The wife was pretty, trifling, childish, weak;
She could not think, but would not cease to speak.
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.
All other goods by fortune's hand are given,
A wife is the peculiar gift of heaven.
Should all despair
That have revolted wives, the tenth of mankind
Would hang themselves.
For talk six times with the same single lady,
And you may get the wedding dresses ready.
