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.
Her necke like to a stately towre,
Where Love himselfe imprisoned lies.
Woes cluster. Rare are solitary woes;
They love a train, they tread each other’s heel.
I wish luck to you and your nation that loves you as the election results we can see testify.
The word liberty in the mouth of Mr. Webster sounds like the word love in the mouth of a courtesan.
License they mean when they cry, Liberty!
For who loves that must first be wise and good.
