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.
When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
Peace and love are ever in us, being and working; but we be not alway in peace and in love.
There is a tide in the affairs of women,
Which, taken at the flood, leads—God knows where.
Expectation postponed makes the heart sick, but a desire realized is a tree of life.
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.
The mightiest love was granted him
Love that does not expect to be loved.
Our love is principle, and has its root
In reason, is judicious, manly, free.
If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness
Maybe not, oh, but we can only try.
You may find many a brighter one
Than your own rose, but there are none
So true to thee, Love.
