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.

"If I were God, I certainly wouldn't want people to love me sentimentally. It's too unreliable."
My heart, have you no wisdom thus to despair?
My love, my love, my love, why have you left me alone?
I love my government not least for the extent to which it leaves me alone.
