Elizabeth Smith
I remember when I was in school, they would ask, 'What are you going to be when you grow up?' and then you'd have to draw a picture of it. I drew a picture of myself as a bride.
Gwen Stefani
A man's got two shots for jewellery: a wedding ring and a watch. The watch is a lot easier to get on and off than a wedding ring.
John Mayer
Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife.
Franz Schubert
The essence of marriage is companionship, and the woman you face across the coffee urn every morning for ninety-nine years must be both able to appreciate your jokes and to sympathize with your aspirations.
Elbert Hubbard
You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
Dr Seuss
When a man opens a car door for his wife, it’s either a new car or a new wife.
Prince Philip
