if we're talkin Broadway quotes, how about Married from Cabaret. or The Next 10 Minutes from L5Y (though it might be bad luck to quote that show at a wedding). Sondheim's got a bunch of good marriage quotes, unfortunately most of the best ones are negative.

Right, don't pick a Sondheim quote about marriage, especially "Getting Married Today" from Company. re: weDDING EMERGENcY!!!

How about something along the lines of…

“Hey, Straight People, does this feel good? Don’t you think EVERYONE should be able to get married? Why should we celebrate your 'legal' union when there are millions who cannot do the same? Here is your frigging toaster and I SINCERELY hope your marriage last longer than both of Brittany’s and all six or seven of J.Lo’s. Now give me a cold glass of Crystal! Mozeltov Mo Foze.!”


PEACE.

I've always been a fan of Joanne's line from COMPANY when it comes to being in love. She says to Bobby "You have to want Somebody, not some body." So if it's true that they've chosen one another for who they are and not just for the safety of being with someone, then this is a great quote I think. I'll admit I kind of live by it.

Sueleen, what show was that from?
