Wedding quotes for friends to capture admiration and celebration.

There comes a time when it seems like everyone is getting married. Through our 20s and 30s, the inbound wedding announcements seem to be nonstop.

Finding the words to capture the celebratory spirit for one friend after another can be tricky. Maybe you see one couple as an example, and you’ve seen another friend as her best self in a healthy relationship. You’re happy for each of them, but you can’t instantly get every message right.

That’s why there are wedding quotes for friends. Some are perfect wedding quotes for Instagram, too, because they’re short and shareable. Marriage, after all, is a public proclamation. Razzing a friend on social media can be a fun way to spread the news.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.”

Wedding toast quotes for everyone who’s handed the mic.

Wedding speech quotes serve one purpose: they get the ball rolling. The newlyweds stand up and speak, and one or more of the parents get up and speak. Members of the bridal party speak, too. Like so many kids in the classroom, everyone wonders how good the toast before their own will be.

So, why not start with the wedding toast quotes that you know will hit home?

It’s a natural instinct to try to crack wise in a wedding toast, because laughter loosens everyone up (especially the person speaking). There are other wedding love quotes to use in toasts, too, some of them with truly resounding messages.

Aristotle
“There is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved.”
