✨ Short poems & quote-style wedding wishes for a friend (91–100)

My friend, you’ve found your matching soul,
Your teammate, comfort, laughing role.
Today you say a lifelong “yes” –
I’ve never seen you look so blessed.

Two friends we were, now three we stand,
Your partner’s joined this slightly mad band.
From my whole heart, both old and new,
I wish a gentle life for you.

“A real friend is the one who cheers loudest
when you find the love you truly deserve.”
Today that’s me. Congratulations on your wedding.

From late-night chats to wedding vows,
From “maybe one day” to “it’s here, it’s now”.
My friend, I’m proud of all you’ve done –
May married life be kind and fun.

Two hearts, one home, one messy sink,
A thousand cups of shared-hot-drink.
My friend, may all your married days
Be stitched with love in quiet ways.

“Marriage isn’t about the perfect couple,
it’s about two imperfect people choosing
to show up, every single day.”
My friend, I know you’ll show up well. Congratulations.

We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve shared our fears,
Through many wild and wonky years.
Today I watch you say “I do” –
My friend, I’m so, so proud of you.

New rings, new names on letters too,
But you’re still you and they’re still you.
My wish is simple, warm and true –
May love stay kind and real for you.

“Friendship watched your story start,
and now it watches vows of heart.”
I’m honoured to see this chapter begin. Congratulations on your wedding.

My friend, today your hands entwine,
Your stories blend, your paths align.
May every step that lies ahead
Be soft of heart and sure of tread. Congratulations.
