Wedding Wishes for Wife and Husband
Wedding wishes for a happy future
It would be ideal if your wedding wishes are individual and stand out from the crowd, you find beautiful words and do not leave out any good wish.
For a personalized text, in this case wedding sayings can serve as inspiration. Interpret the saying, relate it to the bride and groom and explain its meaning – you have a beautiful text for the wedding.
Often you need not only wedding sayings for the wedding card, but also for the guest book. If you are close to the couple, you may also need something for a toast or a small wedding speech.
Personalized Wedding Wishes
Personalized wedding wishes
In this section you will find heartfelt wedding wishes that are a bit more individual than our previous wishes.
They are tailored to certain characteristics of couples and are very personal. Some of them are based on quotes or sayings, some are freely formulated.
• It took you guys a while to find each other, but I have to say it was worth it. You are a great couple, a good team and I am convinced that you will get through any distance and any difficulty in life.
• Ah you two,
it's been so many years since you met and I may admit, I already knew at the beginning that you will get married.
The base was there from the beginning: trust, reliability, friendship and love. Always keep these relationship gifts in mind, care for them, and let them grow, and you will continue to grow in your marriage.
• "The love between two people thrives on the beautiful moments. But it grows through the difficult times they both face together." (Unknown)
From this saying, I can only conclude that your love is already incredibly great – and it will continue to grow. I am confident that you will overcome any situation with your joy of life and you will always appreciate each other.
• "Marriage is, and will always be, the most important journey of discovery that a man could ever do." (Soren Kierkegaard)
It's good that you both already have experience with voyages of discovery. Just as you love to travel the world, I hope you also love to discover and master all the corners of your marriage. After all, you've always been a well-coordinated team, so I'm confident you can do it left-handed.
• Dear bride and groom,
sometimes I imagine you two are from a different time – so respectful of each other, the romantic gestures you make to each other. It's not often you get to experience something like that today, and I thank you for keeping the past alive that keeps me believing in romance.
• Dear Bride, Dear Groom,
Mark Twain once said, "To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with."
And we are rejoicing with you tremendously! It's great to see how happy you are with each other. And we are so thankful to be able to celebrate your big day with you.
For your journey together, we wish it to be varied and adventurous, and most importantly, that no one can take away your joy.
Hugs and kisses from your friends
• "Shared intellectual activity unites more closely than the bond of marriage."
(Unknown)
The two of you seem so different at first glance and yet I know of no couple that is more soul mate than you. Your bond is strong and grows stronger with each passing year. For your wedding I wish you that you still hold together and do not let anyone deter you. You belong together!
• He loves her because she is patient, creative and brave.
She loves him because he is balanced, strong and funny.
He loves her and says yes to her today.
She loves him and promises to be faithful to him forever.
(Unknown)
Dear bride and groom, you love each other for so many more reasons and I wish your love a bright future.
• To the dear lovebirds,
you are a perfect match because you both love to sing, have the same sense of humor, one can cook and one can't (it won't be revealed who is who). You fit together because you have understanding for each other, you are both impatient and finally because you both love each other infinitely.
I wish you all the best for your wedding. I'm glad to know you and I'm sure you have a great future ahead of you!
• Whoever says "yes" must also say "no":
No to a blanket just for you. No to canned food and no to power over the remote.
Your marriage will bring many exciting things to which you will happily say "yes" and "no." Some may even become "yeses" – compromises are part of the deal, after all. On your journey together, I wish you to face your "yeses" and "nos" resolutely and never regret them.
Use such wedding greetings only if you know the couple well and do not offend them with such a personal touch. Indeed, personal wedding wishes can be sentimental or pick up on the individual relationship history.
Good friends or family will surely be happy to receive such a nice token of love. This kind of wedding wishes shows that you have put a lot of thought and great effort.
Tip for wedding anniversary wishes
There is hardly anything more beautiful than true love that lasts a lifetime. For this reason, you can congratulate a couple on their anniversary every year.
For example, write them a beautiful card with a loving saying about eternal love. Here we have an example for you:
"I always knew you two had something special. I can't believe it's been [number] years already. Here's to many more! I hope you have a wonderful day as a couple and enjoy your love."
