What though youth gave love and roses,
Age still leaves us friends and wine.
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.
A wife who preaches in her gown,
And lectures in her night-dress.
No matter how love-sick a woman is, she shouldn't take the first pill that comes along.
She whom I love is hard to catch and conquer,
Hard, but O the glory of the winning were she won!
Love's of itself too sweet; the best of all
Is, when love's honey has a dash of gall.
