Weddings to me are wondrous because they are so filled with tomorrows.
MARY FORSELL, Romantic Weddings
Music played at weddings always reminds me of the music played for soldiers before they go into battle.
HEINRICH HEINE, Book of Songs
Fair weather weddings make fair weather lives.
RICHARD HOVEY, The Marriage of Guenevere
Weddings can get so bogged down in the endless exigencies of organizing and planning that the experience itself, when it finally occurs, can seem as though it has very little to do with the love that inspired it in the first place.
DAPHNE ROSE KINGMA, Weddings from the Heart
Weddings are the biggest relationship killers out there. If you can survive the wedding, they say, the rest is a piece of cake.
NOAH HAWLEY, Other People's Weddings
Weddings take months to organize, and there are fittings and invitation lists and old aunts being coy about the honeymoon, and having to have somebody's perfectly hideous cousin for a bridesmaid. And then hundreds of appalling wedding presents. Toast-racks and Japanese vases and pictures that never, in a million years, would you want to hang on the wall. And you spend all your time writing insincere thank-you letters with your fingers crossed, and everybody gets tense and miserable and there's lots of bursting into tears. The miracle is that anybody ever gets married at all, but I bet most girls have nervous breakdowns on their honeymoons.
ROSAMUNDE PILCHER, Coming Home
Single people are precious fodder at weddings.
REBECCA GREGSON, Eggshell Days
Las Vegas weddings are a phenomenon not quite like any other. The industry attracts cheers and jeers, but it touches a couple of hundred thousand people annually on the most important day of their lives.
SUSAN MARG, Las Vegas Weddings
I never did, nor do I believe I ever shall, give advice to a woman who is setting out on a matrimonial voyage; first, because I never could advise one to marry without her own consent; and, secondly, I know it is to no purpose to advise her to refrain when she has obtained it. A woman very rarely asks an opinion or requires advice on such an occasion, till her resolution is formed; and then it is with the hope and expectation of obtaining a sanction, not that she means to be governed by your disapprobation, that she applies.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Lund Washington, Sep. 20, 1783
Everything ends this way in France. Weddings, christenings, duels, burials, swindlings, affairs of state -- everything is a pretext for a good dinner.
I have always considered marriage as the most interesting event of one's life, the foundation of happiness or misery.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Burwell Bassett, May 23, 1785
Weddings remind us that our lives have meaning and that love is the strongest bond, the happiest joy, and the loveliest healing we can ever experience.
DAPHNE ROSE KINGMA, Weddings from the Heart
A wedding in haste is worth two at leisure.
GELETT BURGESS, The Maxims of Methuselah
What woman, however old, has not the bridal-favours and raiment stowed away, and packed in lavender, in the inmost cupboards of her heart.
WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY, The Virginians
Weddings are not over until they are sealed with a kiss.
SUSAN MARG, Las Vegas Weddings
