A true classic today for our wedding ceremony reading choice: it's a very old song originally made famous by country star Jim Reeves in the 1950s. You may not immediately recognise  I Love You Because (but listen here on youtube) and it may ring a bell. The lyrics to I Love You Because are very sweet and incredibly apt for a wedding. You may not have thought of a 1950s country song for your wedding, but that's the beauty of our collection of ceremony reading options, it's a treasure trove of unusual choices!

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 open 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
