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.

And wholly blessed in thee alone.
O wretched is the dame, to whom the sound,
"Your lord will soon return," no pleasure brings.
"When a man calls his wife, she must come, although she be at an oven."
May I get melted on your embrace, and meld into your wholeness.
Hatred has never stopped hatred. Only love stops hate. This is the eternal law.
We cannot fight for love, as men may do;
We should be woo’d, and were not made to woo.

Is bitterer still.
But is it what we love, or how we love,
That makes true good?
I loved him too as woman loves —
Reckless of sorrow, sin, or scorn.
Love's too precious to be lost,
A little grain shall not be spilt.
Let those love now who never lov'd before,
Let those who always loved now love the more.
Love, work and knowledge are the well-springs of our life. They should also govern it.
When your heart is a party, solitude becomes crowded with memories.
