If you've watched the BBC comedy show Detectorists then you will have fallen for its very sweet opening song written and performed by actor and singer, Johnny Flynn. The lyrics are about searching for something special, across earth and sea, and longing for the day that you find the treasure that's waiting for you. Although these are song lyrics, it works beautifully as a wedding ceremony reading, especially for nature-loving couples. We've even created a useful and pretty print and go download of this poem below.

Wedding Ceremony Reading: Detectorists (I'm Waiting for You) by Johnny Flynn

Will you search through the loamy earth for me?
Climb through the briar and bramble
I'll be your treasure

I felt the touch of the kings and the breath of the wind
I knew the call of all the song birds
They sang all the wrong words
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you

Will you swim through the briny sea for me?
Roll along the ocean's floor?
I'll be your treasure

I'm with the ghosts of the men who can never sing again
There's a place, follow me
Where a love lost at sea
Is waiting for you
Is waiting for you
