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.
Away, the partial love
That ‘boldens Nature to sit above
Her Maker!
Then Love, I beg, when next thou takest thy bow, . . .
Pass rascal deer, strike me the largest doe.
In the fire of love we live, or pass by many ways,
By unnumbered ways of dream to death.
The Hermit
I made Man with too many faults. Yet I love him.
And if he wishes, I have a home above for him.
Love is not a symptom of time.
Time is just a symptom of love
Who is wealthy?... Rabbi Akiva says: Anyone who has a wife whose actions are pleasant
(To his 24,000 pairs of students) My (Torah knowledge) and yours are hers (his wife)
What did I know, what did I know
of love's austere and lonely offices?
