quotations about weddings
A wedding in haste is worth two at leisure.

A Laconic Manual and Brief Remarker; Containing Over a Thousand Subjects
Cling closer, closer, life to life,
Cling closer, heart to heart;
The time will come, my own wed Wife,
When you and I must part!
Let nothing break our band but Death,
For in the world above
'Tis the breaker Death that soldereth
Our ring of Wedded Love.

On a Wedding Day
You have to be true to your own heart. Maybe you always wanted the princess gown. Maybe you always wanted the barn wedding I'm old school, so I'd recommend getting some magazines, but people are finding good ideas online, too.

"Victoria's Wedding and Reception Hall will make that day more than special", Perry County Tribune, January 20, 2016
Wooing, wedding, and repenting is as a Scotch jig, a measure, and a cinque-pace: the first suit is hot and hasty like a Scotch jig--and full as fantastical; the wedding, mannerly modest, as a measure, full of state and ancientry; and then comes repentance and with his bad legs falls into the cinque-pace faster and faster, till he sink into his grave.

Your wedding day FLIES. No matter how much you spent, what hoops you jumped through, and what the weather is doing -- take a minute to slow down and take it all in. Chances are it will be the best day of your life.

"Wedding Day"
When I was younger, I hated going to weddings. Invariably, after the wedding and during the reception, my grandmothers, my aunts, and any other female relatives would come up to me and poke me in the ribs, cackling, "You're next." They finally stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals!

Weddings are not just weddings, but rather pressure-cooker moments that contain layer upon layer of psychologically fraught material.

"Dear Google, Is There a Shrink for That?", New York Times, February 6, 2016
A wedding is at once a crowded place
and a private room, packed with trusts
and empty of all but the heart's letters
which one other heart may read and decipher.

The fact is that no two weddings are alike. Who's to say what percent of your budget needs to go to food, wine, or your gown? That's a matter of your personal taste, finances, and circumstances.

"Have a white wedding without spending too much green", CT Post, April 3, 2017
If they had only themselves to consider, lovers would not need to marry, but they must think of others and of other things. They say their vows to the community as much as to one another, and the community gathers around them to hear and to wish them well, on their behalf and its own. It gathers around them because it understands how necessary, how joyful, and how fearful this joining is. These lovers, pledging themselves to one another "until death," are giving themselves away, and they are joined by this as no law or contract could join them.

When couples tie the knot, many changes are in store, many compromises will be made and many lasting memories will be created. But in the weeks and months before their big days, couples can easily get caught up in the whirlwind of wedding planning, never taking inventory of their feelings until their wedding days have arrived. Come their wedding days, couples should not be surprised if some nerves set in. A survey from the anxiety self-help resource The Fear Source indicated 71 percent of brides-to-be suffered from some type of nerves during the lead-up to their weddings. Ninety-two percent of brides experienced nerves on the day of the wedding or the evening before, while 66 percent reported that it affected their daily lives prior to their weddings or hampered their performance and enjoyment during the day itself.
