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 could teach a monarch to be wise,
And gospel-light first dawn'd from Bullen's eyes.
Love the little trade which thou hast learned, and be content therewith.
He that loves thee, He that keeps
And guards thee, never slumbers, never sleeps.
The scar of fire, the dint of steel,
Are easier than Love's wounds to heal.
We are kept all as securely in Love in woe as in weal, by the Goodness of God.
