Wedding Toasts

Here’s to the bride and groom, a case of love pure and
Simple: (Bride) is pure and (Groom) is simple.
Here’s to King Solomon, ruler and sage,
The wisest of men in history’s age.
He had wives by the thousand, and thought it was fun.
Here’s hoping you’ll know how to handle just one.
Nothing is nobler or more admirable
Than when two people who see eye to eye live together as
Husband and wife,
Thereby confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.
~ Homer, from The Odyssey

May you never lie, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in each other’s arms. And if you must cheat, cheat death. But if you must drink, drink with all of us because we love you.
Marriage is a lot like the army; everyone complains, but you’d be surprised at the large number that re-enlist.
A wedding wish: May you never forget what is worth remembering, or remember what is worth forgetting.
Look down you gods,
And on this couple drop a blessed crown.
~ William Shakespeare

Never above you, never below you,
Always beside you.
…..And remember, on any disagreement the husband is entitled to the last few words. And those words are, “Yes, dear.”
To the happy couple. May your needs be few, your blessings be many, and your credit be limitless and low-interest.
May your lifetime together be full and complete,
And your kisses together be deep, warm, and sweet.
Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter to the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there is no more loneliness. Now there are two persons, but one life before you. Go now to your dwelling, to enter in to the days of your life together. And may your days be good and long upon the Earth.
