Help finding a specific (or suggestions for a nice one) poem for a wedding speech (self.asklemmy)

Hi all, my brother is getting married soon, and I will be giving a speech at the reception.

Last year I was a plus one to a wedding, and someone read this beautiful poem about love in the modern age. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find it, and I haven’t been able to get an answer through the person I knew at the wedding.

The poem basically describes mundane situations in modern life. The main one I kind of remember revolved about being in an airport and possibly missing a flight.

Alternatively I am also open to suggestions of poems about how love is in the day to day mundane, and not only in big gestures.

Thanks in advance!

Honestly, this is one of those times I use chatgpt, this is what it's great at. The prompt being pretty much exactly what you asked for. Ask for something like "ten options you think it could be".

As an aside I like the idea of a poem. I've seen so many speeches. The best ones are the ones that a short and sweet and get the point across meaninfully. Whenever I see a maid of honor walking up with pages in her hand I know it's going to be awkward and weird.
