<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re writing your wedding speech or wedding vows and are suffering from writer\u2019s block, there\u2019s no need to re-invent the wheel. Why not just \u2018borrow\u2019 a little inspiration from writers, actors, poets and, even, politicians of years gone by?<\/p>\n
Here are some of our favourite love and marriage quotes that you can pepper around your vows and speeches.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere there is love there is life.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> \u201cTo be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow\u2013this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> \u201cIf I get married, I want to be very married.\u201d<\/em> \u201cI love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate then when I fall asleep your eyes close.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u2013 Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets<\/p>\n \u201cYou know you\u2019re in love when you can\u2019t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.<\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u2013 Dr. Seuss<\/p>\n \u201cLove recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cA successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cI am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I\u2019ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I\u2019ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cIf I had a flower for every time thought of you\u2026 I could walk through my garden forever.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cBeing deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness\u2013and call it love\u2013true love.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n – Robert Fulghum, True Love<\/p>\n \u201cNobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cWhat greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life\u2013to strength each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?\u201d<\/strong> \u201cWe loved with a love that was more than love.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cEvery heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cWhen you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can\u2019t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don\u2019t deserve me at my best.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u2013 Marilyn Monroe<\/p>\n \u201cLove doesn\u2019t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cLet there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it be rather a moving sea between the shores of your souls.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cWhat is Love? I have met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cWhen I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cWho, being loved, is poor?\u201d<\/em><\/strong> \u201cA great marriage is not when the \u2018perfect couple\u2019 comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cThere is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.\u201d<\/strong> \u201cThere is no remedy for love but to love more.\u201d<\/strong>
