Wedding Quotes
Wikiquote has no wedding page of its own to draw on, so this one is a blend of the marriage, love and romance pages. Only one quote in the data is filed under weddings directly: Ambrose Bierce’s entry in The Devil’s Dictionary (1911), a definition of the ceremony as a joke about who ends up as nothing. It is funny and it is not for a toast.
For a reading or a speech, the love and romance material is the better bet. Shakespeare and Byron are both here. Look at the source line under each quote before you print it on anything.
You mustn't force sex to do the work of love or love to do the work of sex.
Mother, here is Thy knowledge and here is Thy ignorance. Take them both, and give me only pure love.
If there is no love more in yonder heart, it is but a corpse unburied.
It is a miserable thing to love where one hates; and yet it is not inconsistent.
The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love colour the most.
