The enemy of a love is never outside, it's not a man or woman, it's what we lack in ourselves.
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.
Un conte sans amour est comme du boudin sans moutarde; c’est chose insipide.
You know, actually we have no love — that is a terrible thing to realize.
And when once the young heart of a maiden is stolen,
The maiden herself will steal after it soon.
Freely we serve,
Because we freely love, as in our will
To love or not; in this we stand or fall.
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have.
Could we forbear dispute, and practise love,
We should agree as angels do above.
Love's like the flies, and, drawing-room or garret, goes all over a house.
Love leads to present rapture,—then to pain;
But all through Love in time is healed again.
Like Dian's kiss, unask'd, unsought,
Love gives itself, but is not bought.
It is not safe to despise what Love commands. He reigns supreme, and rules the mighty gods.
