" If you ever find yourself on the side of the majority, you need to ask yourself some questions."

I heard this at a recent wedding, and really liked it.

My favorite toast for a wedding is:

May those that love you love you.

And if they cannot love you, May God turn their hearts

And if he cannot turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles

So that you will know them by their limping

"I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life." - Rita Rudner

the good thing about marriage

no matter where you go, there you are

Marriage is an institution based on love, trust and honour. So "insert groom's name here" get on her and stay on her. - Jsharr

The doors over there, its not too late.

"True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend..."

"A horse is a horse... of course, of course." (Spoken as if imitating William Shatner.)

(In fact, no matter what you end up with, read it like William Shatner.)

"True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend..."

:roflmao2:what the hell are you talking about.

“Marriage is like a bank account. You put it in, you take it out, you lose interest. ”

"True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend..."

You're my boy, Blue!!!!!!!!!!!

“Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After marriage, the ‘Y’ becomes silent.”

If you like marriage enough, do it more then once. If not, stay with the one you are with now. - hos13

Haha, I seriously might use this...

It was said at my wedding by a good friend and it now hangs on the wall of our bar/office.

Here's to our wives and girlfriends, may they never meet.

I thought you were going to come out of the closet before you got married.

Dude, that chick is HOOOOTTTT!!

Right under the "Guinness" sign, I bet :beer:

Marriage is a fierce battle before which the two partners ask heaven for its blessing, because loving each other is the most audacious of enterprises; the battle is not slow to start, and victory, that is to say freedom, goes to the cleverest.

How fitting is that guys name for a wedding quote?!:roflmao2::lol:

Marriage is the operation by which a woman’s vanity and a man’s egotism are extracted without an anaesthetic.

Before marriage, a man will go home and lie awake all night thinking about something you said; after marriage, he’ll go to sleep before you finish saying it.

To keep your marriage brimming, / With love in the loving cup, / Whenever you’re wrong, admit it; / Whenever you’re right, shut up.

A classic:

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.

minds (l. 1–4). . .


The whole text:

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Did you sign a pre-nupt?

There is no sorrow like a love denied
Nor any joy like love that has its will.

ATTRIBUTION: The Marriage of Guenevere. Act i. Sc. 3.

May your lives together be as beautiful as the love you have for each other.

this was totally the first thing that came to mind when i read the thread title :thumb:. later.

Brother's wedding is tomorrow, got a decent speech written so far, just need a little quote to throw in there for the old people to coo at.

Anyone got any ideas?:thumb:

no quotes, but some late, unsolicited advice:

1. don't focus too much on your brother, weddings are all about the bride.

2. if it's not too late, get some nice/funny details about your sister-in-law, from her family.

3. keep it relatively clean. crude speeches are boring.

4. try to memorize it. if you can't, try notes. whatever you do, avoid reading it.

5. if you have to read it, remember to pause, breath, and accentuate when needed. make sure to attempt eye contact.

6. keep it short (but not so short that it seemed like you went online and asked a bunch of people for a quote).

good luck.

"What Would Jesus Do?"

Well, at one wedding, he turned water into wine.

Is that to say you can never have enough wine at a wedding?

"It does not matter who you marry, for the day after you will find out you married someone else..."

That is true, that is so very true...

Just hope the new person is someone you like...

I don't dare show this to my wife... :rolleyes:

People wonder why I wake up at 3:00 every morning. It is so I won't be awaken with questions like... "If I die, will you remarry...?"

When you wife is sitting up in bed when you first awake watching you, it is best to make a bolt for the door... I fear very few things in life like a question at 3:00 am. What is with that? Is there some idea if you catch someone just waking up they will tell the truth? Incoherency is what you get, but boy can that get you in trouble. I think I mumbled something like "Only as long as she won't ask me questions at three in the morning..."

Honestly, I had a friend who was a newlywed who on his honeymoon was awaken by his bride with "How can you lie there sleeping while I am awake!!!" :eek:
