Now I'm not normally a fan of Keats, but I featured this poem in the writing I did for the event because of what it means to me. In my Dad's speech on his wedding day he read this to my Step-Mum.
My Dad isn't a soppy man, he doesn't show his emotions and he is pretty old fashioned sometimes. But at age 11, watching my Dad read this to the woman he loves, in a room full of people, it made me see for the first time what love is.
To me it is how I see love.
Fragile and beautiful.
And with the right person, forever.

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
