Funny Wedding Wishes

Paragraph 1

Congratulations on your nuptials! May your marriage be like your wedding cake – full of sweetness and layers of laughter. May you always find each other's socks that don't match and the remote when you need it most. Remember, marriage is like a deck of cards. At first, all you see are hearts and diamonds, but eventually, you end up with the clubs and spades. Just be prepared to deal with it!

Paragraph 2

Marriage is like a good pair of jeans – comfortable, reliable, and it gets better with age. Here's to many years of comfortable love and a marriage that's as strong as your favourite pyjamas! May your love story be longer than the speeches at this reception and infinitely more interesting. Remember, marriage is a team sport. So, choose your battles wisely, celebrate each other's victories, and always remember you're on the same side.

Paragraph 3

Congratulations on finding your Player Two! May your lives be filled with epic adventures, hilarious inside jokes, and countless "game overs" because you'll never want the game to end. May your love story be sweeter than any piece of cake at this wedding and as strong as your WiFi connection. Here's to a marriage that's just as fun as the free bar at your wedding! (Just kidding... kind of.)

Paragraph 4

Marriage is like a stroll through Jurassic Park – full of wonder and excitement, but with the occasional dinosaur lurking in the shadows. Remember, marriage is a journey, not a destination. Here's to hoping your journey together is filled with breathtaking views, unexpected detours, and the comfort of knowing you're always in it together. Congratulations on finding your co-pilot for life's adventures!

Paragraph 5

Congratulations on tying the knot! May your marriage be like a good book, full of unexpected twists, heartwarming chapters, and hopefully, a happily ever after you can write together. May your love story be the kind that gets written about in the stars and whispered by the wind, a timeless testament to the power of two souls finding their forever home in each other. Cheers to a lifetime of shared Netflix accounts, stolen fries, and questionable fashion choices!

Paragraph 6

Marriage is like a box of chocolates – you never know what you're going to get, but hopefully, it's mostly caramels and truffles, with the occasional peanut butter cup to keep things interesting. Wishing you a lifetime of adventures, laughter, and enough takeout boxes to fuel all your late-night Netflix binges. Congratulations on finding your happily ever after! May your love story be longer than this speech and infinitely more interesting.

Wedding Wishes for Friends

It's always a special occasion when a friend gets married, and you want to send them your best wishes. If you're close to the friend who is tying the knot, you might want to write something more personalised and from the heart. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• "I'm so happy to call you both my friends. Congratulations!"
• "May you bring each other as much happiness as your friendship has brought to my life—and more!"
• "We've had so many laughs together! May you always make each other laugh!"
• "Of all the big life events we've celebrated over the years, today tops the list. Congrats!"
• "Thank you for inviting me to share this day with you and your family. Best wishes."
• "We're so thrilled to celebrate this wonderful day with you both."
• "Best wishes for a long and happy life together."
• "I'm so happy to call you both my friends. Congratulations!"
• "May your marriage bring as much happiness to your life as our friendship has brought to mine."
• "You make each other shine brighter than ever before, and it's for that reason alone that I'm willing to share you. Cheers to finding your forever."
• "I can't think of anyone in the world more deserving of happiness than you, my friend. I can't wait to see what life has in store for the happy couple. Congrats!"
• "I hope the years ahead are filled with nothing but hugs and kisses, my friend, because no one deserves happily ever after more than you!"

• "Congratulations to a wonderful friend and their new husband/wife. May your marriage be filled with joy, love and laughter!"
• "It makes me so proud to see you take this step together. Congratulations, my friend!"

A few general tips to keep in mind:

• It's good to acknowledge the couple in your message, not just the friend you are closest to.
• You can include a prayer, bible quote or meaningful quote from a book or movie if it's appropriate and will be appreciated.
• Keep it short and sweet, but also meaningful.
• If you are giving a gift, you can attach a short message to that, such as, "Here's to starting your next chapter in style!"
