Wedding Reading from Doctor Zhivago

We have another beautiful wedding reading to add to our growing collection!

We’ve put together this series to offer you a broad collection of wonderful wedding readings, perfect for a civil ceremony, church ceremony or blessing. Today’s reading comes from a classic - Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak.

We think it strikes the perfect balance of a romantic yet simple wedding reading. Un-fussy and beautiful to share with your guests…

“Oh, what a love it was, utterly free, unique, like nothing else on earth! Their thoughts were like other people’s songs.

They loved each other, not driven by necessity, by the ‘blaze of passion’ often falsely ascribed to love. They loved each other because everything around them willed it, the trees and the clouds and the sky over their heads and the earth under their feet. Perhaps their surrounding world, the strangers they met in the street, the wide expanses they saw on their walks, the rooms in which they lived or met, took more delight in their love than they themselves did.”
