Marriage is a wonderful institution but who wants to live in an institution?
The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
A new groom sweeps clean. All brides are beautiful.
A young man married is a young man marred,
Homely babies make pretty ladies.
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something
blue.
You can choose your friends but you can't choose your relatives.
You can drag a groom to the altar but you can't make him say “I
do!"
Happy is the bride the sun shines on.
