One of my favorite aspects of writing wedding ceremonies is looking up quotations about love. I am always inundated with beautiful quotes from all ages—modern thoughts to decade old adages. I personally love all types of love quotes from mushy to funny. You can always find one that suits your wedding style. Which love quotes speak to you?
