If you're looking for romantic ceremony readings, love letters from great artists are a great place to start, and, today, we're sharing one by Ludwig van Beethoven. Boldly passionate, it was written in 1812 to a woman whose identity remains unknown (Beethoven never married), but it feels truly timeless. It was also famously quoted by Carrie and Big in Sex and the City, even forming part of their wedding vows, so it's an obvious choice for fans of that show, too!

Ceremony Reading: Love Letter by Ludwig van Beethoven

My thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved I can only live wholly with you or not at all-

Be calm my life, my all. Only by calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together. Oh continue to love me, never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

Ever Thine,
Ever Mine,
Ever Ours.
