Fantastic Shakespeare Wedding Vows?

My favorite sonnet:

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove.

O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wand'ring bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his ending sickle's compass come;

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

--Shakespeare, Sonnet CXVI

RE:

Fantastic Shakespeare Wedding Vows?

Any suggestions for some appropriate Shakespeare quotes to use for wedding vows? I've come across Sonnets 16 and 118; they are good but not perfect. HELP!!

(By the way, I asked this a few days ago and, as it was my first time asking a question on Yahoo Answers and I accidentally closed the...

The first sonnet listed was the one that my husband and I picked for our wedding. In our wedding bands we had "Never doubt I love" engraved... it's from Hamlet. Not the most romantic play, I know, but we loved the sentiment.

Hope this helps!

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,

My love as deep; the more I give to thee,

The more I have, for both are infinite.

(Romeo and Juliet, 2.2.139-41)

One half of me is yours, the other half yours

Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours,

And so all yours.

(The Merchant of Venice, 3.2.17-9)

Doubt thou the stars are fire;

Doubt that the sun doth move;

Doubt truth to be a liar;

But never doubt I love.

(Hamlet, 2.2.123-6)

All days are nights to see till I see thee,

And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.

(Sonnet 43)

"Doth thou the stars are fire..."

Hamlet act 2 sc. 2 line 124

"My bounty is as boundless as the sea,

My love as deep; the more I give to thee,

The more I have, for both are infinite."

Romeo and Juliet

'Tis beauty truly blent, whose red and white

Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid on:

Lady, you are the cruell'st she alive,

If you will lead these graces to the grave

And leave the world no copy.

Twelfth Night

Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date:

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;

Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

Love's Labours Lost"

But love, first learned in a lady's eyes,

Lives not alone immured in the brain;

But, with the motion of all elements,

Courses as swift as thought in every power,

And gives to every power a double power,

Above their functions and their offices.

It adds a precious seeing to the eye;

A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind;

A lover's ear will hear the lowest sound,

When the suspicious head of theft is stopp'd:

Love's feeling is more soft and sensible

Than are the tender horns of cockl'd snails;

Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste:

For valour, is not Love a Hercules,

Still climbing trees in the Hesperides?

Subtle as Sphinx; as sweet and musical

As bright Apollo's lute, strung with his hair:

And when Love speaks, the voice of all the gods

Makes heaven drowsy with the harmony.

Never durst poet touch a pen to write

Until his ink were temper'd with Love's sighs;

O, then his lines would ravish savage ears

And plant in tyrants mild humility.

From women's eyes this doctrine I derive:

They sparkle still the right Promethean fire;

They are the books, the arts, the academes,

That show, contain and nourish all the world:

Else none at all in ought proves excellent.

He is the half part of a blessed man,

Left to be finished by such as she;

And she a fair divided excellence,

Whose fulness of perfection lies in him.

(King John, 2.1.456-9)

One half of me is yours, the other half yours

Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours,

And so all yours.

(The Merchant of Venice, 3.2.17-9)

I love thee so, that, maugre all thy pride,

Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide.

Do not extort thy reasons from this clause,

For that I woo, thou therefore hast no cause

But rather reason thus with reason fetter,

Love sought is good, but given unsought better.

(Twelfth Night, 3.1.151-6)

I hope these help these were what i collected for my wedding

Watch Romeo and Juliet, you'll get alot of good quotes from that
