By Bing Wang


You might hear the ghost of Jack Parr chuckling |chortling, away if you use these one-liners in your wedding day speech. These brief pieces of comedy |respites of humor| are time-honored ways to liven up a speech. edited for appropriateness, you can safely include one or more of these in your speech or toast.

1. Marriage is a thing, which puts a ring on a woman's finger and two under the man's eyes.

2. Marriage is a 3-ring circus: engagement ring, wedding rink and suffering.

3. Marriage is not a word, it's a sentence...a life sentence.

4. Never marry a man for money. You will have to earn every penny.

5. Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener

6. A man said his credit card was stolen but he decided not to report it because the thief was spending less than his wife did.

7. It's not true that married men live longer than single men. It just seems like it.

8. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months...I don't like to interrupt her.

9. A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

10. A man is incomplete until he is married. After that, he is finished.

The way you use these one-liners varies on the tone of your speech. Following the age-old wisdom of beginning with a joke to break the ice will get you off to a good start. It's especially helpful for overcoming your jitters. The roar of the crowd laughing will most likely be a strong encouragement for you.

It is true that humor relaxes people - both you and many of the wedding guests. You'll sense their approval by hearing their laughter. And who doesn't like to put a smile on the faces of the bride and groom on their special day. It is a happy occasion where you want to see a room full of happy people.

These jokes have been chosen for their gentleness; they will not insult or belittle or make a poke fun at the bride or groom. If you use humor in your speech, be careful to close with statements that reflect the solemnity of the occasion and the sincerity of your good wishes to the bride and groom.
