Sometimes books or an internet search just don't deliver the goods. I'm searching for a short, amusing quote/poem for a wedding card. Can anyone top this one by Ogden Nash?
To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong admit it;
Whenever you're right shut up.

"Grooms name" the secret of a long and happy marriage is just two little words, "Yes Dear"
I use it when we know the groom better than the bride :-)

Who's writing it? Relationship? How broad mined are the recipients?
Put 50% each in, result happiness, put only 25% in and the other has to work the remaining 75% result disaster..moral. each put in your 50% and you will celebrate you Golden Wedding.

Now you will feel no rain,
For each of you will be shelter to the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
For each of you will be warmth to the other.
Now there is no more loneliness,
For each of you will be companion to the other.
Now you are two bodies,
But there is one life before you.
Go now to your dwelling place,
To enter into the days of your togetherness.
And may your days be good and long upon the earth.
I though it was wonderfuly pretty and its been borrowed by a couple of other family weddings and one uncle has got it with the undertaker to go on his and his wifes grave when they both pop there clogs :)
Think only this, when getting spliced
You DON'T intend to do it twice!
Am's winning. Any other offers? ;D

Shorter:
"You do?
Well done!"
This is not short Georgie and would not suit everyone but I am fond of this verse by someone called J.Morse
A Wedding Blessing
May the good Lord truly bless you
as you say the words I do
may your lives be filled with joy
and blessings follow you
May your days be filled with sunshine
and nights be filled with love
and may you stand together strong
when storm clouds loom above
May you always find true happiness
and remember each day through
Life is always sweeter
when you whisper I love you.
Yes, that's lovely, Betula, but not suitable on this occasion. I just want something short and amusing :)
