Funny Advice About a Long Marriage

Don't get us wrong, we love a romantic quote about love and marriage but sometimes too much of the sweet stuff can get a little soppy. It's why we reckon it's always a good idea to throw some funny marriage quotes into the mix.

Marc Blakewill from wedding speech writing service All Write On The Night points out: "Think about a memorable speech from a wedding you've attended. How many of the lines can you actually remember? Surprisingly tough isn't it? However, I bet you'll recall whether it made you laugh out loud or not." Adding humour to your speech will help to strike that magic balance between sweet and sentimental, funny and endearing - whether you're part of the happy couple or the wedding party!

It will also help with comic timing and keeping your guests engaged. "A speech with a handful of laughs will seem much shorter than one without - good gags will leave the guests wanting more not looking at their watches. What's more, getting a laugh under your belt at the top of your speech is the ultimate confident booster!", says Marc.

While that may sound like a tall order, we promise it's nowhere near as hard as you think. To make things easier, we've gathered the very best funny quotes on love and marriage for you to include, plus expert speech writing tips from Marc on how to weave them into your wedding speech.

These quotes are short and snappy - in fact, we reckon there's even space for a funny quote or two on table names or save the dates - it's totally up to you!

Four Tips For Writing a Funny Wedding Speech

• Marc Blakewill from All Write On The Night recommends: "When choosing a funny quotation, try to make it as pertinent to the groom or bride's interests or backstory and it will have the most impact." If you've been chosen to make a wedding speech it's likely you know the subject quite well, but it's a good idea to chat to members of the wedding party prior to speech writing so you have any information you might not be aware of.
• When it comes to structuring a funny wedding speech, "think of the main part of the speech as the cake and the quotation as the cherry on top. You might wish to use a funny quotation for each main section e.g. any drinking stories in a best man's speech could be introduced with Homer Simpson's classic line: 'Alcohol: the cause and solution to all of life's problems.' Funny quotations can also work really well near the end. You've already told stories about the bride or groom so the quotation can refer backwards," says Marc.
• Is the bride or groom a major movie buff? "Lines from a film or TV show can work a treat, especially if you've already established that they're, for example, a massive Ben Stiller or Friends fan," suggests Marc.
• Marc also proposes that "instead of ending with a line the guests might have heard before, why not use some lyrics from the bride or groom's favourite pop band? It can be heartfelt and get a laugh because you're not quoting Keats or Shakespeare but Taylor Swift or Gary Barlow."

Whether they're funny or romantic, a wedding poem is another great way to spice up your speech so make sure you check out  these 73 sweet wedding poems for your ceremony!
