When I was looking for the best lesbian wedding quotes, I knew I wanted to use a unique angle, but I wasn’t sure, at first, exactly what that would be.
Then, a light bulb went off in my head and I decided that I would do a unique set of wedding quotes- song lyrics!
Sure there are lots of songs that are used at weddings, but most of them aren’t geared towards lesbian couples who are getting married.
This is really unfortunate because while the language of love is universal, many of the songs used for weddings aren’t.
So, without further ado, here are some awesome songs to play at your wedding!

How to Weave Quotes Into Your Lesbian Wedding Ceremony
But before we get into sharing some of the best lesbian wedding quotes you might want to work into your ceremony, let’s highlight a couple of ways you can integrate these quotes into your special day seamlessly:
- Include a particularly important quote on your invitations or signage – A great way to integrate a romantic quotation that really sums up your relationship is to included on your invitations (prominently or subtly) or to have it displayed at your wedding on your signage.
- Have the quote on your wedding program – Another approach is to prominently feature the romantic quote on your wedding program, something that many of your guests aren’t just going to look at during the ceremony but also something that they’ll take home with them as a keepsake.
- Weave your favorite quote into your vows – If you and your partner are writing your own vows there’s plenty of opportunity to find a way to spotlight your favorite romantic quote somewhere in your speech. Take the time not only to share the quote, but also share the depth of its meaning and importance to your relationship as well.
- Have your quotes read by a friend or family member during the ceremony – Finally, you might want to think about coming up with a handful of quotes that you want to be read and then expanded on by the speaker during your ceremony. Maybe it’s someone at your wedding party, maybe it’s someone in your family, or maybe it’s a close friend. This can be a great way to include someone important to you that might have otherwise been “left out” of the ceremony.
Romantic Lesbian Wedding Quotes
Finding a way to celebrate your love at a wedding, sharing it with all of your friends, family, and guests in a quick quote, can sometimes be a whole lot more challenging than you might think.
It’s not that there are too few romantic wedding quotes out there to pick and choose from, but that there are so many – and (if we are being honest) a lot of them feel a little less inclusive than we might like for a lesbian wedding.
To help you in your search we highlight a couple of romantic lesbian wedding quotes you might want to mix into your vows or your ceremony.The beautiful thing about these quotes is how universal they are, but how intimate and how personal they feel at the same time. These are the kinds of quotes your guests can immediately identify with you, your loved one, and maybe even themselves and the people they hold closest to them
There’s magic in these quotes:
- “I choose you. And I’ll always choose you, over, over, and over. With out a pause, with out any ounce of doubt, in a heartbeat. And I’ll keep on choosing you forever.” – Unknown
- “I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.” – Elizabeth Barrett Browning
- “I knew from the moment I met you there was just something special about you that I knew I needed. Turns out it wasn’t anything special about you at all. It was always just you.” – Jamie Clayton
- “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” – Lao Tzu
- “You must be the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and the most beautiful person I’ve ever known—and believe me, that is an understatement.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald
