Wedding Reading from One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII

We’re delighted to be returning to our series of excellent wedding readings today. This beautiful addition is perfectly diverse, it would be a wonderful wedding reading for a modern couple or a modern ceremony, but would be equally moving as a reading for a traditional ceremony. It’s romance transcends an era, and makes it a truly gorgeous choice for a wedding reading.

So here is ‘I love you without knowing how…’ taken from One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII by Pablo Neruda.

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you directly, without problems or pride: I love you like this because I don't know any other way to love, except in this form in which I am not nor are you, so close that your hand upon my chest is mine, so close that your eyes close with my dreams."

— Pablo Neruda, One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII
