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.
We were playing for the glory of the USSR and for the love of football, not for the money.
For truth has such a face and such a mien
As to be loved needs only to be seen.
Some love to roam o’er the dark sea’s foam,
Where the shrill winds whistle free.
Upon a darkened night the flame of love was burning in my breast.
Love guards the roses of thy lips
And flies about them like a bee.
I love it, I love it; and who shall dare
To chide me for loving that old arm-chair?
I never was on the dull, tame shore,
But I loved the great sea more and more.
"When any of you wishes to demand a woman in marriage, if he can arrange it, let him see her first."
