The Reading: Grow Old With You, The Wedding Singer

Movie fans and romantic souls alike will enjoy the pure sweetness of this reading from The Wedding Singer. Choosing a wedding reading from a film about weddings may seem a little on the nose, but if the shoe fits! We think that as far as romantic wedding readings go, this one strikes a good balance between being sweet and funny.

I wanna make you smile whenever you’re sad

 

All I wanna do is grow old with you

I’ll get your medicine when your tummy aches

Build you a fire if the furnace breaks

Oh, it could be so nice, growing old with you

I’ll miss you

Kiss you

Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you

Feed you

Even let you hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink

Put you to bed when you’ve had too much to drink

Oh, I could be the man who grows old with you

I wanna grow old with you

Why We Love It

This is one of our favourite romantic wedding readings because it gets to the crux of what lies at the heart of being in love. The speaker declares their affections with a lovely purity. The love represented here is unselfish and giving. The way that the voice of the poem takes every day activities, difficult moments in life, and unpleasant feelings, and makes them into sources of love and comfort makes this one of the most romantic wedding readings we can think of.

If you like this reading, keep your eyes peeled next week and every week from here on out. We will share more romantic wedding readings as well as texts about joy, children, religion, and more.
