Weddings are joyous occasions, but there's something to be said about the humorous side of them. Whether it's a haiku-inspired wedding advice or a candid comment about the groom's friends, these quotes bring a touch of levity to a memorable celebration. Here are some of the most hilarious quotes about weddings we've heard, along with a personal anecdote that adds a unique twist.
Classic Humorous Wedding Quotes
One of the most amusing wedding quotes comes from Ogden Nash, a renowned humorous poet. In his piece "Advice to a Newlywed Husband", he provides a whimsical advice:
To keep your marriage brimming with love in the loving cup, whenever you're wrong admit it... whenever you're right shut up!
This quote perfectly captures the essence of a balanced and loving relationship. It emphasizes the importance of honesty and humility, reinforcing the idea that sometimes, the best way to show love is by being gracious, even when it's not your turn to speak.
A Personal Anecdote
During a lively charity wedding celebration, a Royal Marine was asked to entertain the guests. As part of the celebration, he was asked to sing a tune when the bride entered the church. The performance was to be a surprise, with the Marine positioned in a side porch so he remained hidden. The plan was foolproof — a walkie-talkie would signal him when the bride arrived. Unbeknownst to me, my company, Neil Marine, was a close friend to the groom.
Neil was not a fan of the bride. He harbored doubts about her and was overheard making disparaging remarks about her. What made the situation even more interesting was Neil's perspective on the entire wedding ordeal. He was skeptical of the groom and his friends, believing that none of them truly wanted the wedding to go through. My conversation with Neil went a little something like this:
He said, 'She's clearly a fantasist. Volunteering with orphans when she was actually in rehab. Supposedly modeled for Armani…with that nose!'
He continued, 'And she does look the type who daddy is always paying for. Schools ponies, ballet, rehab for her eating disorder, the elaborate wedding to her first husband, another stint in rehab for the breakd...
Neil's scathing remarks added an unexpected layer of humor and drama to the wedding. It was a stark reminder that even on the most joyous day, there can be a flurry of behind-the-scenes tension. However, it also served as a reminder to focus on the day's true purpose — celebrating love and commitment.
