Love reckons hours for months, and days for years;
And every little absence is an age.
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.

And if I don't hurt her she'll do me no harm.

Whoso has not escaped from will, no will has he.
Spirit is very subtle and love is very jealous,
What room for form, if the felt is hundredfold?
