25 Wedding Speech One-Liners That Actually Work in 2025

Posted on Friday, 8th August 2025 by Matt

Whether you're the best man, the bride, or a proud parent, one killer one-liner can make your wedding speech memorable for all the right reasons. In 2025, the key is originality, relatability, and just the right mix of wit and warmth. Here are 25 tried-and-tested (and a few freshly minted) one-liners that actually land.

Humorous One-Liners

"Marriage is a workshop - where the husband works and the wife shops."
"They say love is blind... which explains the matching Crocs they've packed for their honeymoon."
"They say opposites attract... which is great, because one of them is always cold and the other is always wrong."
"Before marriage, he was Mr Right. Now, he's just Mr 'Yes, dear'."
"I read somewhere that marriage is a journey. In their case, it's a road trip... with no sat nav and very different playlists."
"Let's raise a glass to a lifetime of Googling 'what to have for dinner' together."

Sentimental One-Liners

"Some people search the whole world for their person, and these two found each other on the same little island."
"They're proof that love isn't about perfection, it's about choosing each other, every day, even when someone leaves socks on the floor."
"May today be the day you love each other the least, because every day from now should only grow stronger."
"This isn't just the start of a marriage, it's the start of a million little moments that turn into a beautiful life."
"Their love is the kind you feel in a room, even when they're just looking at each other from across the dancefloor."
"Watching these two together, you realise that soulmates aren't found, they're made, through patience, laughter, and compromise."
"They've built something beautiful, not out of grand gestures, but out of everyday kindness and cups of tea."
"Today isn’t about the perfect dress or the speeches, it's about the promise they've made, quietly and boldly."
"What makes this love story special is that it's theirs, unique, unfiltered, and totally genuine."
"As they step into married life, may they always find in each other what the world can't offer: home."

Trendy & Topical One-Liners

"He knew she was the one when she didn't judge his Spotify Wrapped."
"They're proof that true love can survive the group chat, shared calendars, and accidentally liking your ex's photo from 2017."
"If you asked ChatGPT to describe the perfect couple... well, even it would say 'It's complicated, but beautiful.'"
"Love in 2025 looks like this: two people, one big adventure, and probably a shared Pinterest board for the kitchen extension."
