I need a better quote than these. I'm looking for a quote to introduce a non-traditional (wacky/strange/humorous) wedding ceremony. So far I have "If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly." - GK Chesterton. But the word "badly" is too negative. The quote need not specifically mention marriage. Can MeFiers come to my rescue?

There comes a time, when two people are dating, that they realize that their toothbrushes are just too far apart.

The world is full of double beds
And most delightful Maidenheads
That being so there's no excuse
For Sodomy or Self-Abuse

I don't remember who wrote it tho.

Celia, Celia

When I am sad and weary
When I think all hope has gone
When I walk along High Holborn
I think of you with nothing on.

When in doubt, consult the Devil's Dictionary:

MARRIAGE, n.
The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two.
