Every couple I have the pleasure of working with chooses a deeply personal wedding quote for their ceremony. At the beginning of our conversation, I reassure my couples that this is not a confirmation quote they will have to recite during the ceremony. Many feel relieved to hear this! 😉

What is a Wedding Quote?

Your personal wedding quote weaves through your ceremony like a red thread—I will weave it into my speech at just the right moments. Even after the ceremony, it will serve as a constant companion, guiding you through both joyful and challenging times.
The wedding quote can sometimes be referred to as a wedding motto, wedding saying, ceremony quote, marriage quote, vow quote, or personal motto.

Which Wedding Quote Suits Us?

I recommend my couples choose their quote based on the following criteria:

  • Which quote resonates with both of us, not just today, but also in our future?
  • Which quote best reflects our shared story, our relationship, and our values?
  • Which quote do we want to accompany us on our journey together?

These questions provide guidance and help you find a quote that will hold special meaning for you.

Is a Wedding Quote Necessary?

Some officiants forgo a wedding quote to save on the extra effort.

However, it’s worth it. Even during our preparatory conversations, the quote helps make our discussions more personal. I learn what is most important to the couple in their relationship and the values that connect them. All of this is woven into my unique wedding speech.

And when the couple hears their chosen wedding quote during the ceremony, they often look at each other even more consciously than they already do.
What touches me most is when couples come back years later to share that they still remember their quote and that it has served as a beacon guiding them through both good and challenging times.
