You are the Bubbles by English author and illustrator Rachel Bright is a merry and informal poem that's addressed to a couple who are absolutely made for each other. It features the most gorgeous Champagne metaphor - and you know how much we are fans of a Champagne Tower at One Fab Day HQ! - which is extremely well suited to any wedding day!

Capturing themes of love, comfort and shared resilience through life's sweet everyday moments, there's also mention of cold weather and outdoor parties, making it an ideal wedding ceremony reading for cosy season, as we head into the darker nights and shorter days ahead.

The words are below and we've created a printable of the poem that you can download here.

We hope you love this one as much as we do!

Ceremony Reading: You are the Bubbles by Rachel Bright

Together, you are the bubbles in one another’s champagne
The morning sun through a window
The breaking of a smile.

Together, you are the one doughnut in the bag with more jam than all the others.
That photo where everybody looks great.
The know-all-the-words, sing-out-of-tune chorus of your favourite song.

Together, you are the beginnings of a big idea.
The twinkly bits that hang in the sky after the firework goes bang.
The cold, thin air at the top of a mountain.
The only two people in a crowded room.

Together, you are that unforgettable day of the holiday.
An accidental adventure.
Chocolate chip.
The last two pages of your favourite book.
A BBQ with friends.
The spray of the sea.
The nose of the cheese.
A kiss.
A hug.
A hold-my-hand.
A decision which, looking back, will seem to be the most excellent one you’ve ever made.

Together you are bubbles.
The unburstable bubbles of the very best things in life.
The only things any of us ever really need.
