”

Laxmi was 15 when her friend's 32-year-old brother threw acid on her face at a bus stop in Delhi after she refused to respond to his romantic advances. She was left permanently disfigured after the attack.



After seven surgeries and eight years of hiding indoors, Laxmi decided to become an activist speaking out against acid attacks, which are very common in India, leaving many young women vulnerable and scarred for life.
