Divine is Love and scorneth worldly pelf,
And can be bought with nothing but with self.
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.
While all the future, for thy purer soul,
With "sober certainties" of love is blest.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Cause love is love, it never ends
Can we all be as one again?
A bad marriage is like an electrical thrilling machine: it makes you dance, but you can't let go.
I am not against hasty marriages, where a mutual flame is fanned by an adequate income.
Marriage is a feast where the grace is sometimes better than the dinner.
