Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them...In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night...You - only you - will have stars that can laugh.

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Wise Words From Bob Marley.

This is one of the most popular readings I come across as a celebrant, so many of my couples choose this. And I think is because it is just simply true. For many couples, this piece of writing expresses for them that they are not perfect individually, nor are they expecting a perfect life ahead, because a perfect life does not exist for anyone. However, they are perfect for one another. Each couple will make mistakes, they will fail, they will falter, but they will always have one another to hold when times are tough, to laugh with and at, and to provide a safe haven for growth and self expression, and this is what makes them perfect. Enjoy!
