Even in the most perfect love one person loves less profoundly than the other.
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.
Banish that fear; my flame can never waste,
For love sincere refines upon the taste.
It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know that it has begun.
Where there's marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.
Thy wife is a constellation of virtues; she's the moon, and thou art the man in the moon.
Of earthly goods, the best is a good wife;
A bad, the bitterest curse of human life.
Maybe the heart is part of the mist.
And that's all that there is or could ever exist.
The gods throw the dice, and they don't ask whether we want to be in the game or not.
