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.

As great in love as in religion.

centurions, and one million

Love is a golden bubble, full of dreams,
That waking breaks, and fills us with extremes.
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know…
Against the outcrop boulders of a raised beach
We built our house when I and my love were young.
Those who never back down love themselves more than they love the truth.
"Look out pop-culture! Bono has had enough of 'romantic love'."
