Let's just say, this week's ceremony reading is a novel one. But if you and your other half have put your lives on hold (cancelled summer/stopped wedding planning/forgot to call your granny) for the last few weeks while Love Island was on, then this is a wedding reading that will resonate! It's sweet, it's funny, and it's pretty silly, but if Greg's Declaration of Love is good enough to win Greg and Amber the 50k prize, then it's good enough for us. Your guests certainly won't forget it either. (P.S. We've already heard it compared to Yeats and Heaney, so there's a good chance Greg's a great Irish poet of our time!)
Greg's Love Island Declaration of Love
'I’m going to keep this short and sweet, just like when we first came to meet.
'Up in the Hideaway sheltered from the trouble, we instantly connected and formed our own little bubble…
'We have laughs, we have jokes, and you must think 'Who the hell is this Paddy?' But that's okay because deep down I know you're a Newcastle radgey.
'I've never come across a person so unique, from your stand-out hair to the way you speak.
'The perfect balance of honesty and sass... and of course we can't forget about your gorgeous ass.
'You made my Love Island journey one to remember, and it's okay if we aren't the first couple to cross the line, because I'm really into you Amber Rose Gill, and I can't wait for you to teach me how to control the whine.'
