Film and TV buffs will adore today's ceremony reading taken right from the scenes of one of the best TV shows of all time, Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag. This reading is called Love is Awful and although the title is a little misleading - and a cheeky choice for a wedding considering the topic of the day is romantic love - it's actually a very sweet piece that will get your guests thinking. Love isn't always roses and rainbows and this lovely piece depicts that perfectly. Love can be terrifying for so many people but where there is love, there is hope and isn't that such a gorgeous sentiment? We reckon you'll really enjoy this one and that it may even be a strong contender for your own wedding day - happy reading!

Love is Awful from Fleabag

“Love is awful. It’s awful. It’s painful. It’s frightening. It makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life. It makes you selfish. It makes you creepy, makes you obsessed with your hair, makes you cruel, makes you say and do things you never thought you would do. It’s all any of us want, and it’s hell when we get there. So no wonder it’s something we don’t want to do on our own. I was taught if we’re born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. People talk about that a lot, feeling right, when it feels right it’s easy. But I’m not sure that’s true. It takes strength to know what’s right. And love isn’t something that weak people do. Being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope. I think what they mean is, when you find somebody that you love, it feels like hope.”
