10 Surprise Marriage Quotes to Use in any Wedding Speech

We all remember that scene in the epic romantic comedy “Wedding Crashers” when the maid of honor starts rambling on about how the bride and groom both love the color green because they like money. Supposed to be funny, but not so much. Luckily she saves her speech with a touching quote: “True love is the soul’s recognizing of its counterpoint in another.” Bottom line: when it comes to marriage quotes, sometimes it’s best to stick to what is appropriate, meaningful, simple and proven to make people feel happy. And the best way to do that is to use a quote about love, commitment, friendship or marriage.

That doesn’t mean your quote (or your speech) needs to be boring. You just need to be a little clever about what you say and how you say it to make your speech seems personal and entertaining, without teetering over into cliché or mortifying territory. Here are 10 quotes that are perfect for any wedding speech…knock ‘em dead and thank us later.
