Better Together by Jack Johnson
Wedding readings don’t have to be traditional or religious to be meaningful. Really, they can be anything that speaks to the heart, capturing the essence of love and commitment in a way that feels personal. Song lyrics, like poetry, have a unique way of expressing emotions that sometimes words alone can't. Better Together by Jack Johnson is a perfect example. This song beautifully reflects a simple yet profound truth about love. That life, with all its ups and downs, is always better when shared. It speaks to those everyday moments like photographs, dreams, and even life’s uncertainties, reminding us that love is what makes everything worthwhile.

Better Together
by Jack Johnson
There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoe box of photographs
With sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together
As these lyrics remind us, love isn’t just about grand gestures or perfect fairytales. It’s about the small, real moments that make life meaningful. Whether spoken in vows, shared in a reading, or played as a first dance, words have the power to remind us all why love is worth celebrating because, as Jack Johnson says, life is always better when we’re together.
