The Hot Priest's Speech From “Fleabag”
On our theme of modern wedding readings, we’re back this week with a more in-depth look at The Hot Priest's Speech From “Fleabag”. Though unconventional, the speech actually makes for a beautiful wedding reading. In this reading, the Hot Priest is honest and questions the negative things that come hand in hand with love, and, why, despite all those negative emotions, people still want love with everything in them. So, the conclusion is that to love and be loved you have to be one hell of a strong person. To love so effortlessly and easily is no easy feat. We love how refreshingly honest this is and we’re obviously huge fans of the TV show too! If you like this reading too, you can download a free PDF version!
The Hot Priest's Speech From 'Fleabag'
By Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Love is awful. It’s awful. It’s painful. It’s frightening. It makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life. It makes you selfish. It makes you creepy, makes you obsessed with your hair, makes you cruel, makes you say and do things you never thought you would do.
It’s all any of us want, and it’s hell when we get there. So no wonder it’s something we don’t want to do on our own. I was taught if we’re born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. People talk about that a lot, feeling right, when it feels right, it’s easy. But I’m not sure that’s true. It takes strength to know what’s right. And love isn’t something that weak people do. Being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope. I think what they mean is, when you find somebody that you love, it feels like hope.
