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.
Reason shows us our duty; he who can make us love our duty is more powerful than reason itself.
I had loved so infrequently I felt a debt to those whom I had, for the reprieve from solitude.
I have lived such an unnatural life, devoid of love, sex, and pleasure.
Many love humanity only in order to forget God with a clear conscience.
I have seen women who thought they loved me look at me that way, and wolves which were hungry.
