Wedding Readings About Love – “I Love You Because” by Jim Reeves

Welcome back to our Sunday segment, Wedding Readings Ideas. Here we source and share some of our favourite texts perfect for weddings. This week we are focusing on wedding readings about love. We try and include a variety of ideas so that there is a reading suggestion for every kind of speech at every kind of wedding!

However, if you are looking for a reading suggestion for a specific event, please feel free to leave us a comment. We would love to help you source one.

The Reading

This week’s reading is I Love You Because by Jim Reeves.

I love you because you understand, dear
Every single thing I try to do
You’re always there to lend a helping hand, dear
I love you most of all because you’re you
No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you ‘cause you’re you
I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I’m walking by your side
I love you because the future’s brighter
The door to happiness you opened wide
No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you ‘cause you’re you

Why We love It

This is one of our favourite wedding readings about love because it encompasses the many joyful benefits of being in love. The speaker in the text clearly appreciates their partner, which is a lovely sentiment to echo at your own wedding. Themes of unconditional love, transcendent love, and transformational love permeate the entire poem.

If you like this reading, keep your eyes peeled next Sunday and every Sunday from here on out. We will share more wedding readings about love, children, religion, and more.
