You know that warm and fuzzy feeling you get when something unexpectedly wonderful happens in the everyday. Well poet and author Raquel Franco has captured this feeling beautifully in her poem You Are Amazing As, and how that feeling compares to love. We think it makes for a wonderful modern wedding ceremony reading and if you love this you can follow her on Instagram or read more of her work in her poetry book I’ll Cry if I Want to.

But for your big day, we’ve created a useful and pretty print and go download of this poem below.

You Are Amazing As by Raquel Franco

discovering a dress that slow dances

with your body has pockets, a place

to rest nervous hands.

You are as amazing as bed sheets fresh

from the dryer, warm like the cradle

of a mother’s arms. You are extra

french fries at the bottom

of a deliciously greasy bag,

money found in between the lazy

couch cushions, the butter yellow sun

showing up just as the sky

was about to weep, an extra day

of summer in the middle of a sleepy October.

You are a double rainbow smiling

across the wet lawn. You are the parmesan

offered on blistered tomato pasta

and I am never saying when.
