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.
Never, dear father, love can be,
Like the dear love I had for thee!
True love is timid, as it knew its worth,
And that such happiness is scarce for earth.
I am sure, zeal or love for truth can never permit falsehood to be used in the defence of it.
I hold any writer sufficiently justified who is himself in love with his theme.
Love and art do not embrace what is beautiful but what is made beautiful by this embrace.
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
Love calls to war;
Sighs his alarms,
Lips his swords are,
The field his arms.
